Who are we?

We started off as T and C models with Terry Barnes and Chris Barnes, as a Father and Son team, working throughout the South East of the U.K. back in the 1990s and 2000s. After the passing of Terry, Chris took over the reigns and by using his extensive experience and knowledge he has developed the business into the online success it is today.

Since moving online with our Ebay shop in 2016, we have bought and sold thousands of models and continued to enjoy sourcing, collecting and selling diecast and other toys. We have seen the collector scene develop, from highly prized pre-war Dinky Toys which were the focus of many an 90s collection, to the much broader global marketplace of today. 

As the market has changed so have we and now we offer a broad spectrum of collectors and enthusiast pieces with the same ethos we have always had: if we like it someone else will as well! 

Please take a browse and see what you can find. We are always updating so come back and have a browse around. We aim to please and if we can help in any way please get in touch. 

We have many contacts in the collecting scene, as well as growing audience on a variety of social media platforms, so if there is something you are looking for we might be able to help. We also buy collections throughout the U.K. and we ship globally with existing clients in Australia, the U.S.A and Europe. We always do our best to globally ship in the most cost efficient way and we always combine postage so if you purchase more than one model you will only ever pay what the Royal Mail charges us.
