Quote from: 63cpe on November 30, 2025, 05:46:17 AMSome pics of yesterdays show. We ( TomZ, Hobbes and me) had a great time. Had lots of talks and laughs with lots of people. I observed many people watching our models with serious faces, than frown, than laugh (or at least smile).

Also many people watching our models in disbelief and asking us if this ever happened.

See you next year when you visit ESM 2026!

Good stuff!

I thought I saw a Pond Racer near top right of the photo. Following the link to Flickr, I saw that it surely started as a Pond Racer but there were some major tweaks. Do you happen to have more on it?

Quote from: Hobbes on November 30, 2025, 06:35:27 AMhere's the build thread: Vickers VC-265 Superb

Oh dear, I must have missed that, sorry.

Just noticed how HUGE Tom's locomotive is too!

[Later] I must have seen it before as I commented twice in the thread!

Awesome display, gent's! And well positioned, too!

Also, most happy to read about the interest shown by the punters!

I must have seen it back then - but for some reason didn't make any comments

... the comment about "Pond Racer when it grows up" seems appropriate

NARSES2 · December 01, 2025, 05:47:02 AM

It's all been said, but I'll say it again - ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT DISPLAY GENTLEMEN

Quote from: PR19_Kit on November 30, 2025, 06:11:06 AMChris, can we nominate a whole STAND for a Whiffie please?

There is no reason why you can't nominate it for a Special Award, (Services to Wifferey for example) and the gentlemen concerned can share it.

Excellent display and some great looking models on the tables.

Well done.

Well done spreading the word to the great unwashed.
