Uh Tris are you planning to hang on to the bales? I'm building up a little collection of the coloured ones...

Home made topper mower from Ebay

MF 3085 with a big green dual spreader plus JCB struggling to load it.

How about a couple of health and safety inspectors?

Thanks, i'll keep my eyes peeled

What were they listed under?

Mark where do get your brackgrounds?

Old thread bumping, but German plant kits like these are available here: http://www.modellandscapeco.com/Busch.html They're designed for H0/1:87 scale, so perhaps a bit small?

Car boot in Kemble where I got decent chainsaw boots for a fiver

Deutz ?4.51/6.05 commander

Changed a tyre and got ch@t on by the cat

Maybe a little too dear for a starting price: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRITAINS-NATIONAL-TRUST-LAND-ROVER-9690_W0QQitemZ170310382300QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN?hash=item170310382300&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1318

How heavy is that spreader fully loaded i'm surprised the fastrac can pull it?

Big improvement on the Britains Spearhead orbital mower.

Out of Javis, Guagemaster, Noch and Readygrass (others?), which is the best for 1:32 models?

Possible numpty question: what role does the packer have in bed preparation and what is the advantage of having the packer in front of the spring harrow?

Britains one-pass drill/powerharrow

Now i remember, I've got loads of photos of your display from Toytrac. See what you mean about grass colouring- it can look a bit uniform but makes a nice contrast to the machines and shows them up well.

Hm, last time I starte poking round in a carpet shop I got funny looks from the owner! "What are you looking for sir" "Uh, do you have any fabric that looks like ploughed furrows? " etc Brown medium cord eh? Thanks for the recommendation SMurf, I'll have a look.

Are there any UK stockists who sell ploughed field mats? I need something with a quick clean finish, as you might see on a manufacturer's point of sale or catalogue photograph Best so far have been overseas: http://www.sceneryexpress.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BH7182 (they do smaller 1/8" deep furrows as well) Earth scatter: https://www.ontracks.co.uk/index.php?page=product&prodID=20614&catID=271 (this would requirte much fiddling to get straight furrows i imagine, so not ideal)

Lidl sell scenic mats? Has anyone else seen these?

Privately run is it? No doubt the owner had little idea of their real worth! On a good day my local Antics may have the odd new UH or Britains..

Where is this Simon and how much were they?>

That's cool, its gone to a good home! I've seen quite a few recently, Chris Edwards must have them coming out of his ears..
