Our members collect a wide range of toys and models. Buses, fire vehicles, military - theme items, like 'Coventry Related' 'Film & TV' etc. They can be mint, boxed, unboxed, scruffy or even played with. It doesn't matter as long as there is enjoyment in collecting them. They can be not only diecast but plastic, white metal, tinplate or even motoring related, anything of interest as long as it is related to transport primarily.
