Guess what I just found on ebay?
I can't put up a link to this, 'cos it seems that I've just bought the last one. However, the same guy has lots of other 00 and N scale fairground card kits for sale. There's even a simplified steam yachts ride. The BUILT ones are a little expensive, but the kits are reasonably priced. Could be worth asking if he'll sell downloads.?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?it...odelkits&rt=nc I don't recognise any of them as pirated kits, but you never know. The seller is listed as 'Johnsmodelkits', but it ain't me!

That's quite a collection of "attractions".
I'm one of those who gets one, then have to get the series. About 50 kits average price about £10. I had better not start ! Still no Showmans engine. Cheers Mike |

I've seen a few traction engines around Mike, but mostly farm ploughing or thresher drivers. I've not yet seen a proper Showman's engine in paper.
Back in the day, I remember one like this arriving at Raphel's Park, Romford. It was fully illuminated and had hauled a train of seven fairground trailers all the way from Southend. I think these road trains finally got banned in the early 60s, but what a show they put on, eh?
