Snowed in and no digital tv reception

This is exactly what I had in mind to display my Britains models. May I ask where you bought your glass shelves? And that Vanderstad drill looks huge compared to the older Britains!

It's only been snowing for an hour or so and I'm already effectively cut off from civilisation

Excellent I love the DB's, but get those pictures sorted!

Mandy's sacks & tools are a perfect match with the old Britains garden stuff, plus the new Fords look right at home!

More frustrated than really annoyed but some cattle and calves escaped from their shed pen today so i had an evening of fun chasing them about by myself for a good 40 minutes...

Feeding cows & pulling leeks for free, scraping & salting the drive for nowt and hoovering for zip.

Britains Ford 5000 late production model (5000 stickers & wheels but with 6600 casting)

Family meeting up in Rutland today, on the journey through the county I noticed numerous fields with lines or sections of uncut cereal crops on field margins or occasionally dividing plantations. I'm curious if these would be used as some sort of cover crop or for conservation purposes?

Finding my yellow mf200 tipper is actually red, and filling in *""@|^*'''''* Jobcentre forms :'(

First go at hedge laying down at the farm.

Yellow MF200 trailer at last (I hope) with BM valmet both for £9.70!

I think I know what you're referring to; no replicas have been made of these to my knowledge so you'll probably have to dismantle an old model to get at the pin. What tractor is it?

This blue fold-up cultivator http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130347616618&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Ploughmaster/Super6 etc, can anyone tell if this is the foldup from the 1989 NH set or the later 05/06 "Farm Set" with the brandless baler and red (?) John Deere, fences & cows?

First day (morning) of a new routine, limited this time of year to feeding bedding & mucking out a small herd of mostly Hereford & 1 shorthorn (& 1 sow)

Lone Mccormick mtx 135 with post knocker and yellow Twose front forks.

Yesterday I had something lined up but it never happened cause the boss cut off his thumb! Well most of it.

Know how you feel FB

These are the slotting wicker fences I meant: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRITAINS-VINTAGE-GARDEN-FENCE-PANEL-X9-FLORAL-ARDEN_W0QQitemZ370297754641QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Toys_Games_ToySoldiers_EH?hash=item5637775411

I have this one too, though it's not a particularly good model by Britains. (I prefer the old hay barn, pine lodge stables and bungalow from the 60s/70s) Does yours have the same earth-colour roof as shown on the box cover, or is it a cherry red one like mine?

I have a few of these, have you any idea what catalogue number the are? I know you can also get interlocking wicker fences that are similar but taller and slot together instead of the hook and loop method of the wattle ones.

The bloke told me he was stunned when he received initial offers of £40 (me) and £55 (from a Dutch chap), he had no idea of its value! Then the feeding frenzy of the last 20 seconds of the bid with £180-odd thrown at it he must be delirious

Sun's out in Gloucestershire after a night of rain, but it's getting colder
