jakescot Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 oh and a plastic copy of the siku side tip trailer, forestry trailer, siku cambridge rollers, siku forage wagon.......all similar but half plastic or all plastic unbranded and in different colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 It is a genuine Britains plough but as said, was one from one of the sets, something akin to the rear Twose type digger and post-hole borers, in different colours in different sets.

Hi If you take a good look at it you will see its not a Britains, the frame has a round support bar, the Britains version has a square bar.

powerrabbit Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 You could be right, should have noticed the bar. Lone Star also did near copies of britains implements for a short time, there is a silver framed with red plastic rotors Vicon Acrobat that Lone Star made, an almost exact copy of the britains one. This was in the era of the green box in the mid 1970's of LS I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was in the era of the green box in the mid 1970's of LS I think. I saw this for sale at Toytrac (though in green?), thought it looked like a Britains ripoff! Thanks people, I think we've established it was incorrectly listed as Britains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
