I hope you are NOT going to sell your find. I think it is great when
friends donate unwanted toys to their fanatical friends.

Hi All,

I finally talked a good friend out of his childhood lego collection as
most of hadn't seen the light of day for over twenty years. He got most
of it when he was 8 and he's now 41 and still single so no kids to keep
it for.

I always new he had some special lego hidden away going by the one set
he has always had on the shelf above the frig.

Would you believe a complete 343 train ferry!!!

Today he brought me in some of the instructions and catalogs he had
kept.

Most of them were printed in England and don't appear to have dates on
them.

They were:

Sets 319, 330, 332, 343 and Idea Book No.3

Also a 6"x6" catalog which advertises such "new" sets as 810 Complete
Town Plan for 8 pound 4 shillings 11 pence and train sets and
accessories numbers 100-113, 115, 150-153.

An older catalog which lists sets 700/0 thru 700/5 etc.

Plus 5 of the same inbox mini catalog which shows spares sets 400, 401,
402 and 314 on one side and building ideas for the latest piece in the
lego range, the round turntable.

My friend is bringing the ferry and a box full of pieces in tomorrow and
I can't wait to see what is in the box.
