Again it looks like another winner to me, well done Britains. Is this possibly a start of a whole new line for Britians, ie making models for the collector as in the past as we all know most of their products were aimed at children. To me most children wont know what these models are as they haven't grown up around them and therefore don't want to add one to the carpet farm as most tractors they may see out and about are mainly newer models. I hope they make a strong comeback as some of us older collectors first started collecting Britains when young and I for one believe it is them who made the model tractor world what it is today.

For the first time in years I can say I will be definitely be having both of them two from Britains, A well deserved pat on the back.

Right here are the rest, sorry they are a bit small but it was this size or nothing.

If this works this should be a picture of the new Britains Chaser/grain trailer.

dont actually remember a chaser trailer from them to be honest when did that come out the first time round then

I think the chaser trailer was previously an Ertl release, not the sort of thing you would see in britain.

Sorry to disappoint you but the grain trailer isn't a Kane, its the grain chaser bin that they have previously released in green. The JCB is changed decals, the NH combine again is changed decals (I think). The Case and NH and loaders do look quite smart though. Ill try to post up photos though, as soon as I can sort them out.

i would keep it mate ,that's got to be a rare one seeing as that's the only 2 like it now, plus you have the sales receipt so it can't be claimed as a convo, might be worth a bit more in time?? never know

I like things to be right though, I will get in touch with G and M and see what they say. If there are 2 wrong I should think there are more out there.

Having collected my two Imber Industrials yesterday I got home to find I also had a 6640 industrial, but mine is the 2wd version. It was also in the standard Imber box rather than the different industrial box. Going to try and get mine changed, we pay enough for them so they should be correct.

They look smashing models. Looking at the pictures it looks as though the loader is detachable?

I think the rep new allot more than he was letting on, he just kept smiling as I kept pushing him. He also said he was surprised in the amount of interest the 7810 has been getting and that this interest hasn't gone un noticed.

Well I will let you all into a little secret (well kind of). Last Sunday I was lucky enough to go to the Toy and Hobby Show at the Ricoh Arena at Coventry. Accurate Diecast were there and had the full range on UH models on show, including the new MF, New Holland and loader and the Ford 7810. I wasn't able to take any photos unfortunately but I have to say all three of the models were spot on, to me they looked even more detailed than they usually are.

I also had a long chat with one of the reps and ask him a few questions about any future releases. All he said was that this year will be one of the best yet in terms of new releases. When I asked him what we could expect new this year all he would say is that they will be filling in allot of the gaps, I asked what do you mean by that he said that "for example" they have made the Mf 135 and the new Mf 7000 series so whats left in the middle of them two!!.

He also said there will be plenty of new releases with improved detail, looks like another expensive year then.

A UH Mf 5480, only I had it weathered by Fendthead.

I will be there also, went last year and really enjoyed it. Its well organised and good free parking and its in a cracking part of the world.

Theres also a pre production picture of a Schuitemaker Rapid 125 Forage Wagon pictured in the 2010 catologue, due for release in January 2010?. No proper pictures of that yet.

Anybody know anything about whats happening with them. There website isn't working properly and they have nothing on eBay. I think I can remember him telling me they were planning a new website some time ago so maybe that's why there is no activity. Anybody know anything?

Today I have been to my local scrap dealer ( JD Dealer )    to collect my Britians LTD Edition Gold SP Sprayer.

i have just had the call to say i have one reserved to collect . did any one else on here get one ?

Yep me too!!. John Deere phoned me on my mobile at about 5.45pm to say one was reserved for me and to ask which dealer I wanted it sending to.

Just a quick reminder that the draw for this model is on this coming friday (friday 13th!! )

Just incase anybody who had registered had forgoten.

Just a reminder to anybody in the Cheshire area. its always a good show and well worth a visit. A good range of vintage and modern equipment will be on show along with plenty trade stands and food and drink.

Anybody from here going?. I will be and hope to take plenty of pictures for those who cant come.
