The children of today will not be interested in playing with these as they are not electronic.

Love these pictures. I "sorta" collect the cast iron cars and trucks from a time long gone.

You certainly don't know my grandchildren. They would be all over those cast iron beauties. Nice shoot.

Nice collection! They appear to be in great shape, too. The photos of them were fun to see. Thanks for sharing!

I think you underestimate the children of today. They're very much the same as previous generations!
To be frank those models look like they should be cherished and preserved, rather than played with. They look wonderful.

Nice collection, nice shots, BTW my grandkids still play with wood and plastic cars they have to push, bet kids would still have fun with those, of course they might not look as nice after spending time in a toy box.

Those looks awesome! Take it as a project and restore them, put them on a shelve and show us the before and after! Should be quite awesome to make'em come alive again :)
