I gave away a whole box full of Matchbox and other toy vehicles to a friend’s grandson years ago. Kind of wish I’d kept them. I still have a box full of old HO scale slot cars in the attic though - wonder if they are worth anything? I even have some of the old Aurora vibrator slot cars that moved by a plate vibrated by a rod inside a coil which turned the back axle - very slowly and noisily I might add.
Pops has managed to keep NINE moving boxes of 40’s and 50’s Lionel train stuff. The locomotive is one of the rare ones.
