I used to have Britains toys as well. I had a Unimog breakdown lorry, two

landrover and a potato harvester. I forget what else I had.

Lego was (and still is) of course my favourite toy. As for inspiration • every

for the dual rear tyres as I didn't have enough rubber tyres.

I used to love tractors, not so much now ..  does that make me an
ex-tractor-fan :)
