Makes the money I paid for it seem like small change. There was no way I was leaving the Ijesselhallen without one mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Lovely additions David I must try & get my hands on the Replicagri Renault & Fiat down the line. Fraters TWs also look well.. I was contemplating getting the TWs from Steve ..but in the end I bought a 15 & 35 off the shop shelf & tweeked them myself. Are the decals on Steves TWs original Britains or his own ?? They seem better .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look so much better than the original ones Britains brought out, which I won't go anywhere near for my collection. I'll keep sticking to conversions from those three tractors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree with you, the entire model does need re-spraying for it to look even better, and there's arguabley a whole list of other accessories you could add to further enhance the Britains toy. That said, the tweaks that have been made to this tractor make it look so much better than the original Britains produced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 6 hours ago, MadMark said: Yes the tweaks do make it better than the original Britians, but there again if I took a dump on an original one it would look better its just to me it looks out of place with the colours. Mind you at least it is the model number it's men't to be as some of the offerings on ebay of late where someone has bought a job lot of TW15's and just put new decals on trying to make out it's anything from a 6710 upto a 8210!! At the end of the day if your happy with it then all that matters David, it's just me being picky Likewise I can be very picky and discerning at times when looking at releases from the major manufacturers, and converted models. Being a huge sentimental fan of Britains ( like so many people ) because of the childhood memories that remain from running an almost exclusively Britains based carpet farm in the past I was looking forward to the later Q cabbed TWs. I'd bought the previous 10, 20, and 30, that for a toy, looked OK, and I just know I would have been very excited to receive for them for my carpet had they been released in that guise back in the '80s. The later 15, 25, 35 they have released would look better if they were flushed down the toilet, let alone dumped on. I just know had the later versions been released as they have done now back when I was a kid, i'd have been disappointed. Steven's tweaks to them are a much better reflection of the carpet farming toy that Britains should have released in the first place, and they look great lined up together in one of my cabinets. If I want a TW with far more detail to sit in one of my other blue line ups, then i'm quite happy, and more than prepared to pay three or four times more than I did for the Britains conversion for a UH or MarGe model to be given the works. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
