#Spamfest was in full swing from 13-15th of August 2021! If you missed it, not to worry as here are the highlights of no less than 9 of Bulleid's air-smoothed stunners in action on Neville Grove!
So what was #spamfest ??? Well @NEVILLEGROVE , @BlufferstoBuffers and @Flyingscotsdan teamed up with @HornbyModelRailways to host a weekend of Social Media SpamCan goodness. Hundreds of Instagram posts were shared from all over the world featuring original Bulleids Pacifics in N, OO, and O Gauges and at 1:1 scale.
Hornby supported the event by sharing themed posts and offering brand new Un-rebuilt Merchant Navy, 35017 "Belgian Marine" as a giveaway prize. The loco had been treated to Custom Deluxe heavy weathering in the Neville Grove Works and can be seen in this video.
