I have just found these on You Tube, in case you have not seen them before, although I expect you have. Both clips are British Pathe.

British Toy Fair 1968, with a beautiful (and large) plastic car ferry, Pelham Puppets of the Beatles, toy guns, a space car that should interest you, and Airfix kits. There is even a made up Eldon 3D Scenic kit - the undersea one with the diver and shark - sitting on a table.
The angle shows the curved backscene - these sets were a fair size. It seems to be on the Wells Brimtoy stand, so they must have been distributing these Eldon kits in Britain in the late 1960s.
Next up, the 1958 Fair with covered wagon pedal cars, Herald cowboys with interchangeable parts, dancers of the world, a dog sled, a gun for firing table tennis balls, ship kits, and a super shell garage.

Several of these toys have appeared on Moonbase Central in the past.
