Does this set include a realistic Ransomes plough or just a MF plough painted blue?

Nice to see the actual animals in this box.

Hello Jan, Dispite you having to save your marriage, that is a nice solution. And for sure, one has to make choices in life, even when it comes to collecting farm models. And yes, I am also active on the Dutch Miniaturenforum, so you might have seen my name there, It has been quiet there for sure, some of our members have continued on social media rather than the forum.

Wow those are really expensive models! As I noticed all the golden John Deere models had slightly decreased in value over time, but this really is amazing ...

Impressive collection Jan! Must take up a lot of space in your house, or do you have a separate space for your collection? I truely like your showcases, a joy to look at them on the pictures. By the way, I also collect models in boxes, mostly because in my case the box is part of the set (I have a nice collection of Britains gift sets) and also because boxes in my opinion add value to models, and are easily sold with than without boxes. Mainly due to all the fragile parts on today's models.

Really nice set Cyril, the New Holland baler came with it?

Nice collection of front loaders! You just have to sort those accessories on the Britains Farmhand loader, that is a bit of a mixup.

Some interesting models on that list ... some playsets, a Ford TW20 and even the Valtra Valmet 8950 will return. Can't wait for more info!

Nice models you have collected again (and again, and again 😁) but where on earth do you store such a collection? I use IKEA IVAR shelves and have recently added a small piece for some new finds, but you must own an extra house to keep your collection in ...

Some amazing finds lately, superb! And about the different colours in parts on the models I knew, but different coloured inner trays? Never seen those. Something to keep an eye out for, but as far as I know Farm Series always used creme or white inner trays, depending on age.

Must say I rather like this MF 5S. Always been a fan of these steep-nosed MF tractors. And those Ginaf trucks were once quite common in Holland, but they were always custom build. Curious what the Chinese will make of them!

It has been a while since my last update, but now and than some nice models find a place in my attic. Britains 9620 Fiat 90-90 DT with cultivator Britains 9598 Ford 7710 with rear digger Britains 9597 Ford 6600 with 8-wheeled trailer Britains 9644 Same 170 Turbo and Benac bale wagon. A bit of a mystery, since the box clearly shows it was intended for another set (#9635 MF 2680 Gift set). But there is some residue of glue left to be seen, so I presume a sticker has been placed over the original box to re-use for this set. Britains 9522 MF 595 Britains 9558 8-wheeled trailer in grain box. Britains 9539 Disc mower. One for the "Britains variants" topic. this one is metallic blue. Britains 9324 County 1884 Powerfarm. Britains 9597 MB Trac 1500 with hopper. And some more recent stuff, such as this Britains 43264 JCB 1 CXT. Or this Britains 43221 Vicon Fastbale. Relaunched for their 100th birthday, Britains 42902 John Deere 3050. And over to non-Britains, as this Universal Hobbies 6258 Massey Ferguson 5713S Next Generation. Limited edition 1000 pcs. A new series in a lot of colours, Universal Hobbies Valtra G135 in Olive Green. Bought directly at Valtra, cheaper than through a regular model shop. Once sold for a mere 9,99 euro a piece at a well known householdshop (Blokker) in the Netherlands, this Revell Easykit Liebherr R900 and L538. Hard to find unbuilt these days, and quite a bit more expensive!

Collecting farm models, or Autoways models in your case, is an ongoing struggle.

I also picked one off these up a few weeks ago, will make a great base model for some upgrades in the future. Love the colour, the wheels. Sorry but I can't make two quotes in one message ... Really looking forward to these, hopefully the wheels won’t be as wonky as the blue one... Those front wheels have always been wonky on the E27N.

Those differences will be much more easy to keep up with while collecting Autoway than Britains Farm. I have at least stopped collecting all different boxes, too much afford to kee track off.

Bought a lot of SIku Fendt Xylons in box, a MF 5713S Next Black and a Ford 5000 by UH. a Britains Valmet 805 forestry (with crane on the cab), a JCB 1CXT digger, a MF 5613 and a custom built Mengele forager.

Great Britains MF set, but what a pity on the condition of the box ...

Indeed, I see some better prices for older Siku models in nice boxes but this is completely crazy!

Nice line up, I also know of a T5.120 with a terracotta loader. It is in my collection but I can't find the pictures just yet.

Nice ones Cyril, thanks for pointing to me about the 2 different versions on the 9670 set.

Not really an Autoway fan, but this is a very nice find!

That is an unusual one Andy, no decals or brand on the grill, Autoway wheels, just the bed is different. Any numbers on the box?

Look like it, it also has the power stick in the chassis, the TW25 did not have that.

The Landrover is complete with sticker and poster Cyril. And yes that man in the set took a closer look at a blockage in the baler somewhere. Not uncommon with Britains sets by the way. Perhaps you could post a photo of that Pine Lodge?

Few, somebody has bought some new stuff here ... Cyril, that NH 8160 is a conversion?
