got a few from toytrac yesterday

Britains MF 595 DRW

Britains blue high sided tipping trailer

Britains Claas blue tipping trailer

Britains Valtra Valmet 8950 in Claas Colours

Britains Deutz DX92

Britains Deutz DX65 (i think?) 2wd

So it was you who nabbed the Valmet while my back was turned Nice guy that bloke in the corner and he had a large variety of vintage models for sale.

£350+.....more than my car service!!....some nice models though in the collection :)

Hm I was going to get my car serviced before I came down, I can't afford it now!

Yes I'm particularly pleased with the 590 which was a bit of steal at £50  (for me anyway).

pictures never do the real thing justice mate, but as always amazing, ment to ask yesterday ,what are the walls along the road and down the hill made of?? and who by?

I don't know, some of Mark's official photos -the close-in ones esp of the interiors- give the eye something to focus on when there was so much to distract at the show! I  always worry about getting too close to an exhibit anyway  \

I really like the elevation of parts of the display at the back, something I tried to achieve aged 6 with books under a rug and matchbox cars balanced on top! If I could, I'd have most models arranged like that, but it's just too much of a risk nowadays.

Still think you need a few more farmhands Graham, that poor cow! And a bit more action, say a couple of arsonists/thieves being  pursued by the farmer's dogs ( )

This little lot set me back >£350  . Never again

what like a green trailer :D  

> :'(

I've not won anything i've bid on for 2 weeks..

Well I was counting on people in the know not seeing it ploughmaster, and I got that part right at least..  .  I ended work early and dashed back home certain it was mine but bloody computer took too long to load. Waqiting a week for that.

Ah well.

Moping

It clearly went to the right home, that's a nice line up. You just need the yellow mf and autoway tippers to complete the collection. Oh and that early edition high sided tipper in turquoise!

Some great shots, I almost double-taked on the second photo of the feed wagon loading! Nice composition.

NH T6070 with a 12T ?Kaytwo trailer, part of a nh team working on maize.

oh well time will tell when it arrives, won it this morning for 22 quid \ \ \ \ , have the yellow and red bauer tanker on that page milo posted to  so hopefully a mf200 trailer will fall my way at toytrac for the tailgate and lever( think i have the lever spare already, and thats another rare one, wish i could find out more about when it was out, box type ect mind

Gah!!! You beat me by £1... . Was occupied so had to put a pre-emptive down.

I also noticed this on Britainstoys.nl. Nasty colouyr but unusual.

Took a day off work to erect the woodshed, but it's still not finished..

MF 2645 with a Kuhn flail mower

Just got going with the maize after the forager had to have the stone reset and then the track rod broke on the rear axle. Havn't had one load to push yet. Oh all this after having to empty the bath this morning from yesterdays catch . . . . 40 out of nearly 400 Signal Crayfish that the farmer here caught yesterday. Guess what I have got to do for tea. . . ?

Slightly OT but is maize usually harvested so late? Bloke near us still has his growing and I thought it was high time he cut it..

Something non-Britains for a change, a Dad's Tractors' diesel bowser.

Back to britains though for a glazed MF135 cab from Ebay.

Nice pictures Paul.

Today laying the concrete base for t kindling shed with my old man . absolutely knackered but we're only halfway through and the mix has run out..

Oh and rescued one young chap who twisted/sprained his ankle crossing a stile, my good deed for the day

Are you taking any of your constructions to Wincanton Damien?

Freecycle wild goose chase

I was up at 8am, cooked us bacon, sausage, eggs, tomatoes, beans and toast. Down the house to stain last couple of beams. Loaded the van up with rubbish and went to the tip. In to Focus to pick up a garden store we paid for yesterday. Back to the house, rubbed down filler on living room walls and got two coats of white on walls and stained fireplace beam. Back to Tracis now and I'm frying the last 4 sausages for a couple of sausage baps

Who said Sundays are for resting eh?

Taking down parent's kindling shed + preparing foundations for new one.

Had a roast venison bun for lunch
