16 mins to go and £41 am i missing something " mind you i have 3 on the shelf in the same condition " from my carpet farming days now i wonder could i be as lucky?

the britains new john deere 8360r looks like it has the wrong tracking on it ( loks like a rework of the 8330 / 8295r) hope the ertl version is more accurate even though it is the american spec model

there was about five boxed ones at penrith with the churns sacks nd bales at £12 each now wish i had bought the lot

more snow overnight and looking at travelscotland cameras i think ill cancel that trip to glasgow today

a good start to the year bill, and a good variety of different makes

would love to see the black feuchi released as the 5470 suits the black better than the grey, and knowing our luck with uh they would manage to get the chasis the wrong colour

ive booked the premmier inn at lisburn for the friday night so im half way to being at moira 2011 the only hitch at the moment is stena are only taking bookings until the end of september so i suppose i`ll need to wait a month or so before booking the ferry

try convo on here he has a wide range of decals available proper stickers not water slide so you get one chance to get it right

over the years on the farm i worked during the school holidays etc (430 acres) operated the following combines new holland 8080 , john deere 1085 ,john deere 1188 then the current combine for the last twelve years or so jd 2266, and the neighbouring farm with 300 acres operated a jd 975 for almost 22 years and in 2007 when it unfortunatly went up in smoke replaced it with a jd 1177 h4

by any chance would the guy in blackpool be eddie carter at e.c.toys and collectables in bond street, he has an excellent selection of britains, uh and siku, i buy quite a lot of models from him just wish he was a bit closer to scotland mind you he does items via the post and on ebay

its a limited edition of 500 models, according to a couple of .nl .de websites

ive been using the internet mainly for models as stockists seem to have dried up in scotland, i know wonderland models in lothian road edinburgh stocks uh/siku tractors and ertl cars etc in their range but not sure about britains, worth a try

its good to see that you manage to put out top quality models with the basic tools brian , and very interesting to see the tool list that you use for making them thanks for shareing with us

wish list for 2011 ertl jd 8360r siku 8345r &8345rt non control joskin single axle tanker ros new holland 7070 to match the blue power one uh t6090 mf dealer boxed schuco combine from north east agri models 2x stewarts grain trailers and possibly a silage trailer and another tri axle stewarts low loader and several more green machines

noel they look good models, hows the roof? and only one terracotta newholland are you feeling o.k.?
