Mike you have some of the best cardboard I have ever seen! They are simply fantastic. The engines aint too bad either!!!

I love the prewar SE3 plywood one! In terms of design the Burnac label is unbeatable, it so of the period. I might try and get into repro box labels . . .  when i dont know but I fancy it!

Thx Mike  Very Happy
I know its a sad thing to say, but the packaging is just as important to me as the engine itself

Super collectin Mike.  It is interesting how well the packaging reflects the period when the engines were made.
