rorsday Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Dear Tractorman810 Glad you recieved your magazine (it was a little earlier than normal because of Easter) and even more pleased that you thought the content was OK. I was very pleased with the way this issue turned out. It could even be our best-ever effort and is certainly the biggest due to a good advertising uptake, both display and classified. Robbo - you're probably right about the number of members of FTF. In my defence this news piece was written back around Xmas time and for reasons of lack of space was held over for a couple of issues.

BC Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Got mine yesterday but only had time to have a quick flick through since I was off to buy some models via another FTF member. Saw the collector with around 3,000 models... that is beginning to scare me ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rorsday Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 BBLQ092 (No.839), I don't think it is shown in the T&M magazine that arrived yesterday, but it is ?3500-ish if you want it. R Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Day Rory I'm maybe getting confused. There was a photo of a prize winner Harold Polton or a surname something like that. I think he was one of the organisers at Penrith and I have seen him at lanark and / or Kittiochside in the past. Is it Harold who is selling it.

rorsday Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Dear BBLQ092 (No.839) The diorama belongs to Harold. There is a picture of him in T&M but I don't think it shows his set-up at the show. Harold is selling his diorama and is looking for around ?3500 I believe. Regards Rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a bad thing flicking through pages and doing a speed read. Never mind the weekend is coming up so should have time to catch up. On forthcoming magazines are you doing an article on the sale that took place at North Berwich on the 14th March? The reason I ask I was speaking to Peter Small at the sale but i wasn't too sure what magazine he was reporting for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Rory just got it there now - another fabulous issue lots to digest and the fleet profile :P -well apart from the MF's :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Dear BBLQ092 (No.839), Yes, Peter Small was doing a report for us....I have the words here. What an amazing sale, wish I had had the opportunity to preview it, not that it would have made a lot of difference because the prices were already sky high. It will be in the next issue.
