Where in the world do you find such items? Flebay, don't think so, you must have other sources ... can you share some secrets with us (or with me)?

When in a toy shop ask, you might need to take a brave pill first though 🙂

Nice. Not seen these before, a bit of thought gone into them.

These came out in 2001, have a flyer to show this. I will post a picture at some point memory willing!

@Britains Autoway-93  Nice acquisition there Sam, the packaging even harder to come by. Is the item on one of the shelves the catalogue holder? I didn't get this part with my example

@trigger82 Nice, what scale?

50mm diameter

Yes, 1997 only. I have this set, it too has the leaflet but not the sticker. I do have the Land Rover 9690 on its own though complete with poster and sticker. Again 1997 only. Will post a picture when camera charged up!

I'm going to stick my head above the parapet and go with 1971, but it could have been late 1970. Britains didn't do us any favours here with a dearth of trade catalogues between 1965 and 1971 inclusive. Instead utilising the customer catalogues with a trade wrapper/supplement. The introduction of the packing case boxes was noted in the 1962 trade catalogue! It may have been noted in a newsletter to retailers, I don't have anything in my reference material regarding this fact.

The seed drill, muck spreader and rotary tedder all came out in 1971 within straw boxes only changing when the chevron boxes came out. The last use as far as I can ascertain being 4708 Atcost farm building that was deleted end of 1995. Until the current crop of these buildings I don't recall there ever being any other packaging style. I stand to be corrected of course

This one paul although not the best picture 

 

Aye, that's the one. A bit muddy wasn't it! We gave up walking round the auction on Saturday, ground was sodden. A lovely stream in the car park too.

Acquired these last Friday, came from a wrapped pack albeit possibly opened as it contained 21 boxes which is an odd number for packing purposes I reckon? Corners are a little bumped but they are the best part of 50 years old and in  much better condition than my original purchase. Thanks JB

My original, used, purchase as also shown elsewhere in this thread

There was a Barth trencher in the field adjacent to the car park at Malvern. I meant to take a picture but memory wasn't willing!

That is lovely Barry, a lot of hard work gone into that for sure. Thanks for showing us the build process, makes it more interesting seeing it take shape. Is it standard plasticard?

@mike whiting thanks,  a bit larger than mine, your tyres are more realistic though

If you don't ask you don't get

  along with the ring press as per the previous images

Is it exactly the same as mine?

I thought I had posted this item as have had for some time. It is an A5 strutted card size as per a customer catalogue . Sorry not a great picture!

@jmd Are the first 6 moulded in the main colour of each with just painted boots, arms and hair? Never seen a white one before, must be a demo driver

Collected this today, same picture to reverse so an Isle Hanging Card methinks, it is quite big at 500 x 750 approximately. Presumably it is from 2023 as it shows the NH T7 300.

Not a lot about at the moment, I did acquire some plastic shelf edger's and a few card posters that fold not quite in half, one was better than what I already had, rest are surplus.

The 6 cylinder ones used some County components, bonnet and fuel tank being the obvious parts but I don't doubt they used other items.

I have this. It came from the late Brian Parkes collection, I believe he cast the rings for them.

Think I have something by these people, a trailed furrow press that folds up for road transport. Will try and get a picture up, memory willing!

They look an interesting contraption pretty straight overall just needs a few bits of wood and some new belts. Couldn't let it get burnt and weighed in

Nice to see something like this saved, a difficult thing to store I reckon. Not to much worm I hope. Carter Bros were from Billingshurst, West Sussex. I suspect the wheels would have been sold for a Shepherds Hut construction, can't be that much iron/steel in one of these surely?

This 3D printed Northrop made £200 on Ebay at the weekend.

That looks very nice, I never saw it on eBay, I might have had a bid on it!

Good luck with that, soon be back on your feet
