Hey Benny ..... how ever did you get hold of Capt. Nemo's inner sanctuary???

I always thought it was just fiction, but now I see that it is real !!!

Send them to me to keep.........for you of course!  ;)

What a great collection - wow hardly sums it up! I really do love the way you've got them displayed - that's a big part of the enjoyment.
Thanks, it really does make for a nice place to be. It's also my bike shop, and it makes it hard to stay focused sometimes...

Thank you, Nick. My only wish is for enclosed cabs. The shop sees all sorts of work from wood to engines and the roll up doors stay open in summer. Dusting and oiling is never ending and religious or the humidity starts taking a toll.

That's a great collection Allan as you have achieved the goal of having every piece be extra special - there's nothing second rate there! I've always thought you had made excellent choices in your purchases - my obtaining a Cirrus Steam Plant was inspired by yours.

Allen and Helen ... I only wish that any part of my collection could be so nicely displayed, and you most certainly do have a very nice collection to put on display!!!

Ah, your collection is top-notch, Allan...far better than my collection of bents, dents, mismatched mongrels and incomplete non-runners. I'm slowly learning not to buy complete junk.
 Those locos are incredible. Each an absolute work of art.

Thank you Benny,
Your collection is an important part of the past, it's certainly not junk. It's important that people like yourself save these precious toys of yesteryear, kids Christmas and birthday pressies..... :)..Allan.
