Here's my last few photographs from Tractor World for this evening, lots more pictures to follow over the next day or so.

 

Conversions all the way here with three wonderful Muir Hill tractors, a 121, 101 and Major based shunter.....

Whilst there were some absolutely fantastic tractors on display in this part of the hall they were very tightly packed together, in fact you were almost tripping over them. It certainly made gaining clear shots of the tractors here all the more challenging.

 

Here's some loader equipped blues followed by a pair of Doe built machines including Bernard Saunders bespoke grader.

Cracking show again this year and it must have set the pattern for the new organisers. I almost prefer the auction line up to all the restored machines on show. Something about seeing old stuff looking immaculate seems odd to me for some reason. Dioramas were of a high standard again this year by the looks of it too. Were there prizes awarded?

Another fascinating tandem tractor on display was Martin Fernihough's Paramount dual tractor kit consisting of a Roadless Super Dexta and Fordson Major at the rear minus it's front wheels and axle.

Followed by some lovely N and E27N variations on display.

Absolutely fantastic weekend Tris. Phenomenal amount of people in attendance particularly on the Saturday. The auction was absolutely ram packed with spectators and bidders, fantastic array of rare and unusual tractors and machinery being offered for sale. Especially some of those Ford and Fordson conversions. Again it was great to see all of those wonderful layouts and dioramas in attendance. I'll be honest i'm not sure whether prizes were awarded or not on this occasion. Hopefully a fellow forum member(s) can let us know. :)
