Howard_S Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Due to the weather I haven't made it, did anyone else make it? TIA H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I am about to leave for Shepton now. Snow plough went down half an hour ago and the road is now running water so I am going to see what the conditions are like. Heading for Stonehenge and if the road is clear I will go all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Sorry Howard, but I went for the toy fair to meet up with Mandy (Lady Ferguson) and did not go in to the tractor show. Somerset is clear of snow by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 And was the toy fair good Sue...home with any bargains or good finds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I actually did not buy anything! My friend (who is not a collector of toys) DID make a purchase. There were a few traders missing but the road conditions all around Somerset are not good but there seemed to be plenty of people about.

david_scrivener Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I just went to the toy fair, and bought some useful plastic figures from Adrian Little (who doesn't usually bring much plastic to the fairs): F.G.Taylor bull, harness horse, lying cow and Shetland Pony, plus 4 Britains plastic hen based on lead mould (Orpington type, for those who know their hen breeds) and 1 black plastic pig from the lead mould. I already have several, but this one was a late version with 'England' underneath, which I didn't have before. From another dealer I bought a plastic Crescent farmer with shotgun, in excellent condition with nearly complete paint (paint has flaked off decades ago on most Crescent figures). Got some other stuff as well, but the rest wasn't farm. Perhaps nicest, and only £5, was a lead Heyde parrot in large scale, one of their nick-nack, ornament range. Got a couple of their large scale dogs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a lead *** Cottage, a lead Pixyland-Kew fox and some plastics (also from Adrian), including a black Britains scratching foal for the collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Lovely selection of photographs from the show Mark, one or two tractors I recognise from events i've attended.
