And I've heard a whisper that UH plan to release seven more Counties over the next 2/3 years in 1/16th scale and all 8 in 1/32nd scale............. ;D

So at todays exchange rate that is £41-70, plus shipping from the Netherlands. It'll be interesting to see what price UK dealers list them at.

I remember seeing some as well Jez. Got a feeling it was a German site....Witomo or Baernys (not sure of the spelling on that one) per chance? I'll have a hunt through my favourites.........

Commiseriations Barry, building trade is going through a real bad patch. Join the club though, it happened to me a year ago.........enjoy your visits to the Job Centre.

Oh by the way I should have added that they were the worst vehicle to drive I've ever come across. Had the minibus version for a fortnight in East Kent in the early 1970's fetching and carrying pickers around the veg fields around Thanet. No brakes, exessively vague steering and took about a mile downhill to reach 50!!

Yes Marky sold in the UK as a Commer. There may be a 1/43rd ish Corgi,severl versions if I recall but I'm no Corgu expert so not totally sure, but no 1/32nd as far as I know. Pity as I would like one as well!!

Possibly provide UK Fendt dealers get some. Ask Karen/Steve, they seem to have contacts with a Fendt dealer. Suspect the entire first run went direct to Fendt Germany so Ebay.de will have plenty!

More details on Top Tractor website. Released today in Fendt dealer box. Avaialable from TT in a week or so. Standard box version available November. Also some more details on the new UH MF there as well.

Just check the Toylord website, thats how I would translate it as well. Also looks as if it will be in a Fendt box.

Fandabbidozzie.............at least one of those for me. Siku or replica linkages? Siku I hope.

You go for it Tris (well you have haven't you). Everyone needs to treat themselves at times. Purely personal choice. Also with the UH Kuhn 6F on its way I'm just hedging my options and watching the pennies at the moment.

Wonder how many Kverneland have ordered in a dealer box to sell via their dealerships? Several thousand at a guess. May see what the local dealer has/can get in a few weeks time. Nice model, this first release seems expensive for what it is. Would like one but as with Joe will wait a while.

I use an Olfa P-Cutter. Its a knife with a special v-shaped blade that scores a groove in the card and then you just bend and snap along the joint. Originally developed for vynil flooring. Costs about £8, blades last a long time.

Probably release fliud from the plastic injection mould. Enables the moulded part to be ejected easily from the mould with out damage/breakages.

I saw a John Deere 1055 combine today, parked outside a house in Silverton, near Exeter. Had the header on a trailer attached to the back. I assume the driver was in having lunch before moving on the the next field. A small machine (as was the header), not sure of it age but was in good condition. Would really have liked to hang around a follow it to see if I could have seen it action but unfortunately had to be elsewhere.

Yeah your right. Bit eager there, putting two and two together Anyway they are the facelifted version, whatever they are. I like the plough and the cultivator and the Fendt 400's look good as well. Oh dear plastic bashing time around the corner

On Jamie's photos the MTX is boxed in the background, single wheel version. Must be due for release very soon.

Then again the A303 was shut for several hours at least 3 days in the past week. Traffic to the SW was extremely heavy Friday and yesterday, start of the holiday season I suspect. No Satnav Mandy, that would have helped (or should that be hindered!!)

Picked mine up from W H Smith yesterday...no stuck pages at all. Only had a quick skim through it but looks a great read. The Model page is of interest this month.............

No Simon, just ditched Orange, at long last. Was a customer was 12 years but after the last 8 months of problems nothing on earth would persaude me to sign up with them again. Customer service is not existant and signal, well have great difficulty in getting one. I'm just hoping O2 don't end up the same.............

Finally get shot of Orange as a mobile phoe provider.

The airfreighted 400 all went to Claas Germany, now sold out. Claas UK awaiting their allocation of the remaining 2600 due in the next few days.

Just called in the local Claas delaers. The Tucano is still not available from Claas UK so couldn't order one as I wanted. However they now have a UK price for it, just under £42 plus VAT so it will cost just over £50 from a UK Claas dealer. Looks like the end of July before I can order.

Thanks Andy, I'll bear that in mind for next April. Won't be going in October as at the on 5th October I'll be in Las Vegas!!
