Just some general housekeeping to clean up the pages. Stay tuned for new pics in 2014!!

New pictures have been added to the #318 Euclid Mammoth Articulated Dumper page. It's a monster and weighs a ton!!

New pictures along with a couple of model variations have been added to the #268 AA Land Rover and the #296 Motorway Express Coach pages.

Three types of the 1960 leaflet have been added to the BUDGIE LEAFLETS page. I think that completes the leaflets documented by Robert Newson's book, Budgie Models Including Morestone & Modern Products. (see my Bibliography for more info on Robert's book.)

A few new pictures have been added to the the Budgie Large Scale Models pages including the #288 Albion Bulk Flour Tanker, now with a nice complete box (and notice the difference in wheels between the top and bottom pictures) as well as the #322 Scammell Routeman Pneumajector Transporter, with blue plastic wheels, being a very hard example to find in this condition.

All sorts of new stuff starting with a picture of the original Morestone die cast racer on the Budgie home page. Then check out all the leaflets, except 1960, on the Leaflets page. See pictures of groups of die cast by different categories on the Collection Displays page. And finally the Budgie Large Scale Models pages have been indexed by catalog picture with a drill down into pictures of my collection. That is still a work in process with more pictures to come.

A Foden 3000 gallon Petrol Tanker has been added to the MORESTONE & MODERN PRODUCTS section at about page 11. It's a heavy beast.

A more up to date picture of my display cases full of Budgie Minatures has been added to the COLLECTION DISPLAYS and the 'ESSO' PETROL PUMP SERIES COLLECTION DISPLAY pages. You'll see a nice variety of boxes that are hard to find. Next step are some close up pictures of the individual models.

A nice example of the Wolseley Six-Eighty Police Car, including the wire ariel, has been added to the MORESTONE & MODERN PRODUCTS section. Really cool box art on this one.

APR 1, 2006 [Top]
A nice variation of the Horse Drawn Coach w/Four Horses has been added to the MORESTONE & MODERN PRODUCTS section. A "like-new" version with yellow coach vs. the original orange-yellow version as well as additional horse variations to show all colors have added a few more pages to this section.

MAR 19, 2006 [Top]
Some very early models including a Horse Drawn Stage Coach w/a driver in a top hat and also the odd but classic Horse Drawn Hansom Cab, again with a driver but no top hat have been added to the MORESTONE & MODERN PRODUCTS section. Both include like new boxes to provide very nice display value. But I don't know how anyone ever played with these.

MAR 15, 2006 [Top]
Some great models from the 40s and 50s, the very hard to find smaller Fire Escape, a Horse Drawn Covered Wagon w/Four Horses and another with 6 have been added to the MORESTONE & MODERN PRODUCTS section.

JAN 6, 2006 [Top]
A very nice Foden 14 ton milk delivery wagon has been added to the MORESTONE & MODERN PRODUCTS section.
