Its peterborough show ground mike. I agree, the chainsaws were very interesting. A substantial collection I am sure.

I am sure several members managed to visit the show over the weekend, but for those who didn't, here are just a few images of the show. There was an impressive steam contingent present

These two seem feature at auctions from time time, but have yet to see duplicates of the ones posted previously. We have had a look at them and they do not appear repainted.

Thought I would kick start this topic. Dad and I are starting to gather a nice collection of these lorries now. Not sure if they can be classed as farm, builder, or military lorries! Unusual colour variations nonetheless.

Haha, yep my bad!

Just merged the two topics Atte.

I'm not sure yet Tris. I suspect it will be the usual one. I am a little suprised they didnt put the mirrors on this machine though?

There are not many left now from the FTF allocation, so any additional orders will be added to the waiting lists. For reference, this is the original machine the model is based on.

Welcome to FTF Austin. Its always great to get collectors of other scales here so I hope you enjoy your time on the site. Any questions, please feel free to ask!

If you have submitted the form, then you are certainly on the list Rieko. Final confirmations will be sent out closer to the show.

Form is now online http://farmtoysforum.com/index.php?option=com_mad4joomla&jid=3&Itemid=53

I did Mike. Unfortunately I do not have any control over that website but hopefully it will be changed when its next updated.

There are some very early prototype shots at www.spaldingmodeltractor.com Since these, a few changes to the beacons have been made due to tooling problems.

I will stick an order form on the FTF home page this evening for people to express their interest. Then when it is closer to the show, these will be processed as orders.

The theme for this Autumn's Spalding Model Tractor Show is Mercedes Benz, and to commemorate this, the show model (for the first time and thanks to FTF ) will be specially produced by Siku. Since the theme for the show is Mercedes, a 1/32 MB Trac 1800 will be on offer, finished in a kommunal / municipal theme. There are other notable changes from the original Siku model, to which Siku are only producing 500 units for the show, and on the day they will be on offer for just £25 each. Due to our heavy involvement in this project, FTF will be given a significant allocation for anyone who wants to pre-order the model, or is not able to make the show (and interested in the model), of which orders can be taken closer to the show date. Otherwise, any members planning to attend can pick their orders up, hand in their pre-order reciepts and pay on the day. On the day the show organisers will be dealing with the distribution of the model, but they will be under clear instructions on how to handle the FTF pre-orders. If you have any questions, you can post them in this topic and I will try my best to answer them. Images of the forthcoming model will be posted as and when they become available. Many thanks Andy

No more details at this stage Mark. Just appeared in the latest news pile at FTF HQ. I should say a press release will follow shortly

That should have sorted it.
