I make no apologies for yet another post on model train inspired ideas! One thing I particularly liked, but was never able to afford, was the scenery you can add to a model train set. In fact, I have to say that it interested me as much as did the trains!
Here are a few events for the coming week and weekend. They are not necessarily all 60s related but they are events that I am sure most people interested in the 60s will enjoy.

I have posted a set of photos following my visit to Coventry Transport Museum recently showing 1960s cars, they are well worth a look. The link is here
If you are thinking of going, it is a good museum with quality exhibits and a good collection of static cars to see. Disabled access is quite good, please refer to the website for more information.
So far as we could see, parking facilities are not provided (despite this being a transport museum) and we parked a little distance away at the Belgrave Theatre car park.
If you are involved in education, here is a link to the education page on the website.

The Three Minis Collection
To get the ball rolling with Sixties Britain here is the first post and also a piece of news for model collectors of a new car issue by Corgi.
I just had word of a 3 piece collection that, in its way, typifies the 60s and its cars. It’s three Minis already produced by Corgi, the Speedwell Blue, Radford Wicker and Monte Carlo cars.
These three nice models are 1:76 scale and available at just under £16.00 including delivery. However, it may be they you will find them a little cheaper if you search on the internet.
To have a look at the cars go to this page on the Corgi website:
