sorry havet been on to reply to this , yes we listed one of each models on ebay prior to the show to give anyone not able to makle the show the chance to purchase a show model , was a sucessful show and roll on next year dates will be announced soon

well thats me booked the ferry looks like the mad scots are heading over for the 2022 show roll on october

goodevening Callum i travel to zwolle via the newcastle to amsterdam ferry , its an overnight crossing leave at 5pm and arrive the otherside at 0900 ish . and 530pm leaving holland , i make a holiday of it ans spend a few nighrs in Zwolle its great to catch up with many like minded collectors at the show and in the gotel after the show once at amsterdam its abouyt an hour and a half drive to Zwolle, i used to drive down to dover and across and drive the five hours at the otherside but worked out the more expensive ferry from newcastle actually worked out a lot cheaper in the long run than the long trip to dover

looking forward to getting to holland again great place and great people

Smithy we will see you in Zwolle 2020 by the time you get that lot sorted out , good Haul tho

great collection of Weiss models there Barry keep them coming

yes I believe this is the same guy

excellent additions Hajo keep them coming

a nice addition Paul and I sense your 218 year is going to be more expensive than mine

yes Paul you are spot on they are martins agri trailers ( martin Thomson) that built them great quality and detail and now glad to have them in my collection as we had a and 8 and 10 ton on the farm also had 2 x 10 ton dumpers which I'm still trying to locate pictures / brochure of to get models made , Thanks to Chris for the photographs as this made the models possible

i have my eye on transit connects for somewhere in the future so would be fine the bigger point Robbo is if I went to 1/16 where would dad go

paul ive just had a chance to have a search through your collection must say impressive as I don't like 1/16 as you know but this would make me want to start collecting them ( run wallet run whilst you still have the chance )

glad you finally got one Paul and was not a problem

Thanks Paul great additions to the brochures Smithy Paul I still collect as well currently have over 5000 brochures now but opted not to upload every brochure I have as not wanting to corrupt the forum , i.e. came home from Lamma with 370 new brochures which are now all filed and logged in the collection

Chris I can just picture it now you in the Rolly trailer attatched to the back of that getting a hurl ,,.... big kids and all that ha ha!

great additions David just not sure about the models in the group picture that looks like bottles ha ha!
