Driving a nine tonne dumper from a building site to a friends farm, where it will be carting hay (probably) tomorrow.

Big improvement on the base toy by the looks of things It's a shame Britains stopped using clear plastic or crystals for lights though. Those cab roof ones would be near impossible to convert I'm sure.

Looks brilliant, you know your Fords alright! What is the cab from?

Lots of dumper driving and a spot of fencing too.

Stuart's going to be flat out for the next 5 days looking at the forecast for next weekend!

Good choice of base models, looks about the right size for an 885

That's a lot of kit you're responsible for, you'll certainly be kept busy. Very neat looking silage clamp too!

Ooh would love the TW20 /7710 with the green/red digger

Will be interesting to see this little assortment of makes on the layout. Who makes the chaser bin (I only know of the Britains one)?

It looks fantastic from every angle. Would look great working next to a smaller SG-cabbed Deere perhaps a 50-series. Not sure about the warning triangle though.

The zoom on that camera is stupendous! These photos are compelling me to dig my Dartmoor books out, always been fascinated by the place.

Never seen that hue with a MF200 sticker or in a striped early 90s box, it's usually got a Claas badge from the Super Value pack. I'd hold fire if you're thinking of bidding.

My local farmer is struggling to find 4 dry days to mow/row/bale. Looks like it's going to be the three of us on it this year

Interesting Tim. Will you be "starring", as it were, on the dvd?

Hard work isn't it? Today I've been cutting a hedge with a Flymo. More of the same anon.

Ditto

Very nice example (certainly in better condition than mine), but change that driver! My favourite oldie is a Britains 5000 transition model, with front mounted oval exhaust and 6600 decal. So many I like though, especially my new two-faced IH 956/1056xl Transition model!

Thanks Paul, I'm still searching around for some decals to add.

With that header its way too big for me to display or even store. Thanks for the review though Joe. Can you open the cabin doors or get photos of the cabin detail?

Several photos of the 3000 gallon fertiliser tank I was working on a week ago:

I'll try to take a few tomorrow Paul when I've finished work and there is more light available. Thanks for the interest, it's my first real "scenery" conversion since pi$$ing about with Games Workshop terrain some 15 years ago!

Recently finished (or nearly finished bar a few decals) a chemical tank based on Britains milk tanker.

Good! My 'want' list is getting rather long.

And perhaps a smoking shed ruin to represent the end of the brewing process.
