yes bill that was the buisiest balado steam event for me in the last ten years, i was the same i saw you and joe walk past and the next time i looked up it was quarter past four, that mf 690 sat their all day on the sat as well

hi andrew im not sure if im at fife yet but will let you know, a bit all over the place this year, and as bill says if im on the ice cream introduce yourself mention the ftf and ill manage a discount 4 you

very tidy excellent model, i remember when we added one to our fleet of 2 3140`s nd 2140, it was easy to identify at the other side of a field due to the black nose decal, good to see the hard work and effort to make your model

yes have to say it was one of the better shows at balado, the weather was excellent and got the attendance up on previous years, mind you not that i saw much after 11am apart for the inside of the freezer, was good to see you bill now that i realise catkom3 was the gent with that wonderful tracked mf (that sounds worrying comeing from a john deere man) wish i had had a chance to say hello, but we will meet one day, and missed andrew as well, lets hope we have similar weather next year and the show can go from strength to strength.

it was good to meet you bor, and with the excellent quality of your scratchbuilds i garuntee that we will meet again in the future, keep up the good work

just in the door after such an enjoyable trip to moira, couldnt beleive the quality and hard work put in to all the diarammas on display, and im glad i managed to get across to see the show rather than just look at pictures and read reports in the magazines will attemp to get the pictures i took up when i figure out how to work this computer

a bit late with the list` and i went a bit over the top for my first visit to spalding 8295R show model 8345R , 8020 prestige joskin vacu tanker joskin multi thing for the tanker pdc 6420s and 2 sets of weights 8330 tracked conversion and blue subsoiler (and forgot to get the name of the stand) and several different variasions of the uh valtra t model farmer hard copy (cant wait til this is a permanent feature and had to drag myself away before i bought several of the 40/50 series conversions thought i better leave something for october
