Massey Harris is the large scale (1:16) Lesney model, the 2 E27 Majors are Chad Valley, the clockwork ones. Malcolm Pegram is a plumber by trade I believe, he has produced some quite good 1:16 models over several years and he also has done some conversions of Chad Valley E27 and DDN Majors, mainly changing the rear wheels from rubbers to steel spud wheels, the last time I saw him with a stall was 3 years ago at Toytrack, the last one at Farmer Giles' and I think he was at the first Wincanton one.

He had a table at Spalding last week - The Massey Harris in ertleriks original post was standing on it!  Lord F also took a pic of it, although the man himself appears to have been AWOL at the time:

As for what he has done in the past, I am not sure, but his most recent employment has been as General Farmworker, and before that 360 driver and Lorry (Low Loader) Driver.
