The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Very fine collection of Britains tractors and machinery you're building up Dwayne, great to see the old Britains catalogues you have amassed too, they bring back some very good memories.

BRITAINSMAD Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 And some more! ANOTHER Claas Jaguar 690. I have been trying for ages now to get one in pristine condition so hopefully now, fourth time lucky, Ive got it! Looks pretty clean to me. Okay, so I know ive said in the past that Im a Britains man, through and through but Im starting to diversify slightly. I just couldnt resist because this has to be the nicest looking model Ive seen for a long time. Weise Toys Fendt Favorit 514C Kommunal Apologies to all the loyal Britains fans out there but I promise this was just a small blip! Its Britains from here on, I promise!!

FordTractorCrazy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 the last two seem to be a bit out of place between those "classic" Britains you have got there! You sure have displayed it really nice.. not to crampy. (like i have, due to lack of space which is quite common with collectors i have noticed ) Hope you'll come around displaying more of your collection as i think there are quite a few great models still waiting to be showed properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRITAINSMAD Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Need more shelfspace!! Many thanks for your comments @Will - I hope to set up another section in the room for everything else other than Britains. I dont like mixing the new stuff with the older Britains but unfort I dont have enough shelves yet to divide them up. When I save up enough for shelving I go and buy another tractor! One day I will though, one day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRITAINSMAD Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Sorry if im boring everyone here but I just got a few more pics to add. Its getting habit now that everytime I get another piece of equipment the first thing I do is picture it and upload to FTF! For those of you who still are awake... Be sure and come back next week for more goodies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmitemania Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Britainsmad, I think your pics of the powerfarm answer a question I asked when you said you had four boxed and I asked if they were the 8830 version, as it would be very rare to have four of those. Nice pics by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRITAINSMAD Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Sorry my man, I never replied to you! Youre right, when I went back to check they were all TW-35s. Apologies about that. To be honest I just noticed that the other one was a PowerFarm tractor and hadnt realised it was an 8830 - a model I didnt even realise existed! But Im learning all the time on here. I'll take a slap to the wrists and offer my apologies again. Thanks for the comments on here though! p.s. Im still very jealous of your collection!!

Marmitemania Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 No need to appologise I sometimes miss comments, the 8830 is a rare version of the Powerfarm and therefore worth more, the only difference is the bonnet decal, but as in the case of the Deutz Allis and the MF 590 also the american milk tanker, a sticker can make a huge amount of difference to the value of the model.

BRITAINSMAD Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 A couple more from this past week... more Britains! Ive had the NH for a while but just got the Massey from eBay to accompany it And the other Massey I have on display now has a comrade aswell - Corn King harvester. Not in the best of condition but it will do until I get something better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 nice additions there, i mustconfess i dont actually own a 760 combine yet, had several when young, but so far not found a good sensible priced boxed one to put back into the fleet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRITAINSMAD Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Many thanks for the comments. If you want more, I'll be only to happy to keep em coming! I think I have shown about 50% of my overall collection so far. TractorMan810 - That last 760 that I got was £20 boxed off eBay. Not bank breaking but you just have to keep your eyes open!

The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Some wonderful additions you have found for your collection Dwayne. At some point i'd quite like to add a Britains 760 to my collection, never had one when I was younger ( parents bought me a Powerfarm New Holland TR instead at the time ) and always fancied having one. Remember having the Dynapac roller when I was a kid but I somehow contrived to break it in two so my Dad disposed of the cab and engine and turned it into a roller to go behind one my tractors instead. Looking forward to seeing more of your collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRITAINSMAD Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Small update this time - Ive bought quite a few item this past couple of weeks but it seems Royal Mail are taking their time at delivering. I will post pictures when I receive them hopefully over the next few days. As well as collecting the older Britains, I have decided to start collecting a few bits of their current range as a local toy store just beside me hold a good range. Two of the latest additions are shown below - Case IH 210 Puma tractor - I got this to keep his bigger brother company which I bought a couple of months ago - the 310! NH T8040 tractor - First of this breed I have bought but hopefully a few more will follow in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 nice additions of the newer Britains. (actually one of the few better ones you'll be able to find from recent years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 No need to appologise I sometimes miss comments, the 8830 is a rare version of the Powerfarm and therefore worth more, the only difference is the bonnet decal, but as in the case of the Deutz Allis and the MF 590 also the american milk tanker, a sticker can make a huge amount of difference to the value of the model. Not forgeting the Heston Fiat. Boxes are everything here, I believe, as some are too easy to fake The Real milk tanker not so easy as you need a chrome or silver tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRITAINSMAD Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 A couple more additions this week, with more to come over the next few days... First off is a Fendt 615LSA Tractor in banded box Next up is another Fendt, this time by Siku/ Weise - 930 Limited Edition White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
