Ok, following on from my other thread with my flatbases I thought I would show you all my mobiles, which I've not added to for some time now.

It will be too hard to list them all, so i'll just stick up the pictures of them I didn't include the loco's as I don't really class them as part of the mobiles, and I've done them all before anyway .

I've had a lot of these, countless '72 TE1a's, about another 6-7 SR1a's, another 4 roadsters, another FE1 you get the point, all of which I sold to cover costs for other models, and my car at the time



The whole crew



First half closer



Second half of them all closer up



My three rollers, closest is quite a rare variation, the first short handled reversing SR1a along with a couple of SR1's from around 65



Close up of the SR1a



Close up of my best SR1



Rear of my best SR1, single handled bent (one for Griff)



A couple of Roadsters (early type) I did have another 2 of the later wheeled version but sold 'em



Nice close up picture of the decal for Mike



My TE's!



A late-ish TE1a just before the sight glass as the picture below shows



In preparation for the sight glass



One of my favourites, the brass roadster, just over 1000 made along with the FE1



Brass SA1



The FE1 is a nice little model, or big



The daddy! DV1, this is one of Mamods best modern models



The SA1L Limo, yes the roof is metal



Mamods best mobile IMO! the SW1 a couple of Greeny's and a bluey on show there



My green SW1, minter



This is the blue SW1, strangely with the rarer white writing on the sides!


Well what is on the wish list here then?

Nut and Bolt TE1 definatly! I sold my last to Manxman
Nut and Bolt SR1, that shouldn't be too hard

The later SA1 with the sightglass and different wheels

Maybe a few more variations of SR1a and TE1a, but i'm happy with all I have . Maybe even a bus

MM

Great mobiles. Let me know if you ever want to sell the DV1!

I liked the fire engines until I read they don't squirt water. When are you going to do the Loco photoshoot?

Doubt i'll ever sell the DV1 it really is a great and underated model!

If the fire engine was to squirt water then it would cost around another 100 pounds more

Will do the loco shoot tonight

Well MM what can I say. A great set of models. I love them all. Now about your blue Steam Wagon. I'm sure it would look better in my collection, and you do need money to replace what was spent on the SE4......
Lots of fun. You can't beat a good mobile.

Nice collection

Cheers Manxman!

The blue wagon is one of my favourite. I keep all my little special items in the back of it, my James Bond cars, a couple of holiday snaps, postcards

I've already sold a RS2 railway set and a couple of SR1's. There may be a couple of other departures but this one is happy at it's home, would look great amounsgt your army though Manx

I'd be ok with a lighter near the solid fuel, they never light anyway
