My local museum (British Commercial Vehicle) is holding the annual British model makers convention on the 31st… of this month.
Ill be interested to see how much of it is devoted to items from your side of the pond. Ill report on anything of interest.
My main hope is that I can find a manufacturer of 1:24 Leland bus or truck kits.
Great , be looking forward to hearing about it.
Good luck. I have a very hazy recollection of seeing a Leyland bus kit in the distant past, I’m not sure of the scale but it was quite large but there again it may not have been a Leyland. Do you really want to stick to 1/24th as there a several in smaller scales (but mostly white metal etc)
The modellers rally was very well attended with loads of exibitors. The Stars of the show, as far as I was concerned was the 1:24 radio controlled fleet of trucks. Two of the outstanding ones were a Kenilworth pulling a refridgerated unit and a rigid M/Benz with trailer. EVERY single light operated, right down to the warning LEDs on the temperature control panel. What a brilliant sight they made! I have several photos of these trucks if anyone is interested, Having spent ages learning how to get photos into my postings - Im going to post one anyway LOL
Those trucks do sound interesting. Glad to hear it was a good turnout.
