Rudge

Since there is a lot of really old bikes on the internet these days, in connection with "The Pre 1916 Motorcycle Cannonball Endurance Run", I though I´d publish a picture that is kind of special. Take a close look at that Rudge...

The Rudge is in fact 6 3/4 inch (ca 15 cm, a scale of 1:12) long and belongs to the garage in The Queens Dolls´ House, built in the 1920s as a gift for Queen Mary (1867-1953). It can be seen in Windsor Castle. I read that the engine of the Rudge is actually a fully functional gasoline engine!
