Linemar 'Elegant Miniatures' Diecast Moon Buggy

I picked this up last year not really knowing what to expect and was a bit surprised when seeing just how small this was. I wasn't familiar with Linemar's 'Elegant Miniatures' line but after a little digging around, it appears to be their answer to Matchbox's small line of vehicles. Apparently Linemar's 'Elegant Miniature's' never really got a good foothold on the market and there doesn't appear to be many toys offered.  As you can see it was quite a small vehicle - about a third the size of Tri-ang's HO scale  vehicle shown below.  It measures: 1.625" (4.12cm) L x .75" (1.9cm) W x 1.25" (3.17cm). be Blessed and relish Life!

TRAIN TIME: M&Ms Train 2014 - Pt 3 - The Tender/Caboose/Coach (Whatever It Is)!

After taking a good look at this thing, it has the appearance of being a passenger coach (possibly an observation car). OR maybe a caboose. OR maybe an odd tender to place behind the engine. Oh hell, I'm overthinking it, it's just an M&M toy. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

Linda Apollo Spacers Space Command Ship

I s'pose I'll never be through looking for small toys in the vein of Tri-ang, Golden Astronaut, LP and the like. They fascinate me and they are a challenge to collect. This Linda Apollo Spacers Space Command Ship joined the collection back in 2023 but I never got around to posting it. It is a knock-off of Tri-ang's Space Command Ship with some minor differences. The color is of course different and the rockets do not actually fire but rather retract into the nacelles when the lever is pulled backwards. My sample is missing the wheels but that's no biggie as spares from the parts box ought to fix that. For more information on Linda Apollo Spacers see Paul Vreede's excellent Spacex website.

BREWERIANA: Berg Bräu .5l Bier Krug / Beer Stein

How cool is this: a beer named after me? 😁 I have to admit that this is one of my cooler pieces, I mean, what's the chance of coming across a stein with your name on it! My notes say there were no maker's marks on the piece which is apparently why I didn't take a photo of the bottom. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

I like the terrain base on this guy: standing on a small mound of sand with some rocks jutting out and a pile sandbags to steady his leg on. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
