Here We Go Again,Nice And White Here Today Near Blackpool!!!

Very Very Nice Paul,I thought you always busy at work and had no time to build these models?But glad you have done these as these are top notch!!!!

Great Pictures Of Your Collection Nice To See Other Peoples Collection.More Cabinets Needed?

Britains never made this colour of drill.It has been converted to this colour by someone.The only made the maschio power harrow in orange.

Yep! Took me 3 hours from Preston to Blackpool.M6 and then on to the M55

Very heavy snow here north of Preston.

It will keep you fit moving all this snow?You would live up in the land beyond

Weight limit on the bridge would be interesting?Did someone watch you over the bridge or did you just risk it?Nice Pictures.Like the old International tractor.

No snow here by the coast.From were i live i can see snow from Barrow In Furness right through to Morcambe Bay on the Lake District Mountains.Looks very nice but a nightmare for working in and to travel in.Before you know it the topic will be The Rain Topic Again,To Cold To Work Topic.To Hot To Work Topic If We Are Lucky This Year To Have Any Sun?

Hi,Was going to A TOY Show but hurt my ankle in at work and is double the size and cant drive the van hence all the photos being put on the forum in my collection.Before anyone asks i did not fall in any snow as we have not had any near Blackpool and i did not have a drink!!!

Just started snowing at Blackpool.Just flurrys,

The set is not the correct set to begin with as the blue claas trailer should be in with the Ford tractor and not this yellow trailer.The Yellow MF 200 could be genuine or not?The trailer that comes with the fastrac set has grey wheels and the same colour tailgate as the body.The chassis are the same black.You could paint the wheels yellow and change the tailgate and add stickers if you wanted top dollar?Not the way forward though but if you wanted one maybe this is one way.Boxes are the same so maybe this seller is trying it on or not?1st look at the trailer though and it does look ok.

Hi Bill,Like this adaption of your rotavator.Might do this myself as i have one of these rotavators but we have escaped the snow at Blackpool but could come in useful for levelling soil out or cleaning muck out in the old farm shippen.Can tell how times have changed though as this would have been done by a shovel and not by machine or is it the old saying if there is an engine outside use it?

Hi,I have seen Pre-Production Massey Ferguson 2680 Tractor with a green chassis and engine and steering wheel with a red plastic body but was never produced like this MF595.The colour green is the same on both of these tractors.

Like the new buck rake and yard scraper and also the heavy roller on the trailer is something different.New tractors will always be a hit so better get saving up!!!!!!!

Hi,Here goes with this topic.As i young child i grew up with Britains farm models and i worked on a farm and i wanted to collect the farm models.On the farm we had Massey Fergusons and Fords.So i bought Britains models at the time that represented these tractors.Also we use to bale hay with a new holland 377 baler and bale sledge,cut the grass with a drum mower,rake the grass up with a tedder and use a fyson elevator to put the bales in to the barn.Britains in its 70,s 80,s hey day made a very lot of models that represented real farm models of that era.As kids this is all we had to play with was farm models,but also we had to look after them as if we broke them we would not get anymore so in my eyes you can play with the older models if you respected them.I must admit though that we did shoot the odd tractor driver with the air rifle off the wall!!!!.As farming as changed so have the real tractors and farm machinery so the manufactories have had to follow this trend.Also a lot of children nowadays dont know about Britains farm models or they are interested in facebook or computers.Even when i was 15 and 16 i still liked my farm collection and played with it.If kids of this age played with the models now they would get laughed at or called baby names.This is my view ? As we are in a so called bad times,it seems to be all about making money and models very quick but sometimes not good models.And changing companys and countries from one to another does not help.I will still collect the newer models but not a big fan! Hope This Helps On This Topic And Nothing Personal To Anybody Or Company.Only My View.

Hi,As a big collector of Britains farm toys i agree it would be nice to see the Valmets in different colours again.I do not like all this big farm machinery and tractors but this is the way farming is going.Britains in its hey day was a massive company but has been sold a few times over the years.Just shows you how good the ford tractors was in the 80,s as they are bringing them out again in 2013.Must be short of something to produce?

Picked some very nice old toy cabinets up to put all my Britains Farm models in.Will post some pictures soon.Came out of a shop that use to sell Britains Farm Toys in the 70,s and 80,s..

Hi,Britains bought,MF 2680 and Bauer tanker set,Deutz 110 with front loader and rear digger set,Deutz DX 6.50 AND Green round baler set,,Loads of loose Britains,Show Model.

Yes great Chinese meal and drink and very nice Chinese Staff!! Also a big thank you to the barman who gave me a load of free sweets at the Mercury hotel but it cost me a £40.00 round of drinks!!!! Great hotel and very nice staff.Thanks

Superb pictures.Looks even better second time round,Wish we were all still there Nice to see someone take pride in their photography.Thanks to all the Dutch and European trade stands who made this show possible.A great turnout of us English folks as well.A tremendous amount of work that went into the displays and money and was very well appreciated by everybody.And a big thank you to all the English trade lads and women who made us all feel very welcome.
