Jo,

Glad you had a good day at the show,  Now you mention It there did seem to be less stuff around both, I think less models on display.  But it felt very busy and crowded.

What does a Bugler engine look like?  Google has not found one.

 I was forced to take the Thornton's Sticky Wotsits home with me  :shrug:

Jo


What a dreadful bounder I am ... visiting such hardships on a fellow creature.  :-[
I was going to offer up a penance but two hours driving back in all the rain and spray will suffice I think ...  :) Why do some doombrains drive  with no lights and visibility down to 30m.  It's not as if they have do anything more onerous than flick a switch ...  :headscratch:

Nice pics. Andy ...  :ThumbsUp:

Now for some kip ....

Hey Chipswitheverything,
Thanks for all the photos. The bunch seem to be a Sherman tank. But there was that one #170 that was a double overhead cam V8, any more info on that? I have to admit the "Thornton's Sticky Wotsits" really had me till I did a search and found they were Cheetos. :lolb: :ROFL: Wonderful thing the internet, and I didn't have to call my sister in law. :)

A couple of Pics...

I am pleased to announce that Adrian has finally made the Gypsy Major castings available, so one is now in the collection  :mischief:

There was an Otto.. An early full sized steam car engine  :headscratch: some castings  :naughty:

Lots of big gaps where stands should have been  :ShakeHead:

A nice big Clarkson Vertical with reversing gear.

There was also a nice Clarkson compound someone had started.

A Sheldon vertical Compound

and someone had made up an Anzani from some of Mike castings. Mike was pleased to see it there the guy who built it only brought the castings within the last 12 months  8)

A big triple someone had made.

and I still must make myself one of these little oscillators, they are too cute   ;D

I'd forgotten just how huge the Stuart 6A is  :o

I keep looking and wanting a Williamson  :embarassed:

They had a high speed Sirius there.

And their Stuart No 1 with reversing gear one it. Still not sure about the reversing gear  :noidea: And Eric can be seen in the background giving me the evil eye making sure I did not buy anything from Stuarts  :ShakeHead:

And of course there is the X type casting sets but you will have to wait to see those, I have to find them under Graham's special protective coating  :lolb:
