DUN DUN DUNNNN! Just gets better and better

What do you make of the senator ? As you make it sound almost as if it isn't as good as it should be ?

Superb9not that the cows have been stolen though), so many things no one else would think of

Great updates, you balance the two different scales well

I would expect a few more photos for that price

Regards

Joe.

Thanks Joe

@ Stabliofarmer; What do you mean with; What make are they?

I meant Manufacturer Sjonnie, I'm guessing its a Vredo ?

I hope that trailers got a new wheel, you can't exactly send a human off to the factory

Sjonnie incredible as ever, what make are they?

Joe very nice indeed, look forward to seeing her complete, what jobs would one of these brutes be used for ?

Sean that must be hell to make, just how delicate is it ?

Bay looking forward to seeing these finished, how many Frazer's have you made in total ?

You'll be starting your own topic soon Paul

Who's a lucky boy then, if only it was that easy to get free models all the time

Just found out in the new school that were having built their getting another laser cutter, a CNC lathe, a revamped CNC router and get this A 3D PRINTER !!! :D shame I'll only have 9months to use them all before I leave

Funny and different scenes as ever keep it coming

Yes its the magneto we've had trouble with with most of the engines we've had. A bamford which we couldn't fix the mag on, and another D that required a new one. This one just had a lose point in it so tightened it up and of she went I bet that speed indicators come in handy a few times.

To bring this back to the topic, also from the cheffins auction that I forgot to mention was 120 back issues of Tractor and Machinery magazines dating from 2000 to 2009 for the pricely sum of £5.

I'd love one of those miniature traction engines, what a fantastic hobby to be involved in.

It certainly is, although I wouldn't mind a real one myself. Our 3" is now over 30 years old. Dad drove it when he was my age when a neighbour owned it, it then sat in his front room for 30 years and two years ago it was purchased by my dad. We have since had a new boiler made for her and the complete engine been overhauled. Now we have this 4" we wont reappear from the garage for three years we think

Thanks Tim, the lister D after a quick tinker started and has a beautiful sound, it now starts on the first turn I must say I do like Fred a lot

Well she came from Redruth to Shewsbury with her owner then we picked her up and her she is at home

Theres a lot of work but with the 3" nearing completion it should make a nice winter project, for example the last picture is all the gears that are too be cut and those two boxes behind are the components to be turned down to make the running gear.

Another purchase this one from the Cheffins auction yesterday was this Lister D for the grand sum of £40, our second in the space of a year.

A half built 4'' Burrell road locomotive, picking it up tomorrow

This Phenomenally priced Britain's truck http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRITAINS-FARM-DEUTZ-FLAT-BED-LORRY-1-32-SCALE-IN-VGC-/121158019642?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item1c3594aa3a

There's the same truck but mint with the cattle box and its Card box going for less 

Passed my trailer test yesterday and got into Harper Adams in september. Good week

I'll be quizzing you as to what you think of Harper Adams as I wouldn't mind going there in a few years. What course are you studying?

Carpet farming at its best Alex keep it coming

That old shed is very good, something you'd find on most farms

Very well planed shed, some excellent kit you have about you too

Really coming on leaps and bounds now Alex 

We had around 2 hours of constant thunder and lightning around 10 o'clock this morning, was lifting steel up to the 4th level of scaffold and was tol by the site agent (useless b*****d) d to stop as the forklift and load would act as a lightning conductor, never heard so much rubbish in all my days, needless to say I'm still here, and I'm 99.9% sure the Telehandler wasn't struck... Taking health and safety to far I think.

Scaffolding would be more of the worry. When my dad was young he was working on a house on scaffolding when lightning struck, went straight for the scaffolding and blew a hole in the house I believe. Put it this way, me dads been terrified of lightning ever since.

Very good I hope there's nothing too wrong with the scania
