it came as such

it is still in its box and i havent had it out

got home from a couple of weeks in denmark to find 2 nice boxes waiting for me ... 

box 1 contained a recent ebay win of a britains NH TM165 in a dealer box ...

box 2 contained 2 models that i got from a certain ( very patient  ) udimore tractor shop

NH T7070 blue power

and the imber ford 6640 4WD SLE

talk about a nice homecoming 

there was a version with wheels in that colour ... but it had dual wheels

a 1983 A team BA baracus figure ... still sealed on its card

* sees large expense looming *

britains elite john deere 6410 for the hammer price of £3

gotta love working in an auction 

awesome sister you got there, getting a RJN model for chirstmas is quite a gift! she married?

are you hitting on my sister ?  ... she has herself a partner 

No, no, no Derrick, don't say what your Sister paid for the 990 otherwise everyone will be as sick as pigs and want to commit suicide!    Now I've seen it I can confirm, as per our PM's, that it was an absolute steal and probably the best bargain you'll ever get!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

the detail on it is fantastic 

another 6 for you

problem sorted 

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

no its not ...  the guy i deal with goes by the name of shaun 

have you been in there lately?, was in the Cambridge one today and the selection has gone down hill!!.....now only the horsebox and range rover!

the TRU in preston stocks most of the new models ... i was in there today drooling looking at the models 

my name is richard and i am addicted to model tractors :of :of :of

just come over here and lay on the couch ...

now tell us all about it  ... 

i could make a joke about the trailer hating the NH and begging to be released ... 

the main thing is that nobody was hurt 

around 50 - 60 ... mostly older end britains

the 2010 cost is ... * looks at spreadsheet and has a minor heart attack * ...

just dont ask ... 

i get most of my older ones ( pre 2008 ) from a guy in blackpool who stocks pretty much anything britains

if theres a TRU nearby, they seem to keep a good stock of the new britains models

this is one that my sister got me for xmas

wright rain irrigation drum

twose transport box

landini 10 000s

the newly aquired fendt 615 LSA

valmet 805

MF seed drill

is it something that you need to book or do i just turn up and pay on the door ?

this tractor only has a green light and a yellow light  and there isnt a space for a red one

i have a origanal handbook that came with the tractor ... but again this tractor seems different

the wiring diagram has the dynamo / regulator setup ... this tractor has an alternator

could it be that you wish to visit a certain blue tractor building plant ? 

ive already visited it and seen the big blues being built 

back on topic since it went a bit off track ...

i have never been to the spalding event but quite fancy it ...

were the 25 jobs saved ?

looking under that seat ... the bottom is actually the plate you see where the bottom of the pan was has rotted out totally

ive found the wiring to ba on the tricky side too ..

i got a new lucas ignition switch and i cant seem to get the wiring to the green charge light on the dashboard to work right anyone got any ideas  ?
