    My main hobby is collecting Lesney matchbox diecast models which I have doing for quite a few years now.

          Hi,

          Looks good , bet not many know what 2/4 means these days !

          Only got one from our childhood, think its sold by Hornby, though probably made by Matchbox ?
          Pic from the web, not mine, seems the same.

            I have a collection of Die Cast model cars, mostly police vehicles. My interest in collecting die cast began when visiting North Yorks some twent years ago. The owner of a cafe in Pickering had glass cases all around the cafe of so many models.

            I made a simple wall mounted case with glass shelves, didn't cost much but reall look good. Each car looks different unlike todays models all looking the same.
