A Challenging Lot of Stuff

angus · A Challenging Lot of Stuff

This is started off as an update of an earlier post in which I asked advice about track on which to display my O gauge brass model of a Northern Pacific Challenger.

I hope to make a detailed reply to that later, but thought this rather packed general shot might be of interest (if a bit fuzzy). That's the brass Challenger on the top shelf. It's a monster, quite a bit larger the the G scale Aster Schools Class below.

There's a bunch of rockets on the lower left. The center vertical one is a genuine Masuya from the 1960s. On the left is a Hungarian knock-off from the 1980s and on the right, a contemporary Chinese copy.

Below in the center is a 1950s "Space Rocket Ship" from the Automatic Toy Company of Staten Island, New York. On the left and right are a couple of identical Japanese rockets from the 1960s. One of these I got complete in very dusty box from a store in Boynton beach, Florida, for the price marked ($1.69).

On the top right showing Lloyd George (with Churchill, Balfour and others at the top left) is an enamel advertisement for the Passing Show, a UK magazine popular in the 1920s. This was a real steal. I got it on Craig's List as a "a picture of Einstein" for $30.

Below on the right, is one of my many Bing-Wolf kettles.

Under the chair I just noticed my Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner, which again needs a new battery. I think I've had enough of it and should just salvage the power supply and other parts and use the space for some more stuff

Interesting things and they certainly add to the expecrience of a homy home
