Thank you Richard! I guess it will take some more patience before you can show your additions. This goes for me and others too. I could have presented numerous new additions with their data and documentation too since the problems arose. Let's hope we can enrich the contents of this wonderful DTCA website soon! Kind regards, Jan

Time to get posting these off my 'to-do' list, whether the website is fixed or not ... this is a collage of my acquisitions, or most of them, for 2023.Some 2024 models also arrived this week, but they can wait ...

Wow John. Very impressive. Quite a haul. You actually posted pictures on here and thats been very difficult since the problems arose last year. I like the 972 Coles crane with the black wheels.

The pictures are hosted externally (Dropbox) to make it work.I love the late Coles crane with the black wheels. I overpaid mercilessly for it on an auction site (John Knox was another bidder and Im pretty sure he was the foe who made me pay so much, but I love it they seldom come up for sale).

A little experiment from me too, trying to post a picture with a pre- and post-war no. 47 Road Signs set:

You were on the way, butyou need to use proper IMG SRC tags, not that alternative syntax that some forums use.
Example:

The width part is optional but can prevent an image from being too large. Adding the angle brackets around the above code yields the following:


Those 47 sets are wonderful. As you know, it's hard to find the prewar one without some of the signs having disintegrated from zinc pest.

That's great, Jon, thank you! I may have another try. But let's hope that the regular uploading facility will recover soon! Then I will put some additional information in the correct 47 thread. Kind regards, Jan

I'm glad you were able to figure it out, Johnny but I'll be glad when we can do it in-house. Your 2023 collage is very impressive, by the way.

Yes, I hope we can do it in-house soon. Meantime, thanks for the compliment on the collage. Alas, 2023 was supposed to be a year in which I acquired no more Dinky Toys, since there is no more room to display them. But obviously, the addiction is hard to beat. In fact, six models have arrived for 2024.

Were all addicted and there's no cure!
