The theme of transport memorabilia can be extended over a vast array of vehicles. Cars, trains, motorcycles, and airplanes to name a few; all areas of interest can produce very rewarding collections. Your own interest will tend to dictate which areas you specialise in. You may have been interested in cars from particular eras, or maybe you have always had a passion for military vehicles from the Second World War. If you wish to build a collection, hopefully following a few tips from this guide will get you off to a flying start.

What Areas are you Interested In?
What interests you about transport memorabilia? Chances are that your decisions on what to collect will stem from your childhood and influences from your family. Are you obsessed with the subject as a whole, or is a particular type of vehicle that flicks your switch? This guide will concentrate on a few areas of collection, and where you can search to acquire your collectables.

Car and Motorcycle Memorabilia
The subject of car and motorcycle memorabilia can cover a huge number of products. Spare parts, accessories, advertising and literature items can all add up to produce an impressive collection. You may be looking for items to add to a restoration project or to simply display on the wall in your relic filled garage. Spend some time online, researching some of the events that take place throughout the country. Regular classic car and motorcycle shows will not only provide you with excellent ideas and the ability to purchase collectables, but you will also get to meet many other enthusiasts that have the same interests as you. You will find the people you meet along the way will be glad to point you in the right direction, providing advice on items to collect. No matter what items of car memorabilia you are looking to collect, make sure you search the online auction and classified sites. You can sometimes grab a bargain if you are in the right place at the right time. And remember, one mans junk is another mans gold, and something that may be propping open a door in a garage may just be the piece you need to start your collection rolling.

Train Memorabilia
With such a huge following, collecting train memorabilia provides you with a great deal of choice. The fascination of trains, for many people, stems from their childhood, and is a difficult obsession to escape. You may be interested in collecting items from classic trains and the literature that relates to these historic locomotives, or you may decide to recreate your passion in the form of a classic model train set. For many years, it has been possible to create intricate models of urban or rural locations, allowing you to experiment with many types of materials. With many established model companies, you will have lots of products to choose from. You can find these items in hobby or model shops, but if you want find some truly classic examples, be sure to check out the railways collectors' clubs online, and model train exhibitions held throughout the country.

Nautical Memorabilia
Nautical memorabilia is a much more specialised area. If you have been interested in boats, ships, naval vessels or sailing, you may be looking to build a collection covering these areas. Whether you decide to build your collection around a particular time period or type of boat is up to you. If you are looking to amass a valuable collection, then you will probably want to aim for wreck items which will inevitably increase in value over time. You can visit auction houses selling excellent examples, such as trinkets recovered from the Titanic, which hold a certain romantic sentimental value for many people. These auctions are held throughout the year, all across the country. Take a look online to find out if there will be any auctions in your area. However if you do end up at such places, be prepared for some high priced collectables.

Pedal Power Memorabilia
Moving away from the electrical or fuel powered machines, you may be more interested in memorabilia from pedal powered vehicles. When you consider that pushbikes have been around since the early 19th century, then you can imagine the variations available to you. Rather than being a collector, you may be a cycle user yourself. How would you like to own a Penny Farthing from the late 1800's or early 1980's Sinclair C5? Now that would certainly be a trophy to be proud of. Pedal power collectables are even more of a niche market though, so you may need to do more searching than usual. As with all the collectables mentioned, be sure to check out the auction and classified sites online.

The subject of transport collectables can extend way past the groups mentioned above. No matter what forms of transport you are interested in, you will always find interesting and exciting items to collect. As time passes you will begin to amass a vast and personally, if not financially, valuable collection.
