Just hopefully arranged to borrow some working 1/24th scratchbuilt fairground rides to display sometime this year. When I get the models, i'll post some pictures.

No, but lots of flashing lights. I think there's a carousel, flying chairs, cake walk and a organ.

Managed to get some of the models this weekend. Now I know there not built from plastic, but I thought you might like to see them. Organ. Shamrock. Flying chairs. and Cake walk with roof removed. There's a Galloper and a couple of Walzters. Hoping to take them to Peterbough Truckfest, and Gaydon.

Seem's like the flying chairs and cake walk are 1/24th and the organ trailer is 1/16th. The plans are from Doug Roseaman Engineering

If you're interested in seeing more model fairground rides, there will be small model show accompanying Rowell Fair in Northants on May 18th. I think these models 'travel' around similar events. See rowellfairrothwell.org/index.html for more information about the event The model show is held in Tresham Hall, Rothwell, A14 J3 (A6) J4 (B576). Rich

Well, I've put my name down on the "please invite me next year" list and they said they'll be getting in touch about January, so there's something to look forward to. I would imagine that it wouldn't be out of the question having a combined Truck & Car & Motorcyce SIGS display if you're up to it (eh Lonewolf?)
