Wanted - Tor Line Model

In the late 60's when I worked for Tor Line we produced a small plastic cased model of our Pax ferries "Tor Anglia"/"Tor Hollandia" - these were given to trailer operators, travel agents, etc.

My model has been lost and I would like to purchase a replacement. Does anyone have one for sale?

I have  over 1,000  b/w negatives of general cargo ships, tankers and bulk carriers etc., under Panama and Liberia flags for exchange. In return I want b/w prints of general cargo ships and tankers from 1940 to the present day.
