Lots of memories there Steve, I hope you can hold on to them and pass them down to your son. Even if you have to take them of the boards to keep them safe and keep some pics of how they all went there's alot of history there. Cracking models you'll have to see if you can get them steamed up.

Hi Steve,

I agree with Stu, you have a lot of history there to pass on.

Is it worth making some crates/ boxes to hold you displays intact?
That way you dont lose where they were positioned.

Id certainly make a couple of boxes for your models though, they are tidy articals.

Paul

then you could have a shed load of money to buy more engines...
