Tractorman810 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 no sadly not may arround vintage wise, the odd new one like the stoll model trailed, or the couplke of self propelled ones siku have done, also some lovely verrate ones to, but they are very expensive trailed one is on my list to make sometime, really need one for my ash tree fm layout to be honest, got a few brouchures ready to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crawlerman Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) taken a few yrs but finally found a Peter standen single row tanker model ,1.32 scale ,I believe to be by dave towse, cracking model. A mk2 I believe, another model of his for sale . 2 row self propelled standen ...might have to get it!

CX820Joe Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I'd like to see more in the way of beet harvester models...a Standen trailed or the type with tractor skid unit. A 1980s Matrot or Moreau self propelled would be nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
