Transit gets my vote too, so much more maneuverable than a Vivaro and much more room in the back when comparing swb ones. The vauxhall is a pile of cr@p. I know as I drive one for work unfortunately. It replaced a Transit

Thanks Clive, had a search and came up with this....... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COLLINS-TELEPORTER-/330591458610#ht_500wt_969

Nice Teleshift, first restored one? What was parked next to it, in the same colour?

Also try here http://www.squirestools.com/ Don't know about a minimum order as I visit the shop

You have too much time on your hands Clive It always appeared, to a small/young me, that Britains never seemed to bring anything out Interestingly only three years when they didn't, the last occasion actually having something to release but choosing not to, wonder why? I take it that for '58 and '59 you used new lines lists?

The early green one The first version blue one, this decal also found on the green colour version as above picture These come with orange coloured tipping handles and land rover style knobbly tyres. Next version had a silver or bare metal tipping handle, still with early land rover tyres but as far as I am aware only in blue. These appear to have been available for only a short period before the tyre/wheel combination was changed for the less chunky ones as fitted to latter swb land rovers. I bought a red coloured trailer a while back with yellow wheel centres, possibly made at the time the autoway series was wound up to use up parts \ or possibly not

What type? how old?

Pictures please David. I bought a white plastic Ram that looks similar to the Britains lead Exmoor. The plastic is slightly translucent, and is also marked England on its belly. Someone did tell me it was some other make, but memory does not serve me well as to which make , most likely as mentioned by TBF

They are normally decked out in Military colours because they were built specifically for the War Office, for the last world war. WOT, I think, is an abbreviation of War Office Transport. Built as either WOT 1, WOT 2 or WOT 3, these being different weight classes ie 15 cwt 3 Ton or 5 Ton, I think. These were generally an off road carrying capacity, being for military use and equiped with chunky wheels/tyres. They are very basic vehicles designed to use then current chassis/drivetrain components with very simple cabs, mostly of single curvature or flat panels.

Try also Brian Norman, he does a replacement one for the Ertl JD. It comes in two parts, cab and roof, as used here................ http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,27892.0.html

By anti snipe do you mean those bidding sites or anyone bidding in the last few seconds? The rules are the same for everyone so what is wrong with last second biding? its not illegal is it? I nearly always bid, personally, in the last few seconds. I do not always win, but then NO WIN, NO FEE :laugh: With regards a "significant chunk of lost revenue" that's just greed rearing its ugly head as seems to be the way in this country. I know................................ you pays your money, you takes your choice

.............a lot of, ahem, interesting comments here The most ironic thing is that a model of the Union Jack emblazoned 3CX extolling Made in Britain is being made in..............well foreign parts. I don't know whether to or :'( The advertised price is £64.99.........

Karen had a few sets at Spalding this month

Farmmodels do some decent tyres for this. There is a topic on here regarding fitting these tyres I think, improves the look Early (first?) version of this model had rounded off front mudguards and are not very common. According to David Pullen they are narrower as well.

What about printing it on to paper and sticking this on to card?

How big is the DB Tim?

I believe a member on here has, possibly, a David Brown cardboard tractor kit/book..Was writing this as powerrabbit was posting, thanks for the confirmation Tim. The member in question was not you. Only thing I could add to this is the range of buildings Britains brought out in the 70's...........Farm, Zoo, Castle and Fort. Also have a flyer for a small Britains cardboard cottage, free on application, from the 20's I think

As supplied Instructions Reverse side of instructions Main body (296 x 250) Reel, radiator shroud, grain tank and elevators and other bits and pieces (294 x 250) Header, wheels/tyres..................love the tread (296 x 250) The driver is a little bit bigger than a Britains tractor driver. I have added the sizes of the sheets for any one who fancies a go. They are bigger than A4

More pages than my Ransomes one, only the three and not double sided but i do get a two dimensional man!!!!!!! What sort of size does this make?

I don't buy it either, why don,t you put the picture up on here?

There was a pair of the Vickers Vigor on eBay a while back, any idea what they went for?

These were still available, in unbranded boxes, in a toy shop in Chichester, a few years ago. May still be available! Also available with a front loader, various plastic implements and in boxed sets

I was under the impression that the Tractor Factory came with orange 5000's? There being one on EBay at the moment

Set no. 9592. This version from 1982-1985. Earlier version had an MF 595 tractor and a/some different implements
