Richard Cox from Watergrasshill is staging a Model Show at the local Watergrasshill Business Park on Sunday, February 2. This model show run by model enthusiasts follows on from the success that he and his brother have had in 2011 and 2012.

Richard said that the February show has already over 40 stands booked, so this is going to one of the biggest model shows in the south of the country. Richard can be contacted for stand and entry information on 087-2893140.

Richard is currently working as an undergraduate field test and development engineer at the Case New Holland at the tractor factory in Basildon, England and on the company’s test farm. He is one of a small group of engineers working in the European Field Test and Development department.

They test new tractors, tractor parts, telehandler and tractor software at different stages in development. They carry out a full tractor test to see how the systems work in practical field conditions. He is currently working on all of the tractors from the T4 to the T7, and telehandlers.
