My New Toy; Literally

Here's a few of mine. We have a VW themed powder room where they live. Still have 3 large boxes of VW toys I have not unpacked since I last moved 10 years ago. THis thread makes me want to unpack them.

Wow, I have hundreds of VW toys most still in boxes but been looking for Vanagons and have never seen one till now. I already showed the website to the girl for gift ideas.

Heres a very few of mine

These were brought back from Germany, I gave a friend some money who was going on a trip there.

The model railroad pieces are great. Here's a place in Germany that supposedly is the biggest layout in the world;

Since your mileage is obviously very low, you probably won't have to worry about VANAGON SYNDROME. I think you might, however, be able to get a model Subaru engine to swap in if I am wrong on that.

Make sure to replace the 3/4 gear slider before you blow that tranny. It's even more important in a plastic gearbox - - a known failure point.

To the original poster: That's a good friend you have there! Smile

This barely scratches the surface of the crap I have. Smile

I am more partial to this beauty- http://www.germanaircooled.com/cart/index.php?page...4064edce49
I have a bunch of early busses and type 3 models but no vanagon body models yet.
These tiny models could be found in places that are into scale model train props.
