Sandown Toy Fair - Bargains to be had



On Saturday I dropped in to see my folks in Cobham and my old ,man mentioned he was going for a wander around the Toy Fair up at Sandown Park - thinking this might be interesting I duly followed him to the racecourse.

The exhibition was enormous - must have been 400 trade stands all selling old toys - meccano, dinky, Hornby, corgi,  scalextric etc

Some of the stuff was on display for crazy prices and made me wish I'd kept all my old toys.


£2 Signal box - plastic


£1 Signal



£3.50 Bentley Sports Car



£1.50 Hornby Metal Train Crossing

This Level crossing will appear shortly in my next train posting


Bargain of the day - £1 each

Ill keep an eye out for the toy fairs in future as they appear to be fertile hunting grounds

  1. Those are good finds! I can also recommend Antique Markets/stalls as a good source of Lledo vehicles and the like, often for £1 each too.

  2. Good finds; I always pop round to my local Toy&train fair - usually something worth having (sometimes wargames figures as well)
