Originally a Herald goat from 1958, this is a post '64 version with ENGLAND on its belly. The dogs are also originally a Herald design from 1957. the Farm hand would have had either a broom, hoe, pitch fork or rake, again herald from 1958 originally. The dark green figure was for the Zoo range from 1963, but was used in one of the large show jumping boxed sets, a Britains figure, he used a head from a Herald Royal Marine figure of 1960,  that was also used on the milkman. The donkeys look like the first Herald version released in 1961. For more information on Herald and Britains animals/figures there is an excellent reference book by Peter Cole, Suspended Animation,  and also the books by Barney Brown, if you can find them!

Thanks for the information 👍     it's nice to see the herald rang   and compare them with the later figures.  I was having a study of the man with his shotgun and comparing him with the grey newer version.    

 Looks like we are getting the honda quad back from britains 

Britains new Nash 

Here's a fue more pics of the goat 

The MB tracs are back !   

I think the red and black man is supposed to have a brush in his hands    I found a similar looking one on ebay     presume they are britains herald 

Another job lot from ebay   bit of a shame the sheds missing a facing (ordered a replacement)  but it was all a good price and has some nice bits in it 

Hi just looking for a bit of help on these figures(dogs and goat)    I've never seen them before   the goat almost looked like a copy but I believe it to be britains 

A New fraser trailer arrived today 

This beauty arrived today.  Same style of fraser trailer as my old next door neighbour

Plenty of bales got

It's a massive amount of bales haha   

And the little job lot that was bought before the big collection came for sale   couple bits of damage but the bits I bought it for were good so can't complain 

Here's a couple pics after cleaning the collection I bought.   Over all it's in very good condition   fue cabs and a couple linkages   some bales have the edges filled down and all the cows have been dehorned by a busy young farmer! Haha    but all in all a very good collection and a rare chance to get everything in 1 go.    Does anyone have any tips for cleaning animals   just soapy hot water ? Some sheep have pen on them

Nice find. 

A lot of cleaning to be done but once I've done that I'll get a picture of it all set out 

Won a cracking joblot on ebay the other day. nice mix of bits for £39

Then came across this lot on Facebook market place  a massive collection of britains bits  in mostly very nice condition. It wasn't a bargain but if I was to sell it all individually I'd make money  so I'd say it was a fair deal for me. Also got the 135s and what not from him    does anyone know anything about the silver and red acrobat rake ?

Will be nice when it's done     keep up the good work
