The show will be a week later due to Easter Sunday being the first Sunday in April next year. I believe this was the plan a few weeks back but I will try and get a confirmation.

Dad went on a spendng spree again last week and we now have a few more to show. Mostly military this time but a nice civilian ambulance is the pick of the bunch. Camera will be in action at the weekend!

Hopefully Massey wont change the real machine before this date!

Very nice Bill. Would you say demand for these agricultural / construction BFA items is increasing? Do the runs tend to sell out straight away?

Got to love those big 4WD fergies. I hope one day I have enough space to start collecting them!

I'm due a meeting with Craig Varley so will ask for an update on this issue. We were told it was in the process of being sorted out so will report any progress.

Where were those pictures taken? Do you know which farm they belong to?

It wouldn't suprise me if UH made the thing, shipped a few thousand to AGCO and said "here you go". AGCO then quietly ponder "Did they have a license for that?" I don't think it would reduce the collectibility of any of the high value models from BN, DBP and CC. They have a special character and unique feel about them (In my opinion anyway). Similar in a way to the older Britains models in comparison to the new ones. I guess the only thing that does annoy me is that its a french company churning out these affordable British classics in bulk, rather than a British brand!

This picture is stolen / borrowed so unfortunately is not mine :'(

Both very nice! 6 months ago I was not aware of so many different colour variations so has really ignited my search for further lorrys now to add to the collection.

I remember the day we bought the set at a local auction. It was heart pounding stuff, especially when everyone else seemed oblivious to what the set was! I imagine quite a few go through the local auctions un-noticed.

Sold at vectis Lot 3007 Britains - December 15th, 2005 Britains No.146F "Model Farm" Gift Set comprising of Fordson Major Tractor - dark blue, orange spud wheels, driver, another but with black tyres, Log Trailer - green, Plough - green, red, Tipping Trailer with Raves, Disc Harrow and Roller - conditions are generally Good to Excellent complete with 2 x instruction sheets, outer box with paper label is generally Fair but complete (has had some replacement cardboard in places - still a Good example of a hard issue to find.

Just noticed the muledozer not being in the set.

Probably our best ever find! I posted this couple of years back. I will get some more images at the weekend with the lid and label! I guess they may have done some with the side headlights too? The tractors in the set originally were identical, but in slightly worn condition, so have been replaced with better examples.

Very nice! I think there many have been some with the ddn in, Im sure theres a picture somewhere. Most had the FSM 5000.

I think it most certainly is a repaint. I think it cost £20 so we are pleased! The missing bumper is not correct either. I think Dad has recently bought an identical model, but more original so I shall post up a comparison as soon as I can. The 6 wheeler does not appear to have a wooden float. A couple more here now too Managed to find a boxed farm lorry this weekend, and a light blue version too.

Anyone able to post up a Siku / RC2 comparison yet?

Very nice sets! Look like they have come straight out the factory!

I have seen a few struggle on ebay. It certainly is a standout model, but wouldn't be the favorite in most people's collection, I'm sure!

Ok, so Dad and I have had a go, or should I say Dad has! Pretty good job I think for a first attempt. Really brings the box back to life
