There are many other weekend and evening fairs, but it is impossible to find a complete listing in any one place, and impractical in the space we have here.FOR A FULL LISTING OF TOY, TRAIN & STEAM EVENTS the following monthly publications are recommended -

COLLECTORS CHRONICLE - toys, trains, character collectables £1.50
COLLECTORS GAZETTE - diecast & tinplate toys, dolls & bears £1.80
MODEL RAILWAY ENTHUSIAST - for the ready-to-run enthusiast/collector £2.10

STEAM RALLIES are always a popular attraction over the summer months, and for some years the best show diary available has been the "OLD GLORY ANNUAL". However, this year the information will appear in instalments with the regular "Old Glory" magazine from March to May. Now available are the March issue with free listings of events to end of June: April issue with events listings July to December, & May issue with Museums Guide and over £200 worth of really useful admission vouchers. In case of difficulty we can supply all 3 issues for only £6 including post (UK) - saving over £2.

TOY & TRAIN AUCTION DATES - these are auctions where there is usually a good entry of collectable toys and trains. This helpful information is given in good faith but without liability - do remember that sales are sometimes postponed, and that catalogues are often not ready until a few days before the sale. Satisfy yourself that sale contents are of interest before travelling - also check on payment and collection arrangements with the auction house.
