J.C.Bamford Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hi Everyone! I've just started collecting models in 1:32 scale. (finished my first project this morning, a silage pit!) I was looking at getting a Britains 3cx but by the looks of things, it's only got a standard front bucket and I"d really like a 4 in 1. Is it possible to get things like this? If so I'd also like a trenching bucket and a grading bucket for the back. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful. Thanks, Brian. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Keep an eye out in Wilkinsons and other 'cheaper' department stores as there is a plasticy 4CX i think, it's rubbish but has a working 4 in 1 bucket which can be retrofitted to the RC2 Britains one. As for back actor, there is a member on here who does them in white metal but his name escapes me. He trades on ebay too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 b s plant isnt it tris, for the back buckets?? think that cheapo jcb also lends its back actor nicely to the briatins one so you get the extra dig part on it welcome to ftf to brian, hope you enjoy it on here mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 That's it mate yeah. Forgot about the extradig arm on the cheapo variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C.Bamford Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Wow guys thanks for the speedy replies! Ill definately be keeping an eye out for that 4cx as a 4 in 1 and extradig would be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 any cheapo toy shop has them, or ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/britains-jcb-and-1-other-maker-unknown_W0QQitemZ270425821301QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN?hash=item3ef6a29075&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A10%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 the JCB you need is around £4 in most shops, Tesco had some in I've swapped the front bucket on mine to one the cheapo has but left the back-actor on as the plastic one is cr@p! Also have a nice set of buckets as well..... i'll get some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altrac Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Wouldn't it be good though if you could change the buckets on the 3cx - see if they put the same hitch on the loadall, 3cx, 416, etc, (like a Q-hitch) they could release a pack of buckets and stuff that would fit on them all, just an idea. I've always wanted a 4 in 1 for my 526S loadall for moving grain, 'cept one of the pins that the bucket hooks onto broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also be nice to use things like bale handlers on the 3cx!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
