19th February 2012 at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre
The International Model Tractor, Plant & Construction Machinery Show will take place on Sunday 19th February 2012 at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre, near Leamington Spa. This is a major new exhibition for all tractor, plant and construction machinery enthusiasts of all ages.
Amongst the fascinating displays will be scratch built, customised and converted models; dioramas; and machinery. Full size tractors will be on display courtesy of the Warwick Tractor & Vintage Machinery Society (WVTMS) who will be bringing several vintage tractors along to the event including an Allis Chalmers from 1940 and a 1953 Ferguson TEF 20. WVTMS’ Chairman, Bob Butlin, recently achieved a highly credible 2nd place for England in the European Vintage Ploughing Finals at Hillsborough, Northern Ireland and is hoping to qualify for next year’s final in Belgium.
A number of key suppliers will be present at the show enabling modellers to view the latest new products, take advantage of special offers and purchase everything they need for their hobby and collections. The exhibition will also present an ideal platform for enthusiasts and modellers to network and share experiences and tips.
