I made it there, eventually. You going to Newark next month? 

Must have missed you think we left about 12.30/1 ish. Hopefully will get to Newark might see you there 

I knew Martyn had made some out of UH 5000 so thought it was one he'd done, someone else has had a go then. Like you say proper weight, front hubs and decals would finish it off but it looks a decent enough job though. I may have some spare decals if you want some but i'd have to check my spares box

Very nice that, i have one built from a UH ford 5000, i bought it from G&M earlier in the year but would like to alter it and make it correct as few bits not right on it

Cheers zac although it's a bit crude it appealed to me because it was britains based and being built by the apprentices it has a bit of history. Yours looks like a martyns farm models one possibly.  I built one a good few years back based on a britains 

Also off goodie three mccormick product guides for our Matt 

off ebay a Portuguese 40 series brochure 

Deutz and dump trailer chevron decal on trailer

I don't know anything about these Northrops but have seen one before somewhere, possibly on here!

I bought it of G+M and Graham said he'd only ever seen four in all his time in the hobby. Were you at spalding Paul didn't see you 

Few purchases in the last few months 

For the transit collection a couple of DHL transits. I'm led to believe these were done by britains specialy for DHL but I'm not sure does anyone know?

for the autoway collection a deutz and dump trailer. The trailer has a chevron decal instead of autoway decal 

for the road series collection 

safety trailer with chevron decal 

pipe trailer 

dumper early dumper with no decals and the box has the ce and bs markings on the left 

for the new holland collection 

T6.175

T 7.300 BLUE POWER

for the catalogue collection 

1966 with no price on the front and just the britains address on the back 

1969 with no price on the front and the american distributors address on the back 

My brochures from spalding all off goodie (cheers Graham)

40 series comparison booklets

and a Goodyear tyre brochure with the britains on

My spalding purchases 

Britains ford 8730 with pound off sticker 

britains 5610 with dutch special price sticker 

britains conversion to a Northop. Now I saw one of these at spalding quite a number of years ago but didn't buy it and made enquiries after the show but it sold. So when I saw this I had to buy it, apparently they were made by the apprentices at Northop back in the day. Does anyone have one in their collection?

I'll be there

No many folk stick at one place that long Paul its nice to be appreciated

That looks smart, how did you do the black mudguard extensions have you used a cab and floorpan of the 60 series

This was last week ,could not get combine to top as just dug in ,had to go across slope to get back to top and cut a section all downhill 

I thought you might have a bit better weather than what we have here in the north west Smithy, but it looks very similar a bit moist 

That's a mighty fine line up John, stunning work as always
