pugwash Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Nice job, brings back memories. Just as I first saw it as a 10 year old in 1960. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Thats really fantastic. Love his speedway bike too. Pity all he has got is the Gents sign, but he has all those memories which are priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugwash Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Was the iconic ref's box demolished? Shame if it was as it would have made a terrific garden shed/workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ommer Mon Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Absolutely brilliant. Best race track ever and glad to see the new place is capturing some of the thriils from Hyde Road. I think I may start work on an equivilent of Dudley Wood - shouldn't take too long we had no stands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepturningleft Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 A fantastic piece of work. It would be ideal to see it on display at the National Speedway Stadium. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresham Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I'd love to see how the tapes work...intrigued. Plus it would look nice with some of those Britains Bikes and riders. Some of those bikes would look great lined up in the pits or for parade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmauger Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 As an ex-modeller, but current track anorak, I can appreciate the effort that went into his brilliant model. Great work. Think the Britains model bikes and riders are the wrong scale for this model and would be too big., a centre piece might work though...

Trevor Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I wonder if it would be possible to bring it down to the NSS, one night, to let the fans see and take pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
