as a few of you may have noticed in one or two of my old threads I have a bit of a thing about nicely made wooden items  especially toy cars ;D these are two that my lads bought me as part of my Christmas present , they are very well made as they are supposed to be educational toys for younger children  good job I refuse to grow up then  |

I love Automoblox! George has one of the smaller versions,   I hope that for his birthday, and over the next year we'll be able to expand his collection as he'll be getting to an age to appreciate them more. |

Hey thats cool, did you make it? yes I did , about 30 odd years ago for my son Lee and he played with it for hours he's 35 now  I also made him quite a few trucks that stood the test of time and I have given them away to friends over the years but I decided to keep this one  |

Hi Joe, a few pictures of some wooden toys that were left in my house by the previous owners family. There were loads, but I gave some away. There is a working fork-lift truck somewhere, I think it's in the attic, that is absolutely brilliant. The few I can put my hands on are a traction engine, recovery lorry, and a loco and carriage. Hope you like  With roll of masking tape for scale   |

1960 Ford Thames 402e resto
1965 Ford Thames 400e van 5.7 ltr
1965 Ford 100e 2.1 Pinto power
It all takes time and money, why do I never have them both at the same time?
