so not to hijack the tyre thread 

What I'm hoping to do is have a selection of castings for a display, any chance of bringing your figures Andrew? ... Steve, maybe you could bring a Beaver kit and some of your other stuff? Anyone else attending who has been dabbling with casting, please bring something with you, this could be your chance to show your work to the modelling public.

yes i will bring some stuff down, not happy at showing my beaver to all insundry tho

As mentioned in tyre thread I,ll bring some bit,s along I,m playing with as I,m around the TT run. Plus I,ll bring some other tyre type,s around Steve as you might be interested in them Personaly I think they need to be narrowed for older trucks but they are all around the 46-47 mm hight aria with diferent tread type,s most offhighway. But I do have a pair of lowloader type double,s with rubber tyre,s and metal rim,s wich could be use full to us. So it,s all realy down to wether there,s a use by folk,s for them all I can do is bring them along  and find out. As there is not much point in me making a mould unless I realy want them. But the size may be perfect for a tanker midlift wheel with the center rim altered so the option for that,s there too.

OK Folks, just to remind you that we have table space at this show and If you're in the area, please consider bringing something for the table. The 1:1 stuff is arriving further down the road for the Tees run, so even more reason to pop over to the venue and say hello!

Steve, can you tie a knot in something and remember my rear air cylinders for the Beaver plaease?

There,s some cracking old HGV,s and the like get there so there is all the more reason to have a pop down 99% of the turnout at the Tyne Tees run is 50,s-60,s era upto the early 80,s just to give a idea of what will be there. Plus there will be a small marque with some models on display. Me, Alan, Hopfully Andy Bell and some of the lad,s from Durham model club will be there. I just hope the weather will be the same as now  sun cracking the deck and all. Hope to meet some new and old freind,s alike. Tony.

I'm hoping to be in the area the night before, but failing that I'll be travelling up on the day. If so, I won't be there until about 0900, so any time after that will be fine.
