So I went up to Charlie's yesterday. I went last year for the first time, will try to attend every year going forward! It's just a great time talking with him and Justin and the other people in attendance. Once again I posted a thread on Red Power for ease of getting all the pictures on there. There was already an Allis collectables thread going but I decided to start a new one because of the volume of pics. Link; https://www.redpowermagazine.com/forums/topic/154142-allis-colectables-v-20/" rel="nofollow - https://www.redpowermagazine.com/forums/topic/154142-allis-colectables-v-20/ Hope everyone enjoys them. There is some seriously cool stuff! |

| Nice post. Great pics. The track conversion on the WD is interesting. Someone asked me about that from a picture I posted some time ago. Wonder how hard it is to find all the pieces? |

Absolutely great, was there 4 years ago, lots of additions since, was thinking of going this year but health prevented it, maybe next year. ------------- 1945 C, 1949 WF and WD, 1981 185, 1982 8030, unknown D14(nonrunner) |

       I'll add a couple of mine Mike. Such a great show by the Widlund family. I snuck Carolyn Lepper and Nick Gubbels into that first photo of Charlie and Arland.

Mike has the show very well covered, but I will throw a few more out.

I got there around 3 o’clock Saturday. As always, had a great time. Miss Mavis and Mr. Charlie have put together one heck of a collection. Every year I go, and every year I see something new. I love to hear the stories of each piece. Thank you to the Widlund’s for sharing a lifetime collection with us. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

One thing Charlie is missing, is a spout that snaps onto a 10 gallon oil can. The top of this can has only a ring for a spout to snap over the top of. Most cans are threaded, but this one is not. He would like to find a spout for it. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

Justin is from time to time, not sure if Charlie checks in or not.
