News, Views Etc . . . Lose Ends

Latest release from Barney over at Herald Toys and Models (I've just been over there and they are selling fast!);

"We are very pleased to announce the arrival from Derbyshire of a new, very substantial, one-owner collection of plastics from the late 1950's and early 60's, both 54mm and 60mm scale. Whether you collect by maker (most British makers are represented) or thematically (from Arabs to Zulus), there are many interesting and unusual figures to whet your collecting appetite!"

Proving I'm not just a pretty face, and with thanks to Adrian Little for the heads-up, this image from the recent Vectis auctions (and I downloaded all the catalogues when telling you about them, but missed it!) confirms both the scrambler type and board-game origins of the motorcycles I hinted at when we looked at them a couple of  posts ago! The Glevum Series 'Dirt Track Racing for Motor Cycles' seems to be the source of a six-set, paint wise.
