Yesteryear Collection

This Showman's Engine is a particular favourite of collectors of the "Models of Testeryear' series, and it closely recalls an earlier Showman's Engine modelled in the 1950s.

It is for this reason that it was selected by the Matchbox International Collectors Association as the second Code I model produced to commemorate the founding of the club in 1984.

The Association exists to promote and protect the interests of Matchbox collectors around the world. A full colour magazine is published every two months which contains news of new products, articles on older models and items of interest on all aspects of Matchbox collecting.
