Ephemera  

For the collector of all things 'J' type, there is a wealth of stuff out there to be found. Apart from the many models available, we have examples of ‘J’s featuring in jigsaws, postcards, greeting cards,
coasters, and as teapots, money boxes and various other items.

Who would have guessed that Corgi, when they brought out their model of the ‘J’ type in the early ‘90s, would end up doing so many different versions of it. This list shows 32 different liveries ranging from the accurate to the just plain absurd!
