I've just changed over to ubuntu Linux from Windows 7,just to keep everything the same as my Laptop, Regards Joe.

You could make your own backdrops with that Sean, just need a big printer, Regards Joe.

Just recieved this today,and I have to say excellent service from G&M Farmmodels,I bought this yesterday afternoon at 14;30,and by the time I got home from work today at 15;30,it had already been delivered ?? :) This just has to be the very best ERTL model I have ever bought,the finish and detail is fantastic,even down to the Commins "C" logo on the bonnet,you can just about read Cummins on it, 8) Regards Joe.

Thank for your interest John,but I've already swapped out the tyres/wheels on her,I put the wheels off this 100 ton class Komatsu WA900 on it,I just don't think wheel loaders suit agricultular style tyres, Regards Joe.

This wee cracker,big thanks to John ( unkelfergus ),now I have a tool capable of loading my TerraGator, :) Regards Joe.

That wee gem should help lift your spirits after your recent mishap John,very nice that is, Regards Joe.

Definitely summit wrong,I never typed CTRL + Q to Enable/Disable GoPhoto.it, wherever that came from, Regards Joe, PS it took the best part of 5 minutes to type this.

CTRL + Q to Enable/Disable GoPhoto.it Anybody else having "issues" with the forum today,nearly have the text I have written today have taken several seconds to appear AFTER I have typed them,also several words are now underlined that I never did,seems to occur after you've typed a certain number of words,weird, Regards Joe .

Absolutely excellent Peter ;D Regards Joe Great show yet again ,this show brings a bit of something for everyone and well worth the journey to visit or attend as a trader ,i think it is fair to say and all you who attended will agree there was a vibe about the show and this has been the case in the previous shows. A big fat thank you to all involved in bringing this show together Brian , Andy and Bill not forgetting family and freinds who helped out to The show model went down well I think they lasted about an hour befor been sold out ,been the first agricultural farm show model out of Scotland has got to be a land mark in its self . Thanks to all the returning customers who came back and traded with me ,now I can speak flewent Scotish the communication barrier is no longer a problem the only problem I have had is when I went to pay for a take a way to night and they looked at the Scotish £20 pound note and said they weren't having it ,,,,at some point the shops down here will realise that the Scotish notes are acturly worth a tad more than Monopoly money ,,,, Any way we stopped off at a distillery on the way down today so I am going to enjoy a few we tipples tonight at £80 a bottle I will be sipping it instead of drinking from the bottle with brown paper round it ,,,,

Your not wrong Paul,overkill for sure, Regards Joe.

Nice haul there John,I too made a couple of purchases on Sunday firstly this absolute gem from Peter ( convo ) And this will probably be my first buy that will never come out of it's box,the first North East models show commemorative John Deere, Regards Joe.

Any of them found guilty, Regards Joe.

It's a Tiger Moth apparently, destroyed by fire in 1971,restored again in 1999, Regards Joe.

Finally after many years patiently waiting,( I put this box up over eight years ago ) I have two B l u e T i t s making their home in the nest box just outside my kitchen window, I think this is the female,she looks to be heavy with eggs, The pictures are a wee bit hazy,as I have mirrored plastic film on my kitchen window to prevent the birds being scared away when I'm at the sink preparing food, Regards Joe.

Happy birthday Tris,not to many Westons though, Regards Joe.

Is that the " new " Cat Yellow Mark,if it is you should be able to get it from Finnings Heathill Dumfries part No TC 1094, http://www.finning.co.uk/about/locations/Default.aspx Regards Joe.

Reward is a 14ml tin of green paint, :laugh: Really tough call Brian,John ( jdc ) and I gave it the once over when I got it home and really one is a good as the other,I would have to say the U H version is slightly better detailed,like it has brake and clutch pedals whereas Martyn's doesn't it also has gear levers,on Martyn's version the red upper part of the bonnet,where the MF badge is, that is V shaped whereas the UH one is just more of a notch,but the UH one tapers it's wider at the front and narrows as it comes along towards the steering wheel,plus it has working steering and Martyn's has not,PS couldn't write priZe as that only works in upper case, Regards Joe.

Bought this yesterday from Graeme at G&M Anybody spot the difference,Universal Hobbies / Martyn Reeve,?? Regards Joe.

Last Thursday I think it was,I saw a Massey 6000 series baleing last years straw,?? Regards Joe.

Thought they we recalled Paul, Regards Joe.

Ah,I suspected as much,now 575,that's one of my all time favourite numbers because of this Hughmunguss beasty I have two 1/50th scale models of this machine,one R/C the other static,you can see the R/C one here http://www.youtube.com/user/catkom3/videos Theres also a rather dodgey video of my R/C Deutz X 720 with rear mounted dozer blade,I'll try and discover if there are any more 1/16th scale ag models by Townley Wan Hoo out there for you, Regards Joe.

Cheers for posting that forager Paul,I've known about T W H for a long time,never knew they made 1/16th agricultural stuff,loads of 1/50th, http://www.cranesetc.co.uk/library/indexes/twhreviewindex.htm but never seen that before, :of Regards Joe.

Well that's strange Bill,we had a good four inch's ( 100ml ) yesterday, but it rained through the night,and it's almost all gone now,BBC weather say's sunny and 6c this afternoon, Regards Joe.

All the very best Brian,hope you have a good one, Regards Joe.

That's looking really good Sean, Regards Joe.
