Who is the maker? Do they have a website? -

The back wheels of the UH 65 are perfect for a Massey 65 digger, otherwise, the Scaledown is the business. -

Castlebridge could be getting a Steyr 6280 very handy if the T7.300 doesn't turn up before November -
Can someone rename this thread to the proper format.

A 12.90 combine and two different 1290 big balers.

VKM Ford 8600 2wd Very very expensive, made of resin, very detailed Rear wheels too small, very fragile (every time I touch it something else falls off) Took a long time to decide to buy it, but very glad I did. Another 2wd 6 cylinder and an important gap filled in the Ford collection -

MarGe D844, D944 and 8130 SK2 Expensive, very detailed, finicky, link arm damaged on D844, no drawbars/trailer hitches, front weight is a pain. Definitely display models rather than for carpet farming. Glad I bought them, will buy the 8120 2wd as well. Would have preferred a D125 or D135 over D944 -
Yes, he has just done a new run of the 990 on 14x30 rear wheels

Disappointed with the Steyr 6150 as it is based on the old NH T6 with the even older T5.110/115 rear wheels and the 2 point hitch (instead of the much nicer wheels and 3 point linkage from the T5.130/4130) Big opportunity missed. (Note to self, track down some 4130 rear wheels from a conversionist to transplant onto the 6150) -
Keep me posted as well. I missed this and I missed de Courcey.

They did the Steyr variants of the TSA and TN back in the day, so not beyond the bounds of possibility. UH are doing the Steyr variant of their T7.300 too.

Beautiful. The Imber 40 series weights spring to mind. I know David Purdue had those older wafer weights for his conversions. Not sure if they were original or from SCALEdown. Actually, I think I have a set of them that I got from SCALEdown a very very long time ago and they were individual so you can make them whatever width you want. Check with Nigel. -
I'd love if they did a 2wd 6 cylinder Renault

Are the rear wheels modelled on 34 inch or 38 inch? -

Universmini do a couple of different A frames that you can hang weights off. They also do weights from different manufacturers. -
Thanks for that.

They were sold by McGees of Ardee back in the day. Not sure if they came in fully built or came in kits to upgrade 4 cylinder models

Blue and white collections are always the best collections 😁

Finally got the T6.180 Methane, along with the MF510, a WELLY Mercedes Actros, ERTL Peterbilt & Lowloader, KUHN merge max, Wacker Neuson and Yanmar track machines, the MB Trac flavoured 4220, and at long last I managed to track down a red Pacton flat trailer. Just waiting for the T7.300 to drop and that should be my lot for the year. -
It is interesting that the 340 is only available as a CASE and not as a New Holland or Steyr.
