FordTractorCrazy Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 your welcome buddy ... i didnt know either of the existence of the backhoe, although i had strong suspicions that there would also be a version due to the backend of the tractor model being very similar to the Cragstan's.. I also got a new additions for the Versatile part of my collection. A long sought after model, didnt come cheap, but with this one, i finally have the series complete! Versatile 900 - 1:64 C&D Models, limited to 1250.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stehos Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The C&D models are nice models, not a lot of detail, but with the twin exhaust very nice to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fendt Fahrer Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 CRAZY is the only word to describe your ford collection . its just incredible all the models you have . too bad UH are not thinking of doing the Bidirectional in 1;32 scale. Of course I would like to see some Versatile UH models, especially the 276 as I now have the 1;1 version on my farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 @Markus : i am with you on the bi-directional front, although i'd rather see a sturdier model by ROS for example, would also love to see a TV6070 in 1:32! well, i haven't sat still and bought a few more additions to the collection this ca. 1:20 scaled Fordson Major by Minic, i already had one, but that one is of a much lighter blue color! i bought 3 color variations of NewRay's attempt at a Ford TW-series also a nice old 1:12 Cragstan - Ford 4000 industrial backhoe loader from New Zealand and a color / decal variation of the Ford New Holland 8340 by ROS bought from "Stehos" and finally this very rare Blue Metallic NH T9.670 made for the USA Trade Show 2011 in very limited numbers (even more limited then the gold version) <sold again> This model might however leave my collection as well as all other T9.xxx , T8.xxx and T7.xxx variations i have presently in my collection(all limited editions) as i am too fed up with all the new models being released and wanting to keep my collecting affordable and most of all a reachable goal to complete my collection. Furthermore i have developed over the years a keen interest in scratch built models made by Dave Purdue, Brian O'Reilly, Brian Norman, David Goodburn, RJN classics etc.. and would like to expand that part of my collection in the future as well..

Fendt Fahrer Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Will, think about that one again. There might be a point in time when in the future when you complete your Ford, Versatile, Fordson collection and you wish you had held on to the NH stuff. I know I am not a big fan of NH either. I wish Ford would never have sold out to NH. Maybe you should just not buy everything NH for now and concentrate on the older stuff and then when that is complete you can jump right in to the NH collecting......again Of course its your money so this is just my 2 cents. If ever you need something from America or Canada and they wont shipp to the Netherlands, just let me know. I will be glad to help you in completing that amazing collection of yours.

stapelopfordson Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Good to see that you also found your Blue Metallic NH T9.670 ! I already read some messages about this version on the dutch forum, where did you find it at last (in the Netherlands.....)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 wow, this gathered quite a bit of dust.. about 10 months of purchases behind, of course leaving out the regular stuff, so should be not to many posts before i am up to date again.. think i didnt update again when i went to Spalding, so the first 10 or so, are Spalding 2012 (April) purchases. starting with probably the best purchase of 2012, really glad i was able to add this beauty to the collection: 1:16 DBP County 1124 Pre Force in smaller scale also from DBP - 1:32 County 654 and 754 and another nice DBP in 1:32 is the County 1162H i also added to the collection and a strange looking creature, a Maxwell 10-series Ford in approx. 1:25 i'll try to catch up with the rest later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 @Paul : i probably have been longer at it (especially the 1:16's) but yours is special in it's on way with your customs and special scratch builds! as promised, more of last years purchases: Roadless 95 - Dennis Goodburn/G&B Models 1:32 thanks to David aka Walterderwent i know i have 2 more to search for in the roadless collection.... Britains New Holland L85 - 1:32 - the light brown version, thanks to mr Purdue Another buy i was really pleased with last year was again from mr Purdue. a boxed example of the Bourbon- New Holland 1500-series combine (ca.1:43) and the big boss Andy brought me some models i won at the M&M auction earlier in 2012. It were LKE products of Denmark, Ford 6600 in blue and green (1:32) . The only 2 colours i knew to exist, but later on i discovered another color and that model also found it's way to my collection: more to follow later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stehos Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hello Wil, great to see you back on the forum again with some nice additions. It's always good to see the DBP tractors from your collection. Hope soon some will join my fleet also . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 @ Paul : yes i do have the NH 2305 self propelled forage harverster and am very pleased to own it, hopefully someone will build a 1900 in the future as well, it is on my wishlist.. @ Sjaak : limited time, but i do my best to catch up here. Hopefully you dont have to wait very long to get some new DBP models for your collection. I got the above last April. At Spalding April 2012 i also received 2 Tomte Laerdal Fordson Dexta's in approx. 1:25, 2 colour variations i didnt have yet: red and orange in the Ford tractor Promotional models department i added a plane from First gear. it's a Bellanca Skyrocket in 1:44 also pleased with my very first (but definately not my last) RJN Classics model a 1:16 Fordson New Major and an incomplete but until another good example shows up, it will do, Joustra Ford 4000 in approx. 1:14 been making long overdue pictures of a large selection of sets that i have in my collection to put on my website (mainly Britains and Ertl). i'll try to add them here as well soon.

Valley Axe Man Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Mmmm a 1900....... that would be a nice model to complement the 2305 Wil, both of those machines live on the same farm not far from home. Glad you like your RJN, and by the sound of it there a few more that you would like to add to your collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehos Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Wil, Joustra sounds dutch (or friesian actually), but where does it come from? Did they make more models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 @Sjaak : JOUSTRA = JOUets de STRAsbourg (toys from Strasbourg), it is a French company that was specialized in tin toys and was founded in 1934, think they still are in existance but dont make models anymore. took some pictures of various sets i have in my collection. pic 1 shows most of my Britains sets, pic 2 shows mostly Ertl sets and some sets from other manufacturers. These are definately not all my sets, but some are to large to add (1:12 Ertl and Hubley sets) or are somewhere on my shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
