Welcome to our April Blog 2025

All the fun of the fair

Our Collectors Toy & Train Fair on Sunday 23rd March saw a combination of good weather, a great selection of merchandise, plenty of bargains and lots of happy customers. As  organisers, we were delighted to see so many people attend our event.  At £1 admission for adults ( accompanied children free )  it has to be one of the best value toy fairs in the Uk.  Thanks to everyone that came along and a special thank you to everyone that helped us advertise our event.

Who's that then

In last months blog I mentioned the fact that currently new diecast manufacturers are popping up all the time.  On compiling this months Vectis auctions highlights I was amazed how many makers of old models I had not heard of. Gamda, JRD and CIJ for example. See them on our Auction page.
