I have been collecting models for 30 years or so in a small way ..i have about 500 but that includes some 150 plant and machinery ... I try and collect plant and tractors which are mint and boxed only..britains, conrad, nzg, dp, scaledown, brian norman, mosly but i have had to cut back a lot in the past 5 to 6 years ...even losing a bit of interest as i have drifted back into collecting quality brochures of 70s 80s tractors ....have a small collection for 30 odd years ...200 brochures or so which has expanded a lile...for me it is the classics which i drove....i like to attend the shows and look but of course like many of you on here i can not resist the model of a tractor i drove in my youth...the real joy for me in collecting for some time now therefore is a quality top spec piece ...just a few thoughts
