One of our favorite attendees at our annual W. Springfield gatherings is Bill Badger from Vermont. Bill “Americanized” an English prototype Bedford ML truck by moving the steering wheel to the left side and adding a rearview mirror. The model kit was produced by Cooper Craft. Bill says he can’t remember if the fuel tank came with it or was something he found in the parts box. The flatbed was knocked together from basswood and nut/bolt castings. The farm tractor is a Jordan Highway Miniatures Fordson. On display at the 2014 East Coast Meet in W. Springfield, MA.
