If you have any off-beat yarns that illustrate the stranger, or sillier, side of the business, he'd like to hear from you. As a softhearted old bird, he's also happy to publicise charitable works— and is always interested in events for the vintage vehicles he drove as a fledgling.

to receive this communique from Corgi. It concerns all collectors who have bought a Corgi Annis & Co Diamond '1' ballast trailer and locomotive (no: 31007) The company is not satisfied with the pro duction quality of the locomotive, carried on the trailer, and as a result have decided to replace it free of charge with a new load; an industrial transformer.
Full marks to Corgi for holding their hands up to this one and for doing something about it. I expect for all those collectors out there it will be a big load off their mind (I know, don't give up my day job).
Here's how you can get the generator; you should return your Limited Edition certificate as proof of purchase to Corgi Transformer, Free Offer, PO Box 25, Melton Mowbray, Leicester LE13 1ZG.
