NGF Antiques Roadshow

[Newportnobby]

Here are some items which may become collectables at some point in the future and, in the words of Delboy, could make me a millionaire (yeah, right )
Does anyone else out there have items salted away (maybe in that 'safe place') for that rainy day?

(Important - this is in no way meant to be a serious topic but I didn't want to file it under 'Jokes' as, you never know, there may be a surprise if Fiona Bruce got hold of my lot

Can you see I don't watch too much TV, yet alone Pommy stuff

I do like to collect curiosities from the history of N Gauge to sit in my cabinet. Not necessarily rare or hard to find but they interest me 

Early push-along Minitrix:




Lone Star Treble-O-Lectric:



Lima can-motor 86:


Arnold "Goldies":



I've got complete working sets of Ibertren 3-rail, early Arnold, Minitrix, and Piko etc. all stacked on a shelf, plus show souvenir models from trade fairs and exhibitions, Minitrix Club wagons, ealy Röwa wagons still sealed in their boxes etc.  - in other words, way too much!

Quite a few of my models from the 70s still see active service at shows

That could make your eyes water, Mick.

The Treblolectic pic is so cool.

Anyone one got any Lone Star push along pics?

I had heaps of that stuff, but it vanished into the ether before they even thought of an ether.

Or me coming to Australia, for that matter

@Bealman .....surely it all got left behind once you were put into your arrowed pyjamas and the ball and chain fitted as you boarded the ship??

Just for @Bealman (and everybody else)

I suffer from a similar affliction, even got a "working" LoneStar Class 24 (as it wasn't known at the time).

To avoid repetition, here's a 1975 Tomix AC electric loco (made by Kader/Bachmann in Hong Kong):

There are tons of it on ebay at the moment!   I had a very similar set as a youngster,  with the footbridge and signal box etc. (indeed the signal box still sits in my cabinet alongside the Push-Trix, there's a glimpse of it in my 2nd photo above :-) )

Thought this may be about a members meet up

I was expecting Mick to post a picture of me the way I was feeling when he called me last night!
