While the Tri-ang collection is probably as good as it ever will be, I've not got these, and don't suppose they were that common. Young modellers must have a station, but advert boards? A lot less important. Who wouldn't rather have another wagon instead?
Nice to see that Margate and Ramsgate are being promoted at wonderful holiday locations. Presumably, you get there via the Minic motorway, which is a lot quicker than the M25 I have to use when I visit!
Nerdy note: the two purple hoardings have Tri-ang and Made in England moulded in the back. The brown version without adverts, is plain. Was there a reason? The purple match my very first station, so was the brown earlier? There's no information online.
The bookstall, R69, is in really nice condition. I wonder if there was ever an issue with the advert on the front for "Mickey Mouse Weekly"? Maybe Disney didn't see it, or simply didn't care. And why did it replace the earlier "Railway Modeller" advert?
