Looks like the hobby is really thriving in Germany. Interesting that English made Timpo is plentiful in Germany and often at better prices than directly from the UK. Plus, shipping from Germany to CT is quite reasonable. My last order of a Plasty stable and some Elastolin figures from DE was only around $11 and arrived in 8 days. I started collecting Timpo just a few years ago, so it’s still very new and exciting to me. The Timpo wagons and buildings go very well with my old Marx Wild West tin towns and figures. Britains buildings and wagons are also getting to be a major part of my collection. Once I find a Johnny Ringo that I can afford, a gray Alaska Miner Holding a Fur, and a Rifleman cabin with gray HP Porch and Chimney, my Marx collection is pretty well “complete” for what I want, but Timpo and Britains is still very alive. Time for me to move to Europe!!!!
