  2. The 240 was on sale today at the lakeland model show all sold out
  3. 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.
  4. Won this set on ebay sat night along with some other boxed items Buy it now price $50 for the tw-20 implement set http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Britains-1-32-Farm-Set-9592-Tractor-Ford-TW-20-Implements-New-Box-/230677386643?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item35b5719593

  7. Just been searching through various catergories,what on earth has happened to the whole system You cant choose distance nearest 1st,ending soonest etc the item you look at seems to be all over the place on the listing page i.e cant seem to enlarge pictures,to me the whole set up has gone totally pathetic? ??? ??
  8. looking at this picture the front axle is fairly similarhttp://www.mascus.com/image/product/large/lintrup/M,76e91242-90d2-4a01-a533-446349605856_6.jpg
  9. The 178 i must say is a very stunning model,love the detail especially around the driving position
  10. totally agree,still cant beat the toy fair for purchasing obsolete items,have a browse first then a bit of bartering - cant beat it
  11. Lenny was in the 1st room,his stall ran along the back wall upto the entrance into the 2nd room on the left side as you walked through
  12. yeah f redg and log book was changed last night so should recieve back within a few weeks 2 previous owners,last 1 owned it for 15 years,refurbished it and hardly used it as he lived in a terreced house and only went on the road for a drive now and again
  13. Well truth be known i got it for a grand i will put some pictures up tomorrow night
  14. not far away,as brucie used to say in play your cards right "lower lower"
  15. Purchased a massey 135 yeaterday,swept back axle,genuine 2300 hours for new,f redg,new tyres and wings all dials,lights work.....sat in a little shed at back of a terraced house in garden for last 2 years-never started or moved How much? ??? ?? nearest guess could win a prize and be presented with it at spalding (i have a table booked again)
  16. What about a sprayer,roller,and yard scraper
  17. someone with you got a milking parlour at a good discounted rate
  18. i will be in the smaller room once again,this will be the 5th time i have had a table not many members on here will know me but we are usually 2nd row back nearer to side doors.Staying in a b&b at Whaplode night before which we have used for several years now but we did stay in travelodge in october for a change (nice climb upstairs to get to reception)and had a few drinks in pub next door before heading into spalding town centre for a few more bevvies.On sunday we will be selling mostly obsolete britains and some other brands i.e nzg siku Uh,i had just managed to aquire a collection of 80's britains recently so that helps fill the table-see you all there
  19. I could have collected it no problem but Northumberland is a big county and when i asked the question of 'which area are you based in the county' and is there a box with it you can guess the outcome.........no responce???
  20. 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
  21. http://farmingforum.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=341570#post341570 pictures i have come across
  22. A very nice model you have produced there,no doubt a lot of time and patience to achieve the finished article.
  23. 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
  24. 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 ?????
  25. A little piece of info i found about the ferguson brown http://www.ferguson-museum.co.uk/ferguson_brown.htm
