Quote from: port perran on Yesterday at 08:41:58 PMVery interesting although I'd question whether some of those original artists should actually be classified as "Prog Rock".
For example - Moody Blues, Osibisa, Incredible String Band and Supertramp even though I do like all of those.

I agree with Martin. It's a rich source they've tapped into and I've no idea how they'll cram it all in. I just hope the whole shebang gets televised

I'll be interested to hear how you get on with coupling 7 cars together and get them on the track. I have enough trouble with just 4 cars.

Is it really about 53 years ago that I saw Focus live? 
It's amazing how time flies past.

They were a bit of a revelation back in the early 70s as I remember.

I seem to have been focussing on Focus today, includng one of my favourites - a rather understated piece compared to the likes of 'Hocus Pocus'

I'm also tempted by these as they look lovely models. Though trying to justify a maroon set in early 60s Cornwall is a bit of a stretch...

I am sure I heard about a vintage car rally in the Duchy around that time.

I think it was Dave Jones's first Dapol Open Day. They launched the 9F hauling new Dogfish and the Hymek, and then had a special launch of the Magnificent 7.

I could put dates to it using Ramseys book. From memory, 2008?
