mr softie

this could be bad will be taking my camera everywhere now, think theres about another 50 or so pics to upload

whilst visiting bor to collect models he suggested that we went to a local vintage rally that was on that day, it was a wonderful day weather display everything just wish i hadnt had to rush home for the ferry, took pictures of the tractors but didnt have time to view the cars or commercials highly recomended day out, and many thanks to brian for a great day

managed to get 3140 loader set via ebay from america just to wait on it arriving now

another stunning addition , what a difference the flared mudgards make to the overall aperance

have managed to get all the pictures onto photobucket, better head to bed away to Dornoch at 530 in the morning

thanks bill will give it a shot, also have a lot of photos from kilbroney vintage rally in ireland 19th of june with a few interesting tractors which i will get round to uploading as well

i hope he`s at penrith this year, ive got most of my models listed now and photographed just need to figure out how to upload them on to the computer then onto the forum

what a stunning display of deere`s, the guy from dumfries with the john deeres will be displaying at lanark so will manage to compare a few notes and paul from the ribble valley club will be at penrith with his display

i hope jim agrees to the visit, as whilst helping with the harvest up until last year the farm operated four stewarts trailers and also have two tri axle stewart low loaders so it would be interesting to see the factory where built and as for the dates as long as i have a couple of weeks notice id put in a holiday form and enjoy the 2/3 hour drive up country

sounds like good old royal mail again, must say never had this problem from g and m but have experienced it from other mail order companies

after reading in the tractor and machinery magazine that the great eccleston show was having a theme on the 50th anniversary of the new generation john deere range i decided to head down for a look on saturday, after a 3 hour drive arrived at the show ground and got parked , was a bit dissapointed to say the least when i got to the vintage section to find only one deere their ( to make matters worse when i gott to the car park i realised my camera was still at home) the selection of vintage was good, had a wander round the few trade stands there was and spent an hour or so watching the tractor pulling, as i was leaving and walking past a marquee thet was labelled memory marquee i decided to have a look im glad i did in the back of the marquee there was a display of models by the ribble valley model farm and construction club with 3 farming diarammas and a collector from dumfries with his john deere models in all it made it a worth whilst visit for me

hi bill would be interested , if you can get a date organised ill try and juggle any work commitments that i have

have had several packages delivered from g and m recently, no problems whatsoever and usually within 24 hours of placing order

yes asher`s have the rights to the farming yesteryear, never tried ginestri`s ice cream but will give it a bash at ayr flower show as im their and so is one of their vans, will fill you in on one of your choices of ice cream when i bump into you next and i must say mackies honeycomb is excellent ( shouldnt publically say that about the competition ha ha!)

hi bill excellent pictures, on the comercial side www.ashersicecream.co.uk you will see pictures of the company`s fully restored and working 1957 bedford ca with smiths of gateshead body, one of which the family used to have six or seven in the 50/60`s the italian with the limp sounds like sandros from ginestris in stonehouse

well done bill glad you got a rossette for your cub, and im glad the weather held out for the day

an ice pack, think im needing to keep away from there shows added six fergies in three weeks

www.miniagripassion.be you will find the bigger deeres on here 4955, 4055 etc, 3040, 3140, 3650 also, 2850`s are still only specific scratchbuilds as far as i know due to the amount of work involved in the conversion to get them spot on , but you will find a few members on here converting them
