BC Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 The Scottish National Tractor show will be held at Lanark on the weekend of 27 / 28 September 2008. There will be a sale on the Saturday and on the Sunday in addition to tractors there will be a vintage commercial and van show too. The bulk of the tractor exhibits are inside the agricultural mart buildings. there is usually a good turnout of traders. I see G&M farm models will be coming along and no doubt the Old 20 parts company and Stephen Moat selling his books and DVDs etc. I need to think about getting accommodation booked as I'm planning going down for the weekend since it will be the last show of the season for me.

James T Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hi Bill - I hope to come along, although I think I'll try for the Saturday this time as things were much quieter on the Sunday last year. We'll arrange a meet up nearer the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Got the vehicle entry forms in yesterday for this one. Can't make up my mind if I'll enter the MG2 or not... I'm certainly not hauling a nash down with me. Never mind got the accomodation booked today so looking forward to the long weekend as I'll have the Monday off too.

BC Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 In fact it should even be a bigger and better show this year since they have introduced a commercial vehicle section too but thats just for the Sunday... heaven knows why not Saturday as well.

robl12 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Bill it is actually one show I am home for, I may try and get down to it but September is a bit in the air at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Bill it is actually one show I am home for, I may try and get down to it but September is a bit in the air at the moment It is really a good show Rob and this will be the fourth year I have been to it if i recall correctly. Mostly indoors so no need to worry about rain.The Saturday auction is outside but it was brilliant weather last year. Graham and Michelle of G&M models will be their as will no doubt Ann and Brian Holmes and possibly Pictoy. There are a lot of good dealers for the vintage tractor boys too including The Old 20 parts company. There is a rather nice cafeteria on site which has good food and is reasonably priced. I thoroughly recommend this show and is on a good location and easy accessible. Oh and usually a good display of people with models and layouts as well. i hope i have been able to get Iain from Lanark ( aka Toolbox Tam ) to take a table and show us some of his creations and modifications in the flesh ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have been reading in a couple of the tractor magazines the Saturday sale is to feature quite a few Marshall tractors and there is one based on the VF crawler which looks like a railway engine. They plan to have it on railway tracks for the sale. Sounds interesting since these are few and far between. Apparantly thy didn't catch on because the "pom pom" bounce caused them to derail from the tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Just read in on of the tractor magazine Nick Battale of the old 20 parts company will be giving a talk and slide / film show on the Saturday evening. Sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Yes it is usually an excellent show JCB Bloke. Are you bringing your Roadless with log grab to display or sell ??? If you are at the G&M stall let them know you are around... I'll probably be dropping in past there throughout the day on Sunday since they are usually just right at the front door as you come in.

Hi. yes we will let the people at the G & M stall know we are there, but the Roadless won't be - it will probably be used in something of mine in the future. Hope we can meet up.

JCB BLOKE Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Went up to Lanark. Excellent show with many excellent stands and displays. Had a good chat to Harold, The Lancashire Lads on Tour and Andrew Anderson with his new display. Also had a nice talk with Michelle and Graham of G & M, and finally nice to meet you Bill (BC). Looking forward to Spalding now next weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
