A sad and ignominious end to what was once a very smart Scania

That didn't happen to be an 04 plate and recently painted?

UH 1/16 UH 1455XL 

yes, your right.....i saw the latest Ford Conversions video.....thought they would have featured more of the 1474/1884s

Well there was only one 1884 parked up and two 1474s working which as you rightly point out weren't featured, still a good DVD!

God that seems an eternity ago, what a cracking day!

Nice old bus, look forward to seeing it make some progress! Is it mechanically right?

Thanks Bill. In honesty over the last two years it has done much less, brother has bought a Case 5130 turbo for most of these jobs now, in 20 years tractor technology has moved on......makes it a tough choice to go back to the County

A tough choice between the County and Case anyway!!!!!

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!  Has someone photoshopped the exhaust and for a bit of fun hidden it underneath the pre cleaner?

Schuco cleverly remove items which could get lost and place them in a bag for safe keeping!

Typical, get my hands on the 1455 today and then they release one with the later front grill.

Is the 1255 exactly the same apart from pre cleaner and grill?

Are they likely to introduce a later 1455 aswell??

That's what you need Richard!!!!

I need a lie down..........

I will be adding one of these to my collection for sure, but can't help thinking they have stuffed this one up as well. The cab proportions look all wrong to me, the height between the wing/bonnet level and the roof is too big. The low height of the cab was this tractors biggest failing when they were launched and was never really sorted out until they went to the new cab on the MX series.

Do you think they will be doing a 'Plus' version? It might be easier to modify that to a limited edition or Pro version??

For anyone who was caught on the M6 today around the Wigan area I am sorry but we had a rather delicate recovery to do.

A car towing a horsebox overturned but thankfully the horses on board were not badly hurt, although they were very stressed.

Unfortunately, some idiot drivers were going past and blasting their horns as we were getting the animals out which absolutely did nothing to calm them down. >

Was it down to bad. inexperienced driving??

It was the Marge County.

Buying from overseas can always be a worry. I'm pleased to hear your problem was dealt with professionally and it was a satisfactory experience.

Very professionally Tris, haven't had that sort of treatment in the past! H

I just wanted to say how pleased I was with the service I received from one member on here. I recently made a purchase from toyfarmer1 in Belgium and after it arrived damaged, not only did they replace the model but paid for me to return it. I was unsure of buying models in the rest of Europe but with the help I received from T-Toys I would gladly buy again!

Has it gone far?

I see there was only one as the tinwork was just placed on it later, not a bad result at £9.3k considering it wasn't a runner!!

What a sad day, going to be tough for you! Have you got the serial number to add it to the County register? Is that another County in bits at the back?

I sadly cant make it, if anyone going can look out for a Norev Dominator I would be very grateful!! Thanks H

120 Euros, yet its retail here was £60-70? I assume I may have to bit the bullet if I want one.........

try karen and steve harris @ farmmodels they may have 1.they are really good to deal with.

Thanks, but nope, none there!

Bid one up in France to over £100 last week, why I didnt just buy one when they were about I do not know...........

Been looking myself for ages, expect them to be over £100 now, eBay might be best best!
