James Joe Dewar

All that kinda stuff used to be available though Mania-CN Sean, I spent ages looking for it this morning, But it looks like they've reduce the amout of items they now make, They also had a whole load of different discs as well but all I could see were the ones on here via Universemini, https://www.universmini.com/neuf_liste.php?reset=1&rechercheLibre=&rechercheF=31&rechercheE=0&rechercheM=0&sscateg=0&page=1 Regards Joe.

Mark, I doubt these will be any good as I suspect your looking for smooth rollers, But just in case, here's a link to 27 metal rollers, https://www.collect-world.com/set-de-2-bras-de-relevages-noir-pour-renault-replicagri-18487.html Regards Joe.

I guessed you must bereal busy just now, Noy seen you around here much in the past. Regards Joe.

Thought I'd put this here as it might be useful for anyone else interested in the World of 3D printing, pleased and amazed how well this sketch / print went, I noticed when I posted the pics, there were 2 or 3 flaws in it, The wheel track was to wide, and the front hydraulic steering was a mess, So I had to figure out how to bring the rims in closer to the chassis without reprinting both the front and rear axles, I figured recessing the hubs would do that by letting them go deeper into the rims, The yellow one is an original, The black one is shortened, to improved the hydraulic cylinders / rams I made U shaped brackets with little dimples on the inside to act as pivots instead of the huge pins on the originals, Hope that might be of some use to anyone with similar issues. And I straightened the air intake, Regards Joe

I have a few 1/50th, But stopped buying them in about 2006 as they were getting too expensive, One of my favourites was the model of the Demag H485 520 ton Hydraulic excavator which at the time was the biggest excavator in the World, and worked just 30 miles from me at an opencast mine which is now the site of The Falkirk Wheel, Regards Joe.

Ah 1/50th scale, now your talking, always been my number one favourite, Ian at Cranes Etc TV did a very good review of the Liebherr LTM 1050, In Sarens colours though not Simpson's, Regards Joe. http://www.cranesetc.co.uk/library/wsireviews/02_1001/02_1001review.htm

Even although it is Autunm there right now, I'll bet it's way better weather than we are haveing,Enjoy the rest of your stay, Regards Joe.

Lucky guy Mike, Looks like your in the Hunter Valley region of Australia, Home to some of the biggest coal mines in the World, and certainly the biggest and longest trains in the World, If you get stopped at a level crossing with one you'll be there a while, Their over a mile long, ???. Regards Joe.

If you know mr softie, ( Brian Stewart ) he always go's to Moira, he should be able to help with travel details, and I believe he is organiseing the show this year, 230 miles from Cairnryan to Newmacher. Regards Joe.

Nice to see James (Braemere) releaseing a new model trailer at the North East Model show at Newmaher in May, A Marshall QM1600. Regards Joe.

Quite a few ground friction 8 bale accumulators out there Barry, but like you say, no Chillingtons,? https://www.bing.com/images/search?q="chillington+8+bale+accumulator"&qpvt="Chillington+8+bale+accumulator"&form=IGRE&first=1 Regards Joe

I noticed earlier that Pete and Sharon have stopped selling their decals and accessories, Baz at Udimore is handleing them now. Regards Joe.

Ah well, a D100 06 was the last tractor my dad drove before he retired, And that modern cab on that machine looks massive by comparison, Regards Joe.

Do you think that modern cab on that older machine makes the tractor look small, ?? Regards Joe.

Not exactly a different colour, although there is a slight difference here and there, But notice anything different about the 100-06, ?? Regards Joe.

According to some of the guy's on agraramodellbau, The 715 will be €160,?? Regards Joe.

You never know,Universal Hobbies do have the Bednarlicense, Regards Joe.

This image may be shopped, although it does look gen to me, and there were a few Quaddy's done in Steiger green, ERTL did a model of one, Regards Joe.

More photo's of the upcomeing 715 courtesay of FARM connexion,surprised they added the steel tow cable though, that's normally only fitted to tractors involved in scraper hauling. Regards Joe.

Universal Hobbies have made a very tidy job of the new Quadtrac 715, Available August apparently, Regards Joe.

Just for you Callum, and anyone else,, One Knudson 4400 Hillside, And One Agrisem Disc O Mulch 12 meter disc harrow, On a hillside although I doubt this combo would work on the hills of Palouse Washington, Regards Joe

That's the plan Callum. Regards Joe.

Cheers Callum, an awful lot of hours working in CAD went into that, But I've wanted a model of the Knudson 4400 Hillside tractor for many years now, And luckily I found CAD software I could understand, and just developed my skill's over the past two years, I think I captured the essence of the real machine pretty well, Regards Joe.

Praise indeed from a guy with your design skills James, I must admit I did sit back on my laurels after I had finished all the CAD work then printing the parts as there are some tricky angles getting the cab to mate up with the bonnet and then the rear fuel tank, But at least I had that diecast lump for dimensions, The axles and self leveling system had to come out of my head though, as the 1/64th model had no detail whatsoever and photos and videos of that tractor are few and far between, and not a lot of folk crawl under tractors to photograph the chassis, Regards Joe.

Thank youJan, the very first time I saw the Knudson was on one of the Profi videos I bought quite a few years ago now, This one Regards Joe
