Greetings chaps One must agree that Cherry Hill has a rare and gifted talent, I don't wish to sound of sour grapes or bad cheese but do any of her models work, what a pity we never see any of them run. There were a number of years ago a trio of engineers called 'kendle, Gent and Taper' they made fine sclae museum pieces of which every part fullfilled its function. I would also point out the work of Barrington Hares who's pieces actually run and run very well. I wonder if there ought to be separate sections within the competition classes for pieces divided into working / running projects and glass case exhibits / models.........just a thought and no I am not decrying any of Mrs Hill's efforts.

I didn't mean for this to imply that Cherry Hill's models won only on their uniqueness, . . . . unfortunately for other entrants, they win out by superior workmanship also.
