Valley Axe Man

Not really new as i only found them again after looking for something else..... lost amongst a load of others, but three double sided single sheet Doe Implement brochures

Like the tint on the last two photo's Martin, gives a bit of an age feel to them as if they were taken back in the day Nice additions you keep finding

Cheers Justin , would be alot more common with a cab, but no doubt there will have been plenty that have lost their cabs over the years to end up on a scraper or to fit under low sheds for bedding up. I know of a couple of cabless examples higher up the country and over the border into Scotland, a 270, and could be a 262 that were both converted to shell type wings to reduce abit of weight so the owner could trailer them to shows legally behind his Discovery.

First tractor addition to the collection this year so far..... an RJN export spec Leyland 272 Syncro, Brian expects to start a limited to 200 piece second run of these fitted with 34's abit later in the year once he's cleared a few on going builds and projects, one of which involves a tractor that he's tracked down in the Isle of Man

Nice bit of scenic there for the photo base John

Serious bit of building there John, She's looking well though and great to see her taking shape

A fair old collection your sharing with us Stan look forwards to seeing more

Good luck in the new job then Andy, Like David said it'll have taken abit off your shoulders now you know you've somewhere to go

This is serious stuff John! hell i said you were a dark horse and this proves that you've more skill than your letting on Fantastic build and look forward to seeing more

Tidy pair you've found there Martin you seem to be fairly good at tracking down good models at the minute. There's a same pair here but in the larger scale of 16th

You be hoping for a bit of frost then Martin.... get the spreader loaded up and away to the hills Nice additions to your collection too

See your keeping a busy there Smithy, but bet you were like a kid in a sweet shop when you finally got your Loadall

Cheers for all the likes and comments, aye still a handy bit of kit to have about in real life, sometimes a 6 or 8m tedder or rake isn't the best weapon to have and there's still a place for smaller and older gear about on farms that still has a good days work in it .

First purchase of 2018, picked up at Leamington by a good friend, one of Andy's PZ Haybobs, out of Ken Davies's own private collection, a slightly different version to the existing one that already lives here in the Valley, this one having been set with it's tines set down rather than up as on my other one. Cheers John i think Ken will know it's gone to live at a good home

Hope you get back to full health soon Smithy

Nice selection to add to your collection Justin

That's some haul Smithy........ you'll never be short of bed-time reading material now

Could very well be Martin.....

My mum has this one in her collection of old Britains, it came with a similar playworn E27n but the rack is cast rather than plastic, and sits on the E27n tyres

Yep... mostly the reason i like 16th Martin... it's easier to see Joking apart your building quite a collection of Blues, hope it continues to grow

Photo's look better full size Martin was good to get a sneak peek yesterday though. Cracking models

There's a bit of engineering gone into that mobile crushing plant Smithy.... bet it were an interesting project for someone when they were building it.

Nice Haul there Martin.... yet more "Blues" to your collection .... you need a big lowloader for the TW.... and get the full track and 7000 on her as a load

Did you buy anything to add to your collection whilst you were there Cyril?

That's a case of making hay while the sun shines..... or more a spread the S**T whilst the frost lays...... least you weren't sat waiting for a contractor Martin, you could get on and do when conditions were good for you
