BRITAINSMAD Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Took all the Britains out of the storage boxes a couple of days ago and put them on shelves. Looks like I now have a toy shop in my house! There's also a few odds and ends scattered around the floor area there too from other brands. This still isn't all - I need to invest in more shelving Enjoy!

Steve P Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Stunning collection there BM, may i ask how long have you been collecting Britains models, i have been collecting Britains stuff on and off for about 5 years now. What shop in Hereford was that Barry, i remember Chadds had a good collection of Britains stuff many moons ago and there is Hereford model shop who did until a few years ago held a good stock, oh there was a shop called Goldings back in the 70s if i can remember a big fire closed it down around 1983.

Barry Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 It was Goldings, was my place of worship until the fire!!! Then I bought from a little shop in the corner of the Butter Market, glass fronted cabinets with Britains lined up on the shelves, and downstairs in Chadds, happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Fine collection there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Very nice and even more so to have them out on display. For now, my collection is gradually building up but will have to reside in the attic but I hope to have somewhere to display them if not at this house then certainly at out next.

Niels Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 A serious question about your lovely collection. What fun is it to leave them in the box? You like to re create the feeling of a toy shop or doesn't want to get them dusty? I agree they are a lot easier to clean off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
