Archies pike replied to mrol's topic in General Hobby Discussion
Be fair,to have collected 500 models is not bad going by anybodys standards. It is an expensive hobby to persue especially if looking for the rarer model. -

classic tractor magazines januaray 2010
Archies pike replied to big 10-4's topic in Brochures, Farming Books and Magazines
Dont mind me asking but is there ever going to be a story on the company that sells new and repro international parts- it was planned several months ago but nothing seems to have evolved -

A very nice model you have produced there,no doubt a lot of time and patience to achieve the finished article.

Having surveyed the ifor williams trailer at Spalding in more detail i am very unimpressed with this model,the towing hitch is pathetic,the general build and appearence are poor and as for the 2 cows that come with it??? It has no comparison to the earlier britains version-but how come siku managed to secure the rights to this model? Why did britains lose out when they had such a success with original version
-
The reason that available models like the 1200 and other tractor models which cost in excess of the ton mark is the original castings,models been built from several parts,fitting the kits together and the liscensing and copywright from the sole ownership Personally it annoys me that these models can be thrown together in a country where labour is very cheap,huge numbers can be reached in a short period and a world wide market Whereas someone has managed in this country to produce highly detailed models,which has involved a lot of hard work,time and effort to create something which attracts a certain market which the large toy manufacturers should have latched onto at the time of the proper tractor been in production An example - massey 390 1 of the best selling tractors in the UK in the 1990's The closest thing to it a 362? Some one has taken the time and effort to produce this model 10 years on,is it popular i rest my case ?????
