Hi Huw, Thank you for sharing your story and photographs. They are quite interesting. I doubt that you checked castle sets much, but I have a few small questions.

I never knew this vault existed. Wow. That is the coolest room ever. I assume most, if not all, of those sets are unopened. Seeing that stack of monorail sets made me envious . . . . (21 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.general)
