I went along to the Black Country Living Museum today as part of the Rickman Cars Owners Club display and had a very enjoyable day. The first cars to catch my eye were the Swallow Doretti although one owner said his wasn't a real one.     There was the our little group of Rickmans tucked up behind the mine building next to the fairly busy tram track. Mine looking particularly stupid from this angle.  A small display of Jensen's but what they lacked in numbers they made up with in style.  |

These are Stars. Yep, me neither. Who knew?   In between them was a rather nice Armstrong Siddley Light 17.  Two rather posh looking Clyno Royal Tourers.  A very tasty little Turner.  There were also a few trucks knocking about like this Guy Pantechnicon outside the bus station.  There's also a little garage/museum with some interesting stuff in like this fire truck which I'm sure I had a Matchbox model of as a kid.  In the service/repair area was this cute little Frisky.  |

Briton. No idea.  In a glass case was a Sunbeam engine as used in the land speed breaking Sunbeams and also some aircraft I think.  I'm not sure exactly what this little beauty was hiding in the corner but probably a 1950's special of sort sort.  This Model T van was rare as it didn't have a blown hemi or a Jag rear end, most unusual.  A little AJS tourer. I thought they only built bikes.  Another unknown but looks like a bike engined racer.  I would quite happily drive/ride a van like this for work.  |

Spookily quiet Trolleybus.  I thought I had more but it doesn't look like it so I'll end there. It was a bostin' day out and if you're in the area I would highly recommend it for a day out. |

According to my dad, Glasgow trolley buses were known as the "Whispering Death" because you couldn't hear them coming! |
