The other more modern side of my USA collecting interests comes in the shape of US Transportation coils... if you're a USA coil collector you'll know by now that this is similar to the British Machin simply by the sheer size of the three issues and subsequent plate number strips of 3 or 5 there followed isses stretching from 1981 to 1998 a series that would turn out to be a substantial collection in it's own right ... so here below is a sample of what is availiable out there Enjoy !! oh by the way get yer self a coffee you could be here a while.
