Thanks Joe, yes I’ve made the stands but I forgot to drill the holes in the sides before I put it together! I remember as a boy helping take the container off the TK that my Dad used to drive on the farm with the poles and screw jacks at each corner.

Done this job with a Bedford tk then a TL,  the TL ended up being chopped up and turned into a trailer

Tractors have always been my main interest, but trucks have come a close second, especially when i was younger, so i thought I'd start a thread of some of my builds. First up is a couple of the Heller Volvo F12 tractor units, the red one is destined for a load of period IH tractors once the trailer is built! There's also a pair of Scania T cab kits from James, along with a couple of Ford D series that are part built, again destined for dealer delivery trucks. Anyway, a few photos to start off with

Nice red Volvo you have there John

Fantastic

It’s obviously not going to be paid and is a scam bidding war but why?

Hello David, how's things over the hill? I can't see myself being good enough or having the time to get too involved with that side of things, but even if i can learn to do a few simple decals it will always be useful tool to have

Things ok over here , only decal I’d be hunting for would be to convert a uh taarup chopper to a McCormick international  60 ( think that’s the correct model number , please correct me if I’m wrong )

They look a very tidy job Joe. With the information from James and yourself I think there's hope yet for me doing my own decals (well, the kids doing them for me anyway!) Thanks for posting the video!

You be the “go to man “ for decals if you manage to do them John 

Looking good John

I’ve been having a go at dry stone walling. Trying to avoid it looking too neat so it looks like it’s been up a long time but where I’ve cut the stone looks too new.

Looks champion

Did Ertl re-issue the above tooling on general release in different livery? The old casting below was done in at least three colour schemes I think. Still a smart tractor. 

I I have the original red one ,

Two slot car (or van) kits by George Turner. A tranny mk2 and a ford “popular” van. They came with everything apart from running gear. 

That tranny would make a decent service van 

Simply brilliant 

Simply amazing
