Was thinking about this show the other day, it's always been  something I'd like to go to     out of interest how do the regulars do it.  Do you fly and hire a car or do you drive over ?  How does it work for getting models back etc       would be nice to get a little heads up on how to do it 

goodevening Callum i travel to zwolle via the newcastle to amsterdam ferry , its an overnight crossing leave at 5pm and arrive the otherside at 0900 ish . and 530pm leaving holland , i make a holiday of it ans spend a few nighrs in Zwolle its great to catch up with many like minded collectors at the show and in the gotel after the show once at amsterdam its abouyt an hour and a half drive to Zwolle, i used to drive down to dover and across and drive the five hours at the otherside but worked out the more expensive ferry from newcastle actually worked out a lot cheaper in the long run than the long trip to dover 

looking forward to getting to holland again great place and great people

here are the limited show models for this years show the show model is the uh county 1474 limited to 50 models available on the day of the show and one is on ebay for those who cant make the trip up . there is also a limited number 10 of the newholland T6.180 heritage tractor as its the shows tenth anniversary these are available as follows  

1 will be for sale at the door to the first person who wishes to buy it .

1 is on ebay for those unable to attend to give a chance to purchase

1 will be a prize in the tombola 

3 will be in a raffle which tickets can be bought on the day for

and the remaining 4 will be in the auction at 12 pm so best of luck everybody

Borrowed a trailer from my mates at the forge last week and went with a mate of mine to his uncles farm and picked up a few brochures that a actually bought of him a good 6 months ago , been up the farm tonight getting them out of trailer as I have to get it back by Monday morning got to go and buy a few more plastic boxes to store them in till I get time to go thought them properly picked out a couple that caught my eye ,trouble is he reckon he has at lest two more pallet loads once he has gone thought his next shed

Smithy we will see you in Zwolle 2020 by the time you get that lot sorted out ,  good Haul tho

if it is him then its the same guys (itallians) who do the nh combines we posted, used to be right nextdoor to our stand 

yes I believe this is the same guy 

excellent additions Hajo keep them coming 

a nice addition Paul and I sense your 218 year is going to be more expensive than mine

Cheers Paul. Yes, trailers are very well made. Detail is very accurate. No doubt Brian will add to this thread and remind me who built it.

yes Paul you are spot on they are martins agri trailers ( martin Thomson) that built them great quality and detail and now glad to have them in my collection as we had a and 8 and 10 ton on the farm also had 2 x 10 ton dumpers which I'm still trying to locate pictures / brochure of to get models made  , Thanks to Chris for the photographs as this made the models possible

Can you imagine the size of the car, (van), you would need to visit a model show. I have seen the way you guys have to squeeze in to get back from Zwolle, there is no way you would get 1/16th models and people in the same car

i have my eye on transit connects for somewhere in the future so would be fine the bigger point Robbo is if I went to 1/16 where would dad go 

paul ive just had a chance to have a search through your collection must say impressive as I don't like 1/16 as you know but this would make me want to start collecting them ( run wallet run whilst you still have the chance )

Also had this one given to me as he sold me a 575 baler last year

 

Thanks Paul

great additions to the brochures Smithy

Paul I still collect as well currently have over 5000 brochures now but opted not to upload every brochure I have as not wanting to corrupt the forum , i.e. came home from Lamma with 370 new brochures which are now all filed and logged in the collection
