James Joe Dewar

You might be in luck, Just found one in France, https://www.yomacarmodel.ca/search?q=NZG+1%3A32&options[prefix]=last Regards Joe.

There are other work platforms out there in 1/32nd scale Cyril, I take that back, I've just noticed none of them are available now, https://www.msw-modelle.com/en/find-scalemodels/?module=findMatchingArticles&q=Genie Regards Joe.

IF there was enough interest in Doncaster and other UK style tractors, There maybe a cottage industry for someone to produce those sorts of models in 3D, The advances in printing is just mind blowing, especially in the R/C standard gauge of 14:1, Most of these are fully functional with working hydraulics etc, https://www.facebook.com/groups/148940497799847 Regards Joe.

Something like this might be of some use there Paul, Superglue debonder, Regards Joe.

Pardon me butting in here but isn't there something in this lot that might make a reasonable donor, I'm not upto speed on the IH brand, but I like them as when I was a nipper, my late father drove a B250, of which I have a model, then as a slightly bigger nipper he drove a B275, And quite some time after that he got a 674, the best looking tractor I think he ever drove, https://www.farmmodeldatabase.com/en/models/search/international/all-manufacturers/1-32/tractors/page9.html Regards Joe.

I should imagine you now know what, "Aye aye loon fit like means", Can't wait to see all the photo's,'specially John's dio, I've heard that is something special, his dio of their new property at Viewfield Portsoy. Regards Joe.

Did anyone get photo's of John Cranstons diorama of his farm at Portsoy, A thing of beauty I've heard. Regards Joe.

Yep same here, then getting a million volts up your arm flipping that kill switch onto the spark plug, Regards Joe.

Fantastic display as always John, As a kid I was alway's fasinated by the fancy ratchet mechanisam for lifting and lowering the elevator I operated that many a time in the early 60's. Regards Joe.

Hope you have a great day tommorrow James, Wish I could have been there myself for all the craic, Hope you remembered your Doric dictionery, Regards Joe.

One Terragator around these parts is unusual of, But two must be very rare indeed, The none Bredal I've seen several time, But the Bredal is new to me. Regards Joe.

Just seen on Facebook, These models will be auctioned off at the Northeast model show at Newmaher next weekend. Regards Joe.

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.
