Default Old Warden
Just home after today' visit.
WOW. A great show. Well laid out, loads to see, plenty of engine movement & and a very good breakfast for a fiver.
The conversion of the tractor to a rolltrac (half roller, half tractor) involving 2 crane engines, 2 lorries, a cast of thousands, and a large sledgehammer, was terrific entertainment as well as being educational. A credit to all involved.
Several people I spoke to expressed the opinion that this show was "better than Dorset". Well done the organisers

Aha 'Tiger Transport' as was. I recall a ride to the works on the back of that.

Is the cab still built to suit a tall American?

Once again, I would like to say Old warden was absolutely fantastic.

It was good to see some "old friends" back on the rally field including Foden D type "Perseverence" and Garrett tractor "Patracia" after its recent boiler troubles.

Well done to all those involved and the "go ahead" beds club for putting on such a great show. It was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into show.

Roll on next year!

Jim S
