What did you get from that order Barry? as I have not see any Renault and Cutters nor bobards

If they were specially comissioned, Im sure a fair few people are not too happy this morning and I wonder where farmmodels got the idea from. If anyone does get some, Il be interested in having 5-10 models please.

So were accurate diecast there yesterday Geoff? I noticed Martyn and Karen had the fergie so I assume someone must have given it to them to display.

Did the ones Karen Harris have come via accurate diecast?

So whats the deal with this model then? Dan what does it say on the box? How many were there?

Might be one industrial boxed, otherwise we have several unboxed. We are setting up today so will know by this evening.

We have several 135's that will be for sale on Sunday and Mr Martin is at it again.....(his name isnt Frank btw) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7018397321&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Older Powerfarm version ~ ?15-20 Older Standard Box version ~ ?10er Modern Version (recently discontinued) ~ ?5er

according to www.net-weather.co.uk, perhaps not \

Are they here then?

Was doing a bit of market research today while browsing for bargins throughout toy fairs local to me. Last week we had a stall at Spalding toy fair and amongst our array of obselete older items I put a few new UH items out assuming they would go well......I was wrong! I was amazed at the number of stall holders now stocking these UH models, particularly the fordsons and cougars, even the dealers whom for the past 5 years have been selling purely corgi or norscot etc I counted at least 8 or 9 stalls with the UH models on where as november 2005 it would only have been 2-3. Today was the same, 2 fairs (relatively low key) we visited I found 14 stalls that offered the fordsons. It was apparent the cheapest stalls were those whom have previously not stocked UH models, as we found fordsons being offered out at just ?24 - 26.00. The usual farm model dealers were around ?35 - ?40. How people can operate around such low margins, I'd love to know! Its obviously good for the consumer but this growing competition cannot be doing the overall market any good at all, and I can see it getting much worse, people are already pre ordering the upcoming spring UH models for 25% less than their RRP from these "corgi dealers" Another observation was the lack of Britains models, 2-3 stalls at the most stocking them.... \ I dont know what other people think about this but I find it pretty interesting to say the least! and as the subject heading relates to, the UH phenomenon clearly is out in the open now!

I had several 8330T collector editions but none of the gold edition. I had a chance to buy a gold one for 50 euros, but the seller would not ship to the uk :'(

Thankfully not too many people know how much an original marklin is worth, hence we managed to get the one in the picture for ?15 amongst a box of other items

Another interesting model from our collection,

Sorry that is a TW-35 in the box image, yes if you have one Im interested. Thanks

Does anyone have the ford shown in the top left picture for sale? I am after one of them, boxed or unboxed.

Not much is different, Obviously the show sticker on the roof. I think with these models, the trend is to have a model that is a nice example of the theme for the show rather than a completely unique example. Price wise around the ?10 mark.

Preview of the show model for the Spring Tractor 2006 Obviously the theme for this show is Ford Model will be available on the day, however will be limited in numbers.

another snow free day in south lincs

I had the same bit Dan in the one I took out of the box, couldnt work out what it was so would be interested to know too,

yes it does

Sorry Nigel, I did think it strange as they were not listed on the product list by ploughmaster. The source of those images had them listed as B N! my bad
