Amsterdam

A few images from a vsit to Amsterdam this summer.

Manston car event

Classics at the Museum was held at Manston tonight. A large gathering of cars on the taxi way area of Manston airfield with some live music, merchandise and fast food and it was a pretty impressive turn out after the event had to be called off last month due to a water logged pitch. I took one of my Capris along to join the cars on display. There were too many cars to get shots of them all so I concentrated on some old Fords. And a few non Fords

The Wonder Works

The Wonder Works is a new name for what was the Hornby Visitor centre which celebrates well known brands such as Hornby, Airfix, Humbrol, Scalextric, Corgi etc. Associated with the centre is the One:One Collection, a collection of historic locos and rolling stock many of which are owned by other collections, museums and heritage lines. The collection is therefore a fluid collection with artefacts often in storage due to lack of space elsewhere or awaiting a return to operational status at some point. Today there was an open day at the Wonder Works which included access to the generally closed One:One collection which also includes some fabulous scale locos, a couple of buses and even a T55 tank. Here is some of what I saw.
