Planning is underway for a few of us to go to this show, it is only around an hour from the ferry port at the Hook of Holland so easier to get to that when it was in Zwolle.

is anyone else from FTF planning on going?

Hi Robbo, yes Goodiestractor hope to be there. We booked the hotel when we were there last year, hopefully the hall won't be quite as warm as it was last time but then it is a little later this year which helps It is a very nice place for the event.

Hi everyone.   I'm looking for a 1:32 scale britains puma cvx police tractor to add to my collection.     Does anyone have one for sale please? 

Hi Mark, I may know somebody who has one what is the going rate on these today as they are very rare as the box say there were only 50

Happy belated Christmas wishes to you all and all the very best for a successful collecting year in 2024

While I had digger I dug a trench about 25meters out from ditch and put a pipe in and stoned it 

Smithy you will be doing Les Cotton out of Business

Having been to the Show this year yes the first day was good for us (  Goodiestractor  ) and it did seem quite busy at times and bloody hot however the 2nd day was less busy about half the attendence of the first day.

Having spoke to Tonnie the main man on the Sunday, he told me they would love to go back to November but Its out of his and the Clubs control as the Reptile company - show have the dates tied up. But there is increasing restraints on that show and if they give the date up the LCN would go back to November and hopefully 2025 it could happen.

I must say we had a fabulous time with our dear friends David King and his lovely wife Leona and the two young Spalding model tractor show organisers & special friends Dan & Kerry, who have picked up some ideas for Spalding MTS at the end of September, please do your best to be there to support them.

On a downer it was a big pity a lot of friends and members on here could not go because of timing, that however comes with a bonus you didnt lose weight because of the heat in the hall, and you have all saved money for Spalding.

Happy days we hope to see you there GT

Would love to attend but not feasible this year due to the time of year it's being held. Hope you have a great time over there. @Goodiestractor 

Hi David, yes it will be a shame that most of the UK regulars won't be there to fly the flag I fully understand the timing is not great we wanted to go because we think if we didnt get in this year I dont feel we would next as it we probably be over subscribed next year as the venue is smaller

However we will fly the flag for all you lads and a do believe there is a few others going from the uk David Mr Britains Pullen, Marty Reeve and maybe Chesnut Minatures not sure about Mr Softie I hope so.

Safe trip to all and please say hello if you do go, or just come and buy a brochure for charity Goodiestractor

Goodiestractor all booked in, not sure because of the timing how well it will be attended. I'm expecting less stall holders and collectors as said before because of the timing.

However we will report back on the event, sorry to hear Robbo your not going but we have the same happening next year with our daughter but that will be in July, I hope it all goes well for you.  

Morning Barry send me your phone No and email and I will send you some Images later today

Regards

Goody

Bought these a couple of weeks back now only picked them up a few days ago 

Smithy it's begining to look a lot like Christmas, I guess a present to one's self. The boxes look nice turn them around, hide them up and Julie will think you have her or four of your fancy ladies some Milk tray chocolates

CaseIH 5120 maxxum was the 4 cylinder 90 HP which was the nearest size Tractor to the CaseIH 1494 which was 4 cylinder 85 HP turbo charged.

I Think the 856xl was the nearest because I'm sure it was 85 Din hp and the 1494 was Din 83hp but this is open to debate Mr R

A few photos from Spalding, the first few taken by me and the later ones by David the "Tractor Twitcher" although he probably won't want to put his name to them as I asked him to wander round using my cheap digi camera so the quality if not great.

First up a few from 7am as everyone was setting up including a slightly bemused looking Goody who looked up just in time to see me taking the shot

 

Cheers Robbo, it was good to see you even at that time in the morning, before the Tea kicked in. I think Colin and his helpers deserve a round of aplause for the excellent show they put together. I would like to thank anybody who bought from Goodiestractor and look forward to seeing you all again in October. I thought the whole event was well attended and it was a pleasure to catch up with smiling friends and like minded collectors, with the same collecting Illness as the rest of us. 

Goodiestractor are going please come along and say hello, who knows we may have something you could be Interested in.

It's good to be going back and pass on thanks to Colin if you see him, he does put a lot of time and effort into it with his family

for the enjoyment of us all.

We're driving over to the Alps mid December, I will report back on what the customs process is like then. There's normally some nice Pisten Bully snow groomer models available out there so we'll see if they pick up on them on the way back. Obviously a car packed like Mr Softie is going to attract more attention than one with a couple of models in the boot! 

Good luck James please keep us all posted with your trip developments.

mm kind of hard when you buy un boxed stuff, like i do for variations, boxed is a problem then . i dont take stuff to sell like that, so outs not a prob, coming back i recon its a wing it and see ,cant honestly see any one at Zwolle, doing receipts  with vat removed ect . in fact  i don’t  think i have ever seen a receipt given out there in any visit.  going to be an intresting first trip over ,prob next year , if it goes ahead 

In my case I thought about saying I am just going to swop brochures as they do that in Zwolle, but they may get stroppy about that even. or I have thought about saying it's a collection and I'm taking it for someone to consider buying, whatever it will probably be a pain in the arse.

It has been a wet and horrible morning so I decided to have a dust and reorganisation. Also in readiness for some impending arrivals that have been on order since February, more on that when they get here.

First I emptied the glass cabinet, the Dinosaur panel at the back was from Goody at Zwolle in 2019.

 

Looks good Robbo, it's a shame we cannot go to Zwolle this year I hope you are all keeping well.
