Will try to get some info and photo's this weekend.

Am extremely stretched at the moment my ex wife's dad died recently and I am helping to clear his yard, a life-times collection of junk wagon, digger and car parts, 4, 40ft wagon bodies, stacked to the roof with stuff, some extremely interesting things and quite a lot of rubbish, all to sort through and re-house at fairly short notice.  Including an historic Leyland lorry and a 1980's Bentley, the latter is attracting little interest, being far too modern.

The boys don't have the experience to spot parts of a set which have become separated and bring the parts together to recreate the set. Like the search for a missing item like a special tripod which should go with the builders dumpy level and staff, which we HAVE found.

Tonight I emptied a draw full of nuts  and bolts, probably in excess of 100Kg in one draw.  It will take me weeks of spare time to separate each thread type, British, unified and metric and by size and integrate them into my stock because nobody else wants them.
