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. Agree David.. The newer TWs from Britains were abit of a let down . The first lot of TWs 10.20 & 30 were toys ..but good ones ..second lot were toys that would have passed for NewRay tractors.. Its always hit or miss with Britains ,but its acceptable when they are more toy producers . I collect every thing Ford & New Holland in 1/32 .. so I felt there would be a gap in my collection without the newer Britains TWs. But they are tweakable & simple touches can really bring them on a bit.. Edited February 29, 2016 by justy 46 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
