I've many destination cards from FGW services. One of my friends even has a First Class cup from a FGW service.

Right, lets have a think. Class 31 and 47 drivers manuals, 1950 rule book, modern-ish rule book (can't remember date and can't find it easily, its in a small red folder though), BR working practices for AC electrified lines, similar thing for LU, 2 carriage keys (one i keep with me for getting into lockers on my bus), cab door key, assorted antimacassars (got an IC one on my computer chair), loads of destination and calling point signs from windows, 2 GNER tea spoons, MML sugar packet container, assorted food bags (ones you get things from the buffet in), hundreds of tickets, piece from flapper board showing "birmingham new street" and "dawlish", assorted working timetables (BR and LU), loads of passenger timetables, Great Britain passenger timetable 6th May 1974 to 4th May 1975. Think thats about it, although what with all that and all my bus stuff I tend to loose track of what I've got. Might be getting anither load of stuff at some stage when I get over and raid my Grandparents loft, as my Great Grandad used to be a guard so they inherited a lot of his things, and being the only grandchild who has a vauge interest in railways (other than my cousin who is 3, and will probably grow out of it), they decided it would be only right I inherited it off them, and that as its just cluttering up their loft, I might as well have it now.
