Sean,

Surprised they have not got you loan in's on lodge if things are that bad. I know that cabling work has all dried up  on our patches so some are are working out of area or even parked up in the yard

been swapping my van over today,i am now the non proud driver of a fiat ducato, sadly its half the size of my old transit,although according to fleet its the same cubic meterage in the back, what they neglect to say is ,the way the have bodge racked it out you can only half fill it with the kit i have to carry, once all the signage and saftey gear i need to carry by law is on,i only have 3 750mm wide by 400mm deep shelfs to put any actual stores on,which is barely 1 skills worth, i regularly swap between at least 3 over an average week,sometimes in a day, so no idea how i will manage now,suspect its going to mean more driving back and forward to the yard to get stores per job,not just go direct to it, great when we go anything up to 2 hrs from the yard distance wise . but hey its got a 240 v inverter and microwave in it  which is what all engineers have wanted apparently 

Shaun I have escaped the changeover of my 56 plate transit and it is still not down for changeover, I will say you will never get a another HOT brew again  .......I have not heard a positive work about any of the new vans  "Everybody gets what nobody wants"

Well Shaun if your fleet workshop is like mine it will take a fortnight for a replacement mirror... I am still waiting  for a front grill after a pigeon strike.......  I should be hitting  a milestone this week 100000miles

Hi Mandy have you tried dads tractors !

Some new farm figures example a mechanic with a welder and driver getting into a cab, a up to date shepherd, a vet.

a post knocker, corn drier, a trailed silage kit " the first company to do it is surely onto a winner just look at the posts we have had not just Britain's you cannot get better customer feedback than here"

i would like to see as already suggested any trailed current forager

maybe a post driver, various loader attachments, small implements from 70- 90's to fit small to med hp tractors not every farmer has all brand new update kit

A Very Big Thanks to everyone for cracking weekend and all for well worthy cause

great to meet friends new and old hopefully this venue will continue, great to see the amount raise for both charties even on very wet and windy day

kind regards

jonathan and benjamin

p.s Paul, Damian i would just come again just for food off the van out of this world ^-^

Me and ben will miss you phil, A honour to have known you, I will miss those long chats we had at lakeland show, and always be rembered as "A right nice Bloke !!!"

our condolences to his family

Jonathan and benjamin

I would like some farm equipment to match the new releashes of classic' s in 1/32

fantastic as usual graham a master at work ........looking forward to every update

Puts me to shame just trying to get a basic shed started with benjamin at the minute a expert with glue (putting it everywhere except on the barn)

hopefully will get it finshed for tractor world

i was thinking about tractor world at malvern there not many if any two day shows out skirts of the midlands m5/m6 m42  there is room to expand a little but if we get positive feed back and passed on to the organisers we  could request more space.

i think  Andy, Shaun, marky,Tris , Gavin  and  Barry  have been there and seen  whats there and the possibilities  for the world of model farming...

for example  the market garden tractors and implements how much that display has grown in the last few years at malvern 

best of all come  and have a look for yourself 

Me and benjamin had a great weekend  worth a trip up from the midlands  a great venue and enjoy it every year.( first time for ben)  he was so chuffed comming 3rd in the junior class  he has taken his rosette  to school    we both enjoyed meeting everyone new faces and old ... and good excuse to have some of my old  britains on display  along with scaled down layout  which ben took great delight to changing when i was't looking ...... ;D

i got  home back about 7pm unpacked in the workshop  best journey  home yet  no delays must of been the fog  looking forward  to next year

i am lead to  believe that weise are bring this beauty out in feb 2012  approx 55 EURO's

http://www.modelshop24-landmaschinenmodelle.de/Agrartoy-p3078h497s498-Fendt-Xylon-524-weise-toys-Sch.html

a corn dryer,  loader attachments,  a  small plough,  post driver,  a specialist sprayer tractor     

i am still undecided  what to take nothing new i don't think as to busy with my baby daughter  to get in the shed .......

i have booked  4 tables  so i have some room to fill

i was thinking of bringing a big green sheet with a road and some hedges  with a sign  event cancelled due wet weather ...ha ha!   

  I think it was a sack the worker was carrying, hopefully someone else will confirm that  [img alt=\]http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/Smileys/default/undecided.gif    yes  he is missing  a sack  there are few versions made i believe

well come to the forum  i can  see from the introduction you have met some of the nutters on here there are a few more around and will make a appearance.

I am looking forward to seeing your layout  progress and more than likely a trip  to Mandy's website for those extra details  to give you some ideas may be worth a look

i will await  the  next instalment ..... and let you round those loose sheep up  ...ha ha!   

the big fendt square bailer from uh and some small layout items from mandy

i am right in thinking the  3200 was only produced for a short while before being rebadged

i will be there  will  my collection and a  small layout still deciding what to bring as  want scale things  down  this year  have a new build started  so depends how it goes if i get it finshed ......

i will try and dig out some of britains  for a change

next thing is to book some where to stay

very nice jordan looking forward  to seeing it at toytrac  i have a very small layout under construction maynot be completed  my other  layout is staying at home this year  may bring some of my  collection in stead

  have got around to uploading my new purchases

david this  is a picture  of my schuco fendt 9460r  really good details love to bits should display it  bit more often

hi harold

i will  be there  same spot just 4 tables this year please  working  on a  smaller layout /display

regards

jonathan 

well i have been saving up for a while ,i was against buying anymore colour versions of fendts as the cost, i have  most of the l fendts made by wise, u'h wiking in 1/32  and thought that was enough and getting expensive 

But i have just got the  fendt 820 in white only reason being it goes with the three non white fendt tractors  i have so easier to display whilst on my travels toytrac, lakeland ,malvern etc

also brought a  siku xylon like joe for a future project    ;)  and a challenger big baler as it was a right " leslie crowther"  THE PRICE WAS RIGHT  :) :)  in fact a right  bargain

and a few bit and bobs for toytrac layout  may get  to posting some pictures soon of purchases

still undecided what to take to toytrac  one thing it won't be as big as last year
