Haddenham Steam Fair
« on: September 11, 2012, 05:36:24 PM »
Here are some photos from a small local country show - there would have been more but I think a dodgy bacon roll did me in....

Enjoy - and let me have any comments back.

I love that Thornycroft Nippy. I don't think I've seen one before. :thumbsup:

I think it was converted from a Tractor unit into the form in the picture. But some of the truck names are strange - would you buy a Millitant - ask it go get the wrong sort of load and it would go on strike for a couple of weeks!

Thornycroft certainly had some colourful names for their models. I posted a "Daring" as a puzzle recently, and "Boudicea", "Dandy" and "Strenuous" were some of their others. :)

That Pontia Transam look a lot like a Pontiac Trans Am. Is it knock-off of some kind?  ;)
