Hi All, Well I am a newbie, first post, having just started a new collection of farm models. I got into it after seeing the Clarkson's Farm TV series which took me back to when I was a youngster, when with a friend we started an agricultural contracting business borrowing farm equipment from the family. First tractor was an old petrol/paraffin Nuffield (10/60?), then a Fordson Super Major, then a newish (in those days) John Deere, working in Essex, and Northamptonshire (UK). The business didn't last very long as the family wanted their gear back, so I went to work for another contractor in Northamptonshire for a short while, before heading in other career directions. But I remember those days very fondly, and think tractor driving was the most favourite job I ever did. So, I just had to buy a another tractor. Unfortunately, the tractor I wanted now was about a quarter of a million pounds new, so I settled on a Britains 1:32nd scale model (or two) which was much more suited to my budget. Then I saw the Siku radio controlled stuff, and became firmly hooked on a new hobby of farm modelling/collecting. So that's how I am here. My future plans are to maybe build a model farm, and adopt a bit of stuff from my other hobby, to perhaps cobble together a 1:32 tractor with DCC Sound (digital command control). I have all the bits I need from my model railway box, so let's see if I now have the ability. I will let you know if I succeed on here, but don't hold your breath for anything exciting... Anyway, hello all, and thank you for letting me join. I forsee future fun and interest. And wow, there are some amazing collections and pictures on here. Andy7 (Yes, another Andy, sorry).
