Random Monday : Corgi Diecast Catalogues
I enjoy browsing through Corgi’s catalogues of die-cast models particularly the trucks, armoured vehicles, warplanes and cars (in that order). The PDF versions of their downloadable catalogues may be on the low-res side but it’s the only place I get to see British trailer trucks painted in colourful livery of their respective companies – brightly-painted trucks are something that we don’t get to see here in Singapore.

Corgi doesn’t only do diecast vehicles – the 1:32 scale Forward March series includes metal miniature soldiers like this Gurkha (above) in WWI kit wielding the famous kukri.
There’s also some curios in the pages of these catalogues too. A couple of them below.

I remember one of my first exposer to diecast was at my grandma’s house. She had an a few but the one I remember the most was of a Model-T. I wish I still had it. I remember she told me she got it from a back called Land of Lincoln. I’d like to see if I could find an original one from that bank. Any thoughts?
