Won this pair on ebay  both are in very good condition and boxed    boxes have some wear to them not the end of the world.   I had planned to advertise the drill for swaps, as I have a mint condition one already.    but after getting them out for a clean and pairing them together I think I'll keep them both.    I love the flotation tyre versions  britains made.

The sticker was missing from this dozer blade when I got it. Its in a fairly good condition bar the missing sticker but a drop of chrome pen has sorted it out reasonably enough.   Would have been better I I did it in the warmth.

Picked up a mint unboxed jcb.   Pleasantly surprised by its quality  would make a nice addition to a carpet farm

Now that i have moved house i dont have a layout, so started to do small dio’s in the display cabinets i have, here is the first one, just got to put up a scenic background and some weathering on the models and its finished

Looks good    the smaller displays are becoming more popular   I remember it being more of a European thing in the past   but its 100% a great space saver and excellent way to display a couple bits together 

Did "dad's tractors" make sheds as well ?   Sure I remember him making sheds fuel tanks and the trailers and what not    I'd love a trailer one day

Nice models Callum. Any idea who makes the PZ mower? Is that Minitrac?

Mark phelan does them  but he only supplies dealers like UTS 

Bought a massey gift set and the case in the brushwood black Friday sale   bits that I'd had an eye one but never bothered buying. the case is actually pretty cool, glad I bought it now. Bought the blue roof 6640 from Facebook  and the rest from ebay      has anyone had bother with the rubber sacks or bales sticking in the transport box ?  I had the bags in mine but they lift little marks so have taken the out for now 

An excellent couple loaders from P32 

Also Finished my cattle crush and straw blower 

Excellent bits from UTS   belive the tattie digger and roler are made by Ken Davies   and a nice 3d printed PZ mower and scraper 

Some pics of the lates additions 

Set of JD mechanics and some other green machines 

Think I've got all the original 40/50 series now    

Nice early 135 and a tidy 5000 from the joblot earlier.   And finaly managed to get some wheels for the loading shovel  had bought it without wheels to add custom wheels to it   then AT collections announced there loading shovel and that kinda killed of my plan.    Plus some pics round the carpet farm in the loft

It‘‘s a Britains driver. They were sitting in the NH TL80 Dealer Edition (40516) with blue NH box, issued in 2002 only. The later version in AFM Box (2003+) had the usual brown one. Last ones came without driver.

I did wonder that  but have never noticed the blue drive    a nice find then

not seen one like that before,but to me it doesnt look like a britains one, looks poorly moulded for one,and i have never seen any version of the britains drivers with that mould hole in their stomach area either 

Yea the hole in his stomach is certainly different    I'll have to study it more and take more pics      it's definitely not siku, TIM or newray so I'm not sure where he could be from 

I've just bought a newholand TL80  and it's got a blue driver    I've only ever seen the black ones and the 2 shades of brown.  Anyone got any information on this one   don't think it's been painted 

Fue more bits in a joblot then got the lorry and the ford's separately.  Have a nice original 135 and 5000 out the joblot but need to fit decals to them

Have bought from him with no problem but it was only one order, to be fair you cant beat g and m and brushwood and carpet farmer

I'd second  that   

Excellent collection    the 'really usefull boxes' are very good and like you say expensive   but I'd like to think in the long run they will survive the best

If it does, I hope its not in that glow in the dark green again. 😂

Aye its a tad wild haha   I've a dark green one and a glow in the dark one.  Looks alright on a deutz but that's about it haha    a nice red one this time would be good seen as they did a silver and blue one not so long ago

Britains must be releasing the green animal box again. See it in the pictures on the stand...

Also, where the slurry tanker?

I did see pics of the transport box and wondered if it would be coming back 

Fue more bits into the collection.   There's been more but basically new britains models and some unboxed bits and bobs

Firstly was fairly jammy and found an unboxed FTF case for very good money.   Found a nice dark green disco on ebay. The jcb 4cx and dumper are cheapo toys  but to be fair they aren't terrible. I always liked the 4 in 1 bucket on the digger.    The siku Christmas newholland is pretty smart  bit of a novelty but still cool 

A right busy week in the shed by the looks of things.   Well done 

She's a cool looking number    well done 

Excellent display    the junction is a nice touch
