CATCH OF THE DAY: LUCKY JIMSON

Today's catch at the local boot sale is shown above: Lucky Fire Tender, Jimson Flour Truck, FK Missile Launcher (like the Spacex Cricket), VW Breakdown Van, Red Cab, die-cast Renault and battle-damaged DINKY (Ta Sean!) SPC (did they come in black?) together with a VHS Video of Thunderbirds Are Go and a couple of Big Box VHS Video's, which I collect. Not a bad hawl.

  2. Further to the post above, the SPC is by Dinky not Corgi.

    The VW is a copy of Corgi's and the fire tender is a larger version of a Matchbox toy I think.

  3. Don't recall the Patrol Car with a black paint job. But it does look like there is black paint on the rear transparency, so maybe a home-painted version?

  4. Thanks for the info Sean and Toad. I'm hanging onto the VW, Fire Tender and Cricket for further reserach but the rest are Ebay bound. I need some sheckles for holiday fund!
