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

Britains did a papier mache Haystack 144F, if you can find one

I wouldn't like to have to fuel it up, some big tanks on their. 175 Gallons and 120 mile range apparently!

There was an article, and front cover I think, on this in I think Classic Tractor or it may have been Old Tractor

A few from Toytrac yesterday

Deleted post, in wrong place my bad 🤐

more

Not too sure when this one is due out, so may be in the wrong place!

A few picture of new releases taken at Toytrac yesterday

A different farm model to the norm, look forward to seeing this completed. Would be relatively easy engine build if it had either a radial, Ford V8 or Chrysler multibank power plant. This would do you if you can track one down

I bought it of G+M and Graham said he'd only ever seen four in all his time in the hobby. Were you at spalding Paul didn't see you 

I made it there, eventually. You going to Newark next month? 

I don't know anything about these Northrops but have seen one before somewhere, possibly on here!

Perhaps but I'm a bit worried the fragile roof will get crushed if I'm not careful.

Can you wrap that in bubble wrap first?

I've got the stable building parts, animals and accessories in separate sealable bags as they wouldn't fit inside the box without falling about. If I'm wrapping it I guess I'll just have to have them loose inside.

You could add some bubble wrap to stop them sliding around

I sent a Britains Eventing set to Holland a few years back. I brought home some cardboard home from work and wrapped it around so that it overlapped either end. Taping it both ways with plenty of tape, which pulled the overlapping ends towards each other, possibly including FRAGILE marked tape and bubble wrap inside, can't remember for certain. It arrived okay

Ebay purchases John? I was watching some of these when I should have been buying them! I knew about the Ref No. 11, also no  price to front cover, 3d or 6d wouldn't mean much in the US.

I have a '70 catalogue Ref No. 11 Reeves and a '68 without a distributor address on back, presumably for all export markets. It came with a UK price list though.

There are UK and export trade wrappers/supplements for the '65 to '71 catalogues, as no Trade catalogues for these years apart from that unusual '68 catalogue I think I mentioned to you

I too saw the combine yesterday on the A303 whilst travelling in the opposite direction, between Cartgate roundabout, a pair of Fendts with drivers/passengers here, and people awaiting their passing on an overbridge before Ilchester

Only the wheels/tyres are by Britains, methinks

Definitely modified this one as now a mounted implement. 

The catalogue picture most likely a pre production model before final colour choice was made

 not sure what would attach there on the lorrys to be honest, dont have any 

There is a wire tipping assembly/handle for tipping when attached to lorry chassis

I thought it looked more maroon on the eBay pictures!

I reckon its from one of the trucks, they used the rear and front holes for tipping. Are there witness marks in those positions?

not seen any of the last type of 59f’s in this colour before though .new one on me , will get some pics up when it arrives.

I haven't seen one in this colour either only a brown one and a red 60F in Britains Civilian Toy Figures book so making a bit of an assumption. 

I was following this, but forgot all about it then couldn't find it! It's an age thing apparently 

It's the later style body as per tipping trailer, solid floor and slots for hay raves/racks, so potentially from the last type of farm lorry 59F, with lights in front wings. Doesn't appear to have ever been fixed to a chassis, but close examination will determine this for sure. A good purchase with the other items included. Be interesting to see when it turns up.

Thank you, that was very informative.

So I assume the green 6600 with holes for a roll bar might not be rare but is unusual

No worries

I wouldn't call it rare, others might, more a variation in my humble opinion
