I mentioned earlier in the week, that I'd hoped to combine a visit to Tony Green, with a look in the transport museum next door, but it only opens in Sundays. Well, thanks to my celebrity status, someone arranged for me to have a quick look around anyway. There were some volunteers on site, and as the doors were open, they were happy for me to have a poke around.
It's certainly a tight squeeze! The two large garages are stuffed full of exhibits. Mostly buses, but quite a few earlier cars and bokes too. The most modern I could see were a couple of Rover Maestro's an a Ford Capri. Other than that, it was vintage all the way.
The Chevrolet coach caught my eye, as did the displays of road signs and advertising. From a modelling point of view, a few photos of these printed out, could be ideal for a steam era layout.
A charming, friendly museum, stuffed full of interesting things to see, and with a model shop next door. What could be better?
