Valley Axe Man

And a couple more pics of the same tractor with a very recent addition to the collection, Classic Combines's trailed hydraulic ripper And a couple of the trailed ripper itself, a pair of mole plough legs are on the agenda sometime in the future

A Couple more pics of the Duncan cabbed County 954 coupled to Classic combines's 12 ton Shawnie Poole dump trailer (as featured on Andy's website)

The collection is also home to a pair of Blue beasts too....... DBP's County 1004 and 1124

Especially for you Joe...... A pair of Yellow Beasts....... a DBP County 954 with Duncan cab by Andy Sewell, that is the prime mover for my Classic combines Shawnie Poole dump trailer, A combination ordered and built in memory of my dad. A trailed ripper is also part of this set. Next to a another DBP, a County 1124.

My only crawler in the collection, a RJN Classics County P50, somewhere hidden away i have a trailed Ransomes 3 furrow plough to go with this tractor. Mmmmm that got me thinking.....

No probs Chris, i'm glad your liking them a few more to follow shortly.............

Cheers Erik, it's only the tip of the iceberg...... there a lot more to come. will have to try and take a few more pics later tonight

Thanks Bill........ well i was meaning to put rope hooks on the trailer...... i never got round to it yet though

Thanks John, Glad you like so far, and there a lot more to come!!

Cheers David, there alot more to come, although the photography isn't quite to your standard

Your some skilled bloke John them models are a credit to you. To quote a line from the film Waynes World "We are not worthy!" Fantastic collection bud!!

The collection is also home to a pair of Deluxe Cabbed 5000s, one on bigger boots, the other on standard

Next up a Pre-force Ford 4000, and a Deluxe cabbed Ford force 4000, alot of cutting went into these models, as the starting point were a pair of redundant 5000s, the rear wheels being a challenge putting the 5000 wheel centre dish in the Power major outer rim but it makes for a pair of models that aren't available off the shelf

A Trio of big booted Super majors, the white one standard UH apart from a front weight and power steering, the other two are recent convo's

Cheers Joe, there a couple more yellow beasts to come ( i'll just have to get them hunted out of storage)!!

Thanks David, Just wanted one in the collection that looked like it was a basket case.

A bit more modern is the Landy and ifor trailer, handy for those transporting jobs

Also down in the woods are a pair of power majors, one with a scratchbuilt loader, the other as a mobile power source for the log splitter and saw bench

Next up are the winch tractors of Valley Timber Services, A UH super 4 and Power major both with scratchbuilt winches. Its a rough life in the woods

The last Doe tractor in the collection started life looking pristine.......... but then after a little abuse and quite a bit of skill by Dan Higgins of Oranda design with his airbrush i ended up with one in "Barn find condition" It's a standard Power Major triple D under all the rust and grime

Next up a pair of Doe 130 tractors And a Pair of Doe 150's A Doe 170 and a Doe 180

First off i'll start with my 1/16th Doe conversions, all UH based and based on examples in Stuart Gibbards "Doe Story" book A Power Major based Triple D, and a Super Major based Triple D, A Doe Dual Drive (Prototype version) and Industrial Triple D, both still in build as need mechanical linkage adding for High-low-neutral selection on the front power unit. Will get finished this spring hopefully A Later all Blue Super Major Triple D and a New Performance Triple D

I've been a member of the Farm Toys Forum for just over a year now so thought it about time i got my act together and started showing some of my collection of 1/16th models, a mix of Universal Hobbies, Ertl, RJN classics, DBP's, My UH based conversions, and not forgetting my collection of Classic combines implements Hope you enjoy looking at my collection as i share it with you... feel free to comment good or bad. Unfortunatly i havent the space to photograph my collection altogether, so will put it up in sections.

Hows the planning going Mark.... Are you any nearer to working out a date for your show bud??

Something that not seen too often but different, there one or 2 locally to us on clamp duties. Good job
