Tractor heaven at the Kenilworth show

Off to the Kenilworth agricultural show last Sunday Oh Arrr.

While sensible people were browsing the country crafts and tat sales stands, I headed over to the classic farm machinery section where there was a foyne display of old tractors as well as their more modern (and massive) cousins in use today.

Being nerdy, I quickly collected photos of old farm equipment plus lots of shots showing wear and tear (what the antique trade calls "patina") on the engine parts as a guide to painting.

Besides farm impelments, there was also plenty of classic cars.

Again, very nice, even if some idiot had parked a modern BMW in the middle which I've had to clean out of the photos.

Trainwise, were limited to this:

and the best collection of Big-Big trains I've seen for a while, with added religious messages.

Anyway, more pictures over on Flickr. Includes cow tickling!
