Just a few picks from the Gala a great day lots of people cam despite the poor weather.

For me this was the most interesting exhibit an Avling and Porter Roller, the model is based on a 1936 roller that they built using spare parts left over from when they stopped making steamers they replaced the boiler with a single cylinder desile engine the model is fitted with a single cylinder petrol engine based on a hit and miss design.



The level of detail in the model was astounding,

This is the oil lamp its just over 1" long



and yes the light is works.
