  1. These are wonderful. I especially like “The Hornby book of trains”, which i misread at first as “The Horny book of trains”, which gave me a great laugh. Anyway, i will miss seeing these posts, but i will come back to wordypress again at some stage and catch up with all that i’ve missed. I’m “freezing” my blog for a bit by marking it as ‘private’. This will enable me to find everyone again when i get back! Thanks for posting cool stuff and being nice. Happy vintage toy advertising to you, and all the best for now. Tata! ☮️

    • Lol. Now you just made me laugh! You know, ‘The Horny book of Trains’ might be an X-rated version of Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends for all we know!!! Thanks for stopping by as always 🙂 And I look forward to catching up with you again when you come back to wordpressy!
