powerrabbit Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 why do you keep these items in the box,i know its your choice and fair play to you but surely its better to get them out and display I keep everything that comes in a box in the box to preserve the model. I already have around 600 models 'on display' and have no more room for display. You should see the rest I have piled up in two rooms and running out of space. Thats the trouble with having a small 2 down and 3 up house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Deutz dx110 8 wheel, e-27n fordson 2nd edition, fiat 880 4wd brown, 6 logs for old timber trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hope you didn't pay money for the logs CMB, they're easy to make from a Sycamore sapling. My latest purchase, Britains straw boxed 12 churns from 1970. From eBay for 99p. Another seller had the same 'item' on a 'buy it now' for £21.

Erm not much no My latest purchase, Britains straw boxed 12 churns from 1970. From eBay for 99p. Another seller had the same 'item' on a 'buy it now' for £21. Seems excessive! How do the old churns differ from more recent ones (if at all)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The new churns are a very dark grey colour, deep slate colour, whereas all the earlier ones were a more silver colour. I'm not sure if they came in an earlier box but this box is reddish orange with black writing with the wheat stalks each side on the front panel and has a window. Later ones just canme in a celophane plastic typr bag with a label on it and I think there were 6 churns in it and not 12. The sacks vary as well. early ones were rubber, like the bales, a bit squidgy, and were a pale grey colour, later ones are a darker grey and the new ones are dark blue. I've got a box of the early bales coming any day soon so when they arrive I'll post up a picture of the churns, sacks and bales together.

Deere-est Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 The old churns contain penecillin and the new ones contain milk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I remember years ago an uncle of mine found 6 loaves of bread in one of his churns, the baker forgot to tell him when he delivered the bread that he had put them in the churn. Best thing we found with milk churns that they were a wonderful form of communication, all the dairy farmers used to pencil messages to one another in the under side of the lids and one in particular sticks in my mind, 'meet me behind the cow shed at half past nine'. Whoever it was meant for knew who it was from. Swapping short jokes was another favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other sacks I've noticed: beige late 70s (1741); chocolate brown released late 80s/90s? As to the churns (are we really having this discussion? ) I think you're referring to the vehicle loads sets, yes?: http://cgi.ebay.ca/1979-Britains-Plastic-Vehicle-Loads-Churns-Sacks-NOS_W0QQitemZ220476619344QQcmdZViewItemQQptZToy_Soldiers?hash=item33556e3a50&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.
