CMB Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 I like the back drop or ploughed field painting in the background i realy like and ohhh those lovely 60s and 70s pices :of :of It's a watercolour my grandad painted in about '79/80. The location is near Hemel Hempstead where he used to live. They do make good backdrops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 The yard scrapers: (I think this is all the Britain's scrapers isn't it?) Grays push-off buck rakes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMB Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 I forgot I had 2 595s boxed, here they are: They represent early and later versions (early metal links). I also have unboxed a MF590 and dual-rear 595 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMB Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 And my new lbw Series 2 Land Rover alongside the other two I currently have. Notice the wiper on the older grey one is removed on the later blue but there is more detail immediately below the window on the later toy: I'm thinking of replacing the missing rear number plate on the more complete grey one with the one from the broken Landy. I think these were the only two colour variations released for the farm series (apart from the zoo and military models). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super6 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 LWB Farm Land rover also comes in khaki. Picture/s to follow The first versions come with a different wheel centre and also a different suspension with longitudinal springs as opposed to coil springs, compare your last photograph. This necessitates a different chassis casting and front wheel steering mechanism along with plastic seating rear inner tub moulding. A member on here has, I believe, a green farm land rover as per the military version. Easy enough to make your own, although costly, with replacement decals and other spare parts Number plates and other LR decals here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRITAINS-LAND-ROVER-NUMBERPLATE-SET-Chrome-Silver-on-Black-3-variations-/221318991001?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&var=&hash=item3387a3cc99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those stickers are good reproductions but I prefer to stick to the originals however tatty they may be (this generally goes for most of my old Britains although I might make an exception for a single MF135 wheel rim, the original having just fell to pieces without any encouragement from me).
