tractorman314 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) So its that time of year again, when we all assend in to the loft to retrive the Christmas tree and decorations, so this year when duties were completed, it made me think itwas about time to make some inroads to getting my model collection organised and photograghed, so as to show it some daylight after some 18 years of collecting. This will though be a very slow process when time and money allow, and with the correct permits to be allowed some space to display my small collection. While i was in the loft i took a few photos to give a small glimpe of what is to come.My collection is purely BRITAINS, and i still have lots of the late fifties, and early sixties stuff to collect plus alot of giftsets still required. Heres some pictures to start with but dont get to excited yet. tractorman314 Edited December 7, 2017 by tractorman314 restore pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorman314 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) I have finally managed to get back upto the loft and have taken pictures of my first box of models, the box was selected totally at random , i have also notice on some of my models some form of corrosion on the diecast metal ,and in some places it has caused bubbling under the paintwork, this maybe due to the fact they may have been up in the loft for some 15 years or more. I would be interested to here from anyone who has noticed similar in there collection. So HERE goes first up a picture of box with lid removed. 9530 3 furrow mounted plough tractorman314 Edited December 7, 2017 by tractorman314 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughmaster Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Some nice ones there Good to see so many of the sleeve and plinth boxes still with the card fixings - hard to find; I particularly like the cultivator complete with the header card (I've been looking for one of those for years and haven't succeeded in getting one yet ). Interesting to see a black 'BTN 76' number plate on the lorry too. Looking forward to the next batch of pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tractorman314 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 I have just noticed the Iveco Flatbed lorry has the Magirus Deutz logo on its front grill and not Iveco, was this normal, or is it a one off ?. tractorman314.
