Thanks a million James

No problem 

Fabalous collection there, it really does look more like a shop! And you're bang up to date with everything too

These are photographs of photographs so the quality isn't great but I think this is what you're looking for. We owned this tractor for about two years until 2001 when we traded it in for a new Valtra 6650. We titdied it up a bit while we had it hence the before and after vibe in the photos. It was a good tractor to pull especially with the dual power, but wasn't the nicest to drive particularly as the noise would make your ears bleed!

Look on http://www.robertwraightltd.com/, he usually has a few in stock

I'll have to see if I can find a few more on the web that you don't have and then text them on to you as per usual ;D

You'll have to look very hard!! ;D  I'll email you the current list to save you some time

Thanks for the comments lads, I'm glad the photos came out well, my camera can be a bit hit and miss so I picked out the best of them. Don't worry about the state of the workshop Denis, That's how most workshops look anyway! Good job on the display Mick, there was plenty going on. I might have a go at a Valmet like your 8550 some time. As for the wish list, I managed to knock another one off before I went home by buying the 1/16 Valmet 20 off George's stand :D

I note **** did not try to burn the place down by steaming her up - only 3 ag displays then James?

No he says he only ever runs it on air nowadays, too much of a mess to clean out I suspect. There was four ag displays, mine and three layouts

SIX PER POST PLEASE

Sorry, was trying to avoid interruptions, such as yours.

Some of the third display then:

This was denis086's display, I was very impresseed with all the little details he has added, especiall in the workshop:

OK simmer down then folks and look at the pictures

First, I got one specially for you Stan:

A couple of my own display:

This display belonged to a fella called Leon I think:

its definitely in the WIT sports hall which is beside the main college building on the campus thats certain same place as last year

Oh right, thanks for clearing that up, can't wait for tomorrow now!

The sports hall is in the wit campus,pull in to the car park  at the front and it is up to the left hand side

I that's where it is then ignore my directions, those are for the Waterford Crystal Leisure Centre which is where it was the last time I went. Can anyone confirm that it has moved venue to the WIT grounds? I'm sure I'll find it either way but it might save some driving around \

To the best of my rememberance,driving out the Cork Rd. from the city centre, pass Waterford Crystal and WIT on the right, the sports centre is on your left by the side of the road, opposite the graveyard, you can't miss it really.

I've just ordered mine now, couldn't get to it yesterday. Can't wait to take delivery now. I still can't complete the Model Farmer subscription, it looks like the builders are still in that part of the site, but I look forward to being able to do it when they leave ;D

What time on Monday will we be able to order them Andy, and where do we order?

Has anybody got any more info on the black Valtra, ie model number, how many will be available, will it be on general release and does anyone want to bring me back one??  

oh thats something new, another valtra  :

Inevitable really, Valtra dealers have had their own versions of all the other Valtra models, bring them on I say!! :D

Thanks a lot for the info Andy, i've just noticed a better picture in the Toytrac layouts topic. I guess the info was in the Model Farmer topics somewhere but I was looking in the Siku section so no wonder I couldn't find anything, only just looked at my phone either Colm!  

I take it they're in silver and gold, but will they be available to non-subscribers to the magazine?

Hi guys, I spotted this in the corner of one of the Toytrac pictures (the one people were making up captions for). It appears to be a black or silver version of the Siku Valtra T191 but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere before. Does anybody know anything about it or can point me to a relevant topic? Sorry about the image quality but its blown up a bit from the corner of one photo so I can't improve it :'(

I would really appreciate any information about this model or where I could get one

Thanks

Not quite for me, I'd love to see a Super Q cabbed one done by uh

I won't be happy until I see a nice 1/32 Q-cabbed 7600 anyway :)

Will definitely be getting those new Valtras for christmas. I'm only buying Valtras at the moment and I'm finding it hard just to keep up with them!

I'd say your first guess is the closest there IH885XLman, its probably for 'Balers Choice' or similar, a preservitive that allows you to bale material that may not be totally dry, preventing it from going musty. It is especially useful with big balers because they compress the material so much that any moisture will have no chance to escape once the bale is made

PS Savage shots there James, the first one is a real winner

There's plenty of pics on the internet if you use Google image search

http://images.google.ie/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=zetor+10145&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&aq=f&oq=

including this interesting paper model

Finally here's a photo from my own stock:

Model is almost a year old (10/04/08)

It's a model for Hachette

Here can you find more pics of the model.

That makes sense now Atte, thanks for that

Well it says its 1.43 scale....

Actually, you're right, I just noticed that . Now I'm even more confused!! When did UH start doing these?
