2 more models added to first post, Fendt 930 and 936 vario

i work night shifts at a local supermarket (im still a student), so during the day, besides sleep, i wouldnt do a lot else.

on days after nights that i am not working, i would work on farm with my father.

today, i have sat down and watched a few episodes of stargate atlantis that i downloaded.

I purchased my 14th model today, a Same Diamond 265 

(picture on first post)

iv purchased a new model, MF 8280 xtra (again siku )

picture posted on first post.

Two or more is a collection... so you've got a good one already... thanks for sharing...

Will you be keeping them all in their boxes... or getting them out on display

I am still undecided whether to take them out of the boxes for display, i would need some suitable shelving or cabinets, but at least i know, keeping them in the boxes for the time-being will keep them in mint condition. 

lovely models you have, and as leakey vale says "if you have 2 you have a collection" after all its not the size thats what us males are always told  :D

yes i suppose you are right 

Hi everyone,

hadnt much time to visit this forum since i joined a few weeks ago, but iv decided to post basically the small collection I have.

I am a very new collector, only got interested in the hobby in the past few months, so many people know starting any collection isnt easy.

The only shop near me that sells models, only sell siku models, so all (except 1) are sikus.

I have posted pictures but they are of poor quality, sorry, i used the camera in my mobile phone which is pretty bad.

In the main picture (which has all 12), they are as follows:

Bottom Row: (left to right)

3653 Massey Ferguson with a MF 894 loader (does not say model of tractor itself for some reason)

3257 Fendt 924 Vario with Twin-wheels (though it says fendt 900 on box)

3652 John Deere 6820 with loader

3057 Lamborghini R6.110

Middle Row: (left to right)

3056 Fendt 312 Vario

3469 Schluter Super 1250VL

Welcome to the forum Natted. I agree with what powerrabbit say's and get that David Pullen since it is the bible on Britains. I think that is model number 9515. I purchased one like that a few months ago in the same type of box and it has steering via the air cleaner and also has the engine noise lever. I paid £ 30 for mine. Again I have to agree with the powerabbit there were a lot of viariants with this model. On my spreadsheet I have it says this one was issued 1986 to 1988

yes you are right, its number 9515. since i bought this in 1988, its probably from that year. and yes it does have the steering and engine noise lever that gives a clicking sound.

i havnt got it with me right now, but tommorrow i will check to see if there is a date on the flaps, but as far as i know i dont think there is, thanks anyway for the info  

@powerrabbit: is there any website i can get specific info on this model do you know?

Hello everyone, I am just after registering here and decided to make this topic about this britains model which i had for years in my attic, i completely forgot about it, i think i bought it in 1988. I am not too sure when exactly the model itself was manufactured, but it does say copyright 1986 on the box.

I have posted a few pictures below of it, hope they come out ok.

It was rarely ever taken out of its box, thus its in mint condition. the box itself is a little wrinkled, possibly due to storage conditions in attic.

anyway, i am not an expert in model toys, though i have a keen interest in them, can anyone give me any info on this model, what years it was made, how many of them, its possible value etc...?

thanks!
