That was a hell of a pictorial write up Mark. It always difficult to compare one show to another but it looked to me like there was a lot more discontinued models there than last time. ..  A lotof very nice boxed examples too, especially that Autoway stuff on Andy's/Dad's stand.

My shopping list has been significantly altered since last week now too thanks to your pics... ::)

Nice to see George Pooles stand jam packed with buildings, I love those square grain bins and as for the granary style building with the brick floor. ..well mine just as well stay at home for Toytrac now!  :-[ :'( Always nice to look at Cefywn Deavies builds as well, his stand mesmorises me. It doesn't all appeal to me but just to recognise a mans work is a good enough treat. Nigel's SD models all look like they are at Smithfield back in their day on his stand too, lovely machines. .. One day. . . when I have mastered building with metal. ...

As for the Classic Combines stuff. . . what did that engine sound like? Did he bench test it for you Mark?!!

Good to see, what three  ??? european traders there. .. one of which I should contact really but I know the price of what I want will see me part exchanging my wedding tackle  :D :D :D :D

No displays apart from FTF then  :-\

No.. very lacking in the display market Tris... we need some of you lads up here next time I think.. would be a real treat as well... judging by the attention the FTF display had..

As for the Perkins A6.354... half throttle as it was on his bench  :D :D - it would never surprise me to hear it run as it happens... it was superb  :o
