I'm hoping Claas have a few left over next weekend... That said, in reality I would prefer a Commandor 228 on wheels really! /malc.

Interesting conversion here... I guess getting the pivot right is key to the project....

Yay!

Evening! Claasy Girl has requested a password reset - last night about 23:30 and again this evening... is the process working? Thanks, /malc.

ROAD TRIP!!!! off to Essex to find Ford8830, Chris and Hoss - and anything else lime green on the way!!

I'll look forward to the photos! /m.

I saw that on e-bay, loved the seller's description! The header looks interesting, is it made from two Siku headers or something more esoteric? /malc.

Instant collection anyone? http://www.ebay.de/itm/Siku-Sammlung-Farmer-1-32-uber-600-Stuck-Fendt-John-Deere-Claas-Traktor-/251401595275?pt=Spielzeugautos&hash=item3a88b3e98b

Claas combines are where it's at for me BG! I have a few Claas foragers and tractors but when push comes to shove it's combines first, everything else second! /malc. P.S Not that the Axion wouldn't look great on display with the other Claas stuff I have...

Come to Daddy....

Come to Daddy....

If I find another so that I have one still original then I might consider that! Back on topic - don't know when I will get these but thanks to your tip off Joe I have ordered these babies from Agratoy.de. Like I say, it's been an expensive year... /malc.

Two exciting deliveries today... First up a weird Lexion clone I found on e-bay. Another copy of the Bruder Lexion 480 at what I am guessing is 1/24 scale. I have the Bruder 1/20th scale original, plus a 1/32 scale Chinese rip off, and now the one in the middle. Exactly the same construction and mouldings as the Bruder but odd colours and very poorly applied stickers. Still, it's a Lexion of sorts so pleased to have it having never seen one like it before! Secondly, the Claas 100 Years Lexion. Not much to report, apart from mine cost less than €300 including the postage from Germany - so given the fact they were €249 from Claas that's no much of a markup for a well known 500 piece limited edition. Still, not complaining! /malc.

No, didn't go to Manns for it, it came from Germany 'on the cheap'. I was going to get it from Manns but unfortunately they couldn't get me a silver 100 Years Lexion so I wasn't going to make the 90 mile round road trip when I could get the 780 delivered for much less than the cost of petrol - even if that meant missing out on seeing the guys at BSE! Back to topic - latest farm model buy is this... /malc.
