My AOTW is an old package of Airport lighted poles by Life-Like... Up until getting these on eBay, I had not remembered ever seeing the package with " They Light Up". Have another pack with the same art.

Here's my AOTW. A Matchbox Lesney Land Rover fire truck. It was my first Matchbox Lesney vehicle.
Here's what it looks like now.

Here's what it looked like when it was brand new.

I had a nice 63 Lark in 1981... Just for a toy, didn't want to drive it often. Had teeth missing from flywheel. Found a parts car and bought a replacement flywheel and installed it...

Life Like switchman shanty.
You can tell that I tried a different approach to my picture taking.
These pictures were taken outdoors on a small table in my back yard during daytime hours.
With the right editing, the scene looks somewhat convincing.
