Nice Pete!
Are you going to be bringing that or any of your other builds to Spalding
-
Indeed, it is a great milestone to reach and I think at the time, when the forum was started, we were only really aiming for a few dozen members.
Many thanks for the continued support and fingers crossed, further member milestones may be reached in due course!

This link should take you to a list of some of the B&B's in town, or near town
http://www.laterooms.com/en/p1301/pv233217s/k16303943_spalding-hotels.aspx?gclid=CNTQnOn-
Booking.com delivers further places but my own recommondations would be..
The supreme inn at Bicker, which is about 12 miles from Spalding. Rennovated and good food.
If you want a cosy B&B in Spalding Town, the Ship albion is very good. The Food and Ale are better than the rooms though!
Red Lion which is also in the centre of Spalding. Cosy real ale pub.
Other places include:
Travel Stop Motel in Spalding
Anglia Motel in Holbeach / Fleet
Eye Green Travel Lodge
If anyone wants any more info, send me a PM

Nice Paul! Such a shame Siku couldnt stomach the 2WD

Thanks for the post Bill!
I am sure someone will come back with some UH dexta measurements for comparison!
Cracking first post though! I have now moved this debate into a seperate topic.

There was an unboxed Ford 5000 sold the other day in pretty tatty condition for £640 (about £770 including buyers premium)!

I actually created a new board for BFA earlier today for such topics.

Dedicated topic for the Denzil Skinner Models produced in 1/16 Scale.
Nice models and what they lack in detail, make up for it in ruggedness and durability!
Nuffield Universal
-
My Dad came home with another Lipkin from a toyfair at the weekend. The Nuffield, but completely different type of box, plastic and more orange than deep red than the (earlier) other version. Will put some images up when I am next at the parents!

4. Kverneland Plough
5. Flat bed Trailer
Top 5 wanted..
1. Ford 5000 & Dumper Set (yellow)

Lovely brochures! I have started a bit of a county collection but none of those yet.
Many thanks for sharing, and welcome to the FTF!

Due to the recent problems with the server we are going to be moving to a new system in the coming weeks. The new "cloud" system will ensure very quick performance and greater capacity and should "hopefully" be the final upgrade required.

Having my break at Lord F's. A Big Daves breakfast roll later. . . I'm still stuffed, I don't think I'll eat for a week! Thanks Mr C.
Am on my home after loading four MF's at the sale ground. A 165, 575, 590 and a 675.
Ah! A Dangerous Dave! What a feed that is!

I would certainly agree the comments for Britains are generally quite positive of late from most people on the forum. I would assume this is quite widespread too considering the prices on ebay people are paying the new Case IH items! There will always be those who take a disliking to the Britains models, regardless, simply because they are used to higher detail items from other brands. I've spoken to many people at shows who express an extreme disliking to UH and Wiking too, e.g. too fiddly, inaccurate, fragile and too expensive. At the end of the day, people have different agendas when collecting, which is typical in any hobby, and good for it too, as it generates healthy discussions such as this!
I do think if there is a glaring aspect of inaccuracy on any model, we are entitled to voice an opinion on it, for any brand for that matter, too! For example, they are excellent models but I do think Britains could have improved the Case / IH tractors slightly by reducing that lever size in the cab. Its huge!

Well I'm a young lad and I got the best deal ever on eBay classic combines 1:16 5 piece zig zag Harrow for 1 pound 50 pence + postage
Well that sounds like a bargain to me!
-
Rarer version (I think) with the white grill. Have seen anywhere from £25 to £50 for mint ones. This was a couple of years ago though so probably £20 to £40 in today's hard times!
-
There should be no problem in matching the plastic in most cases. Although one colour which has always been a little tricky is yellow. The new JCB's could do with changing slightly, of which Craig agreed.
-
Not a bad looking trailer now.. Yes there are defflintly some flaws/Incorrect areas in it which I can see a mile off. But suppose its rare to get a model/toy thats 100% to the real deal..
Suppose it is only a mock up and probably not the final build so they could fix them, Doubt it tho
Blake,
If you list what you think is incorrect, perhaps we can do something about it.

I have been in touch with the big cheese this morning. It certainly is expensive, I guess as its derived from a real machinery show.
\ Will see what they come back with.

Brilliant Sue!
I had a similar scenario when a courier collected some items from us. Noticed they were model tractors, saw a magazine on the side and ended up going back with a set.
