Indeed, in fact my father-in-law to be built the TM. He hadn't built a SCALedown kit before so was a little nervous and aprehensive, although in the end, made a brilliant job. As Mike said, there was an article written about the build in Model Farmer. Issues 5 and 6 I think.

Looks like an interesting event. A nice line up of machines there, particularly those big John Deeres.

You have the option jack. You just click the time the post was posted, e.g. Clicking '5 minutes ago' will take you to the last post in a topic.

Try uploading now Joe.

This may be a session cache issue with chrome then Peter as the link works here on safari and I.e.

I'm not sure. Their last precision model didn't do too well unfortunately.

There should be a link to go to the first unread post in the topic wil. Top of the topic box, right hand side.

This should be resolved now. Forgot to change the link.

Yes you can mark topics read by clicking the bubble next to the topics on the forum list page.

That should appear soon Mike. Just need to add a new group for accessing those boards.

• on the new forum i cant see the option of marking topics as read,is it still there?
  

Paul,

Yes it is, its a more detailed way but basically at the bottom of the forum, there is an option ' Mark Community Read '

This enables you to mark the topics.

Recieved the other day

Issue should be resolved. There may be some more disruption today, but I will try and keep it to a minimum.

Paypal is acceptable.

Hopefully there is something for everyone in the next sale. I have tried to gather a good mix of things

Here is my cat (can't have a dog because of where I live  ) She is called Indiana (more commonly fuzz bum or Indy) she is a Bengal and tends not to mix too well with my prized models 

Very nice. I wouldn't mind one of those to protect our other cat. There are 2 - 3 bengals around us and they are brutal!

It is not online only, you can visit the auction (held at springfields exhbition centre, Spalding) on the 31st and 1st Feb. 

I'm pleased to announce the catalogue is now online

Do autodrome do English instructions? I know the diagrams are quite good but just curious.

Best Wishes to everyone. Have a Very 'Merry' Christmas and Happy New Year    Ho ho Ho!

Probably £70 to £100. Going by recent ebay sales anyway.

Good to hear this is going ahead. 

Diesel Particulate Filters!

Pointless invention and a costly one at that!

Due to an unforseen issue with the venue, the next Farm Toy and Model auction will be on Feb 1st 2012. The Christmas Party season has unfortunately caused an issue for which there was no option but to postpone the sale.

The catalogue will however be available this week.

I have split this topic away from the main releases topic so this discussion can continue and new releases can be left for the new releases. 

Some interesting opinions being posted. I think as a collector, I can appreciate UH releasing what they are and in the manner that they are doing. I guess its only getting into line with what other diecast hobbys have been doing for years. What does concern me though is in 12 months, these models will be being dumped at 1/3 of their original value. For the excellent models that they are, I would say this would be a great shame as A) they are not doing the real machine justice and it devalues the values of collecting (if that makes sense). I can't help but think that a greater margin for the manufacturer would also be achieved if resources pointed torwards releasing 3-5 different tooled items at once rather than 3 - 5 identically tooled items. I also think it enhances the collectable nature of the products with enthusiasts being more inclined to purchase 3 - 5 models (from the same tooling) over a staggered release period of 2/3 years than if they were all released at once.
