JCB BLOKE Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 So we went up to the Rheged Centre at Penrith for Harold Powlton's show. It was an excellent show, which seemed to be really well attended. We met a few more of the forum members, it was good to put a few more names to faces. I didn't actually count the displays or trade stands, but there was certainly more of both than last year. So here are pictures of some of the displays and trade stands as promised. First of all its The Lancashire Lads and Lasses on Tour again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCB BLOKE Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Sorry didn't get the name of this displays owner, but I can tell you that it was mainly made up of the old Britains lead figures. This is another of the Lancashire Lads - Andy - with his very busy muckshifting display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB BLOKE Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 This display won 1st prize again, its Martin Littlefriar's 1/16th scale display, which includes an electrically powered working model of a combine. I think the models are scratchbuilt, I will check and modify this later if not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB BLOKE Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Peter Ferguson of Bellshill, North Lanarkshire had a nice display of Caterpillar, Euclid and Terex models on show. Then a big collection of Claas machines put together by Johnny Milburn and S D Frater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB BLOKE Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Sorry but no name for this one but a nice display from a true Caterpillar enthuiast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB BLOKE Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Now its the turn of Mr Sam Ashton from Hornby, who had a fantastic display entitled "Motorway Muckshifting in the 1950's and 60's" He based his collection on machines that he had actually worked with, on road and motorway contruction throughout the 50's and 60's up and down the country. I think this was my favourite display of the day, as it was shown by a very knowledgable and interesting enthusiast, who could actually relate times and dates and roads to individual models!

JCB BLOKE Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Now just in case Marky was feeling a little left out - young Liam Masons' dad Steve brought his collection of Massey Fergusons from Workington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB BLOKE Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Andrew Anderson from somewhere up there in Scotland - sorry Andrew but don't know where - brought his County display down. It was a little different this year as he had a harvesting theme rather than his usual forestry one, as well as his scratchbuilt buildings. Everything on his display has been fettled by him in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB BLOKE Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Mr Purdue himself - looking relaxed before the big Irish show, Amanda was hiding behind the shelves! It was a bit difficult trying to get a good shot of the DBP stand, because as usual it was a bit busy around there. Now David Holden's stand of JCB's.

Bren Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Sorry no name again... His name i think was johny mate (The guy with the two Claas balers in the shed and the Atlas on duals with Vaderstad drill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB BLOKE Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 And last but most certainly not least - we have the main man of the day Harold Powlton's 1/87th scale display. I hope that you all enjoy these pictures, and I apologise if I have got any names wrong. The pictures don't seem to do the show justice, and I was not able to get near enough to the trade stands with the camera because of the crowds, but they were there I promise and doing good trade. Finally congratulations and thank you to Harold for putting on an excellent show, and to everybody who attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwross Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I have also uploaded a few pictures, 6 so far, to photobucket. Mine are not nearly as close up. Never used photobucket before so I guess if you do a search "lakeland model show" you might find them. Judging from last post you can obviously create a link. Will have a go maybe tomorrow night David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
