Following a chance remark that I made at the museum regarding the perilously small ammount of shelf space that remained at home for my model trucks, I was delighted when I was offered display space in the entrance hall/shop area of the museum. I think that I may be able to get 10 to 15 trucks and trailers into the space allotted.
I am doubly pleased with this outcome because it has solved a problem that has been worrying me for some time. What was going to happen to them when I `shovel off this mortal coil`? I did not want to sell them, yet couldn`t think of what to do with them. I was therefore only too happy to donate them (rather than lend) and I have to admit that it gives me a very pleasant feeling knowing that somebody (long after I have gone) may say, `That looks nice`.
