I loved the little railway buffet the couple developed following the sale of some of their other collectables - 'petroliana' - some staggering amounts of money changing hands for old AA signs, petrol pump globes etc. I could be a real party pooper and suggest some of these collectors have more money than sense, but at least it creates 'living museums' for sad people like me who like to drool over such memorabilia!
