Pat Thurston Jnr, Dodgems
Cambridge, 30 June 2009
In 2009 the Thurston name could be seen on two dodgem tracks at Cambridge but both have since stopped attending, their places being taken by other families' tracks. Pat Thurston Jnr, from the East Anglian branch of the family, owns this wooden fold-up track similar to John Scarrott's, which was made in 1958 but rebuilt forty years later. It travels as one load behind the eight-wheel car truck.

A quiet day at Adventure Island. Adventure Island (formerly Peter Pan's Playground) is a theme park at Southend-on-Sea, England. It was a quiet day on my visit...

Thomas Emmett, Dodgems
Campbell Park, Milton Keynes, 25 October 2009
Who says lorries aren't sexy? Thomas Emmett's Scania used with his Dodgems features a stunning example of airbrush art! The photo speaks for itself really.
Another Scan of one of my Old Slides taken with a Minolta Maxxim 5000 SLR Film Camera. I believe I took this at the annual Lead East Car Show in Parsippany, New Jersey in the Early to Mid 1990's.

Rear view of the dodgem load showing the paybox in more detail. The artwork is reproduced from a photo of James Harris's paybox, and plastic strip has been added around the top with the lighting painstakingly painted on. The model is fictional but looks fairly typical of the modern Adesko fold-up tracks and was loosely inspired by the dodgems travelled by John Thurston and John Bugg.

Don Ive, Dodgems
Buckingham, 11 October 2019
The most surprising change to this year's lineup was the absence, for the first time in more than 20 years, of Marshall Nichols's dodgems. In their place stood Don Ive's fold-up Supercar track, similar to the one owned by Scarrotts.
So that is how dodgems hibernate! Walton on the Naze Pier, New Year's Day, 2019. Happy New Year to all my flickr contacts, and I hope you had a great Christmas. D800_46279.NEF. Many thanks for views, comments and favourites.
Road Transport Images have recently introduced a showman's luton body for eight-wheelers. For my first example I have chosen to use an ERF C-series cab on RTI's own chassis and wheels, but with slight modifications it will fit on other diecast chassis. Finished in the livery of the fictional Stan Smith & Sons' Super Deluxe Dodgems, carrying roof trusses from the track by Langley Models and towing a 3D printed paybox, it is a very typical 1990s fairground lorry and a particular favourite of mine.

Thomas Emmett, Dodgems
Campbell Park, Milton Keynes, 11 November 2013
At the opposite end of the age spectrum to Albert Smith's ERF is the Scania bought brand new by Thomas Emmett last year, which is still just 18 months old and the most modern lorry on the fairs. The magnificent airbrushing is very evident, with Marilyn Monroe and a Waltzer car on this side of the cab.
