These FUTURE MEMORY | TOYS & MODELS slideshows are provided as an easy, lighter way of reviewing some contents previously shared on this website and are, in my opinion, better suited to younger viewers. They contain images of toys and models in a private collection and are uploaded for historical research and educational purposes. All product names, logos and brands are property of their respective owners. All company, product and service names seen in these slideshows are for historical identification purposes only.

DEAR READERS Due to unexplained copyright claims in 2022 on background instrumental themes (provided by MICROSOFT PHOTOS) used on some of my educational, non-commercial slideshows, by ORFIUM (HEXACORP LTD) on behalf of ScoreAScore, Danilo Stankovic, Adrev for Rights Holder, Gypsy Swing AllStars, Adrev for a 3rd Party, Darwin Music (Amphibious Zoo), Sam Cardon and Kurt Bestor, I was forced to remake all my content. Thanks to BLOGGER and BENSOUND, it is now possible to bring back to this page some of the original content, along with new slideshows and videos. PS February 2024

MARCH 2024 Dear readers, unfortunately I was not aware of the 100 MB upload limit imposed by BLOGGER for video files. The video scheduled for March 6th exceedeed this limit. The necessary recoding of this and other video files to a lower quality format requires the postponement of scheduled publications for August 2024. PS

On this slideshow, you’ll find among others, images of the first model I bought with my own money and with which I formally started my collection, the Datsun No.1, made by Tomica in the 1970s. Still in my heart after all these years.

Obstacles In editorial terms, 2023 was a year without surprises for the " FUTURE MEMORY | TRANSPORTATION " and " FUTURE MEMORY | TOYS & MODELS " websites. But it is increasingly clear that one life is not enough to share my entire photographic collection. Even so, I have a clear conscience that over the last few years I have tried to share as much as possible – despite almost permanent obstacles, especially on the " FM | T ".
