Hello Ken
I don't see any model railway stuff? In the UK these Swap Meets are usually dominated by railway and diecast traders and fans. The pictures bring back memories of wishing that the plastic kits were 1/32 scale and not that annoying 1/24 and 1/25 scale. Back in the day there used to be 2 hobby shops in Leith (Edinburgh) which sold Revell, MPC and other North American kits. The larger models meant that my pocket money didn't all get spent in them.
Thankfully Roger Barker has started to sell at a "Toy Fair" near me so I enjoy a morning spent there although Sci-Fi stuff now features heavily also. Searching the general stalls usually finds something cheap and cheerful in 1/32 scale to add to the enjoyment.
