A heart-warming moment of generosity stole the spotlight at the Spalding Model Tractor Show. A diorama featuring our special pink trailer produced by Three Oaks Models was auctioned off for charity, raising an impressive £1,810 for Breast Cancer Now.
In a touching twist, the winning bidder, Peter Roddy from County Down, kindly donated the diorama back immediately after winning. The model will be now be auctioned again, the hope being that even more funds can be raised for the cause.
Adding to the event’s impact was the presence of the real pink trailer. Generously brought down from North Yorkshire by the Waudby family, the TB15 looked in tip-top condition. The trailer is used predominantly for hauling wheat and silage on the family’s farm and contracting on behalf of other local farms.
The auction not only highlighted the vibrant model building and collecting community, but also showed how shared passions can fuel meaningful change. With more funds yet to be raised thanks to Peter’s gesture, the trailer’s journey of giving is far from over.
