BC Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Just had a quick look on the website and it looks a good show Paul. Had a wee nosey on the first page of the 2013 gallery and spied the late Fred Dibnah's steam roller Betsy. A real character was Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 My Mum decided it was time to blow the dust off her 1/87th scale display since it's been a couple of years since it's last been out and makes a change from her displays of boxed Britains models and collection of lead farm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
