Congratulations!, very nice and a great idea. Air shows are nice to attend. I am glad you are an aviation enthusiast! I have seen a few shows including ones with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds (twice) and a U.S. Navy Super Hornet, among other types of planes.  I also have a couple of diecasts, a U.S. Navy Skyhawk from the Vietnam War and a U.S. Navy Super Hornet by “Witty Wings.” The canopy opens on the Super Hornet.

I agree, the detail on the baler is great! 

Extremely nice layout!  I am impressed.

Nothing like a new diecast tractor. Nice color scheme. 

I like your tractor 

Really nice, thanks! 

I can remember blowing silage up in the silo as a teenager, always liked the smell. 

Very nice photography!

Very pretty equipment.

John Deere Model “A” 1:16 scale die cast from the World Toy Show. No year. Picked it up at an antique mall.  No other mfg. stamp. Actual tractor manufactured from 1934 to 1952. 26 horsepower. After some research,  it looks like it was made in 1992 by Scale Model Toys Dyersville ,Iowa. 

That is an awesome job! I really like it.

Very pretty with lots of detail!

Kind of you.

They are very nice to add to your collection, nice looking! 

I like them all, very much! 

Many a pig there, big ones, little ones. Will make good bacon one day. I like mine extra crisp. 

That is one nice looking tractor! 

Thanks, I miss the chimes from the steeple at different times of the day.  But sooner or later you just have to accept the fact that it’s time to move on. 

I am truly sorry for the family.

Here is a photo of an 18th century church which gave me many pleasant moments through the years as it is just a few hundred yards across from the backyard of the home I just sold. It was time to downsize. Age sneaks up on you. There are soldiers buried in the cemetery there who fought in the Revolutionary War. And many of the tombstones are in German engraving. A simply lovely old church which was wooden, then stone and is brick now with a few additions through the years. It is a United Church of Christ today. 

I have always had a philosophy when it comes to neighbors; it’s ok to try to be friendly, say hi, maybe chat a bit. But don’t get overly involved with them. 

Very nice work, very sorry to hear of your hand.

Lovely tractor! 

Belated or not, always great to get something like that, congrats!
