zenataomm Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 In the 1990s I was given complimentary tickets for The Boat Show at Earls Court, and as I was working for BRB I was eligible for staff railway passes (still am) So a wonderful weekend was spent in London Town. I recall wondering around Earls Court up on one of the balconies (I think) when I suddenly came face to face with a riveted Josher Motor resplendent in red FMC livery. Did I make it up, or did it really happen and what was the reason ..... anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_fincher Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Are you sure you were not taken in by what was actually a Steve Hudson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMModels Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I remember it happening but thought it was the Bham show it appeared at? Maybe both? No idea of the reason. Alan, you know full well joshers dont have the authentic curves of a Steve Hudson fore end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I think it was the Lamprey. Another year the steam powered iceboat Laplander went. If I recall it was organized by the Canal Boatbuilders Association who got lots of publicity and were able to sidestep the difficult decision of which of their members boats to exhibit.

zenataomm Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Now Lamprey has been suggested it rings bells for me as well. I didn't know Laplander had been as well. Thanks Chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
