Willie Whizz Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Deepcar is certainly very good, and worth seeing if you haven’t already. The trouble is, being fairly local, over those four decades I must have seen it getting on two dozen times now, and it doesn’t have the underlying “charm factor” that would make me want to see it yet again. Sorry … Edited February 29 by Willie Whizz Bliddy autocarract gets it wring agine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWC1 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Final arrangements underway for the show. I just noticed that my Wouldham's chalk pit is still listed as appearing. Unfortunately, there just wasn't space to fit it in. Instead we have a new, smaller, layout Wits End coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry … So plenty of new entrants to the hobby who haven't seen it then. I think it's only been out a two or three times in the last ten years or so, having been in store in a late member's garage. I believe the old (and occasionally smoking) Kebab van has been presented to his family, hence the new replacement kebab van: 9 hours ago, GWC1 said: Final arrangements underway for the show.

I'm shocked that you've found a smaller layout.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
