Or seller bidding against himself to raise the price???

Perhaps this is why we haven't got our FTF Britains County on here after all this time... I note too the re-birth of the old quad trailer. Hmmm, delving into the archives to revive some classics are we?!

I had thought of that myself before I bought it but I have great faith in the seller as I have bought many items from him in the past and he has a wealth of Britains items as well as a good knowledge of what is and is not genuine. Im sure if there is a problem with it he will not hesitate in giving me a refund if i am not happy. I will be giving it a thorough examination when I get it and if its not up to scratch itll be straight back to him! If it is genuine Im happy to say that I have a fairly unique variation as well as the original grey I already have in my collection. I will also be keeping an eye out for the black casting too and any other variations I can find

I sure hope so cos i just bought it!

Model of the year 2011 and the year hasnt even begun?? How do they come to that decision??

Good man Derrick - keep 'em coming!

If you come along to the show on the 22nd, you both can fight over it!

And my stand at the last model show in Portrush

My latest purchase... im catching the bug again! Argghhhh!! Wiking Claas Xerion 5000

Derrick, it looks as though you have got a failry unique Centenial tractor there - most of the models produced had a grey casting, much the same as the plastic bodywork. In yours the main body colour is black. Its the first I have seen that and it looks like a nice variation on the original. Did you buy it like this or was it modified along the way?? Your tractor - My tractor -

Nice to see another Britains enthusiast on board - nice start to your collection there. Looking forward to seeing plenty more!

Great stuff - hopefully there will be a few more there than there was last time round!

Heres me with my Britains beside DBP! Anyone got any more pics of the show??

Show doesnt start till 2pm!

I am bringing along my collection of Britains 1980 - 1998 and hope to chat to lots of you there! Be sure and come over to say hello! Also, I hope to get my hands on one of those weathered 7480... she will be mine. Oh yes, she will be mine!

I love these machines - is this a reasonable price though?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-32-New-Wiking-Claas-Xerion-5000-Tractor-Dealer-Box-/230546773692?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item35ada896bc#ht_500wt_951

To all involved with or attending the show Im sorry to say but due to unforeseen circumstances I will be unable to attend the show this year. I had planned to have a stand here selling a lot of obsolete Britains models. Unfortunately I wont be able to do this now and I apologize to all for giving such short notice. Best of luck to everyone who will be in attendance and to the organizers of this great show. I look forward to reading good reports and seeing plenty of pictures over the next week. Dwayne

Im working at it this year. Never been but from what I hear its quite the show! Looking forward to it.

Ive heard good reports of the IKEA stuff. They seem to have a good range and tend to be reasonably priced too. A quick search brought this up - http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/categories/departments/workspaces/10410/

I spent over £3000 between Nov 09 - Apr 10 on older Britains 1/32 models. When i counted it up i thought it was time to put on the brakes so i haven't bought anything since.

Aww good stuff!! Glad to see you are still about Bill - i was getting worried there for a while! You get that shed finished yet??

I havent been on here as much recently because of work etc but i have noticed the absence of Bill Cruikshank posting (BC). When i was on here regulr a few months back, not a day would have gone by without some input from old Bill. Does anyone know what hes up to or if he is still about?? I miss his banter on here!

This collection will be on display at the next model show in the Magherabhoy House Hotel on Jan 22nd.
