fordguyderrick Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 im not sure if im posting this in the right place or even if im doing it right ( if not ... feel free to banish me to international driving forever ... a fate worse than death ) these are six of my dozen or so favourite models from my entirely ( apart from a UH ford 5000 ) britains collection .. thus the bamford baler the powerfarm TW35 with vari spreader ford TW20 with front loader ford FW30 milking parlour and last but not least ... my MISB renault TZ16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just the job Derrick... lovely items and all in the corect place too - you can go to the top of the class... * shouts in a loud voice * - Sean... back the international back into Bill's shed mate.. we won't be needing it today I'm a bit too old for Powerfarm stuff .. but I remember that Bamford Baler well... I'm surprised I didn't wear the tyres down on mine.. I seem to remember it catching the 'pickup bobbles' on the carpet fuzz mind you \ .. or was that the later red NH baler (Never was so chuffed with that one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordguyderrick Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 well ... im too young for the bamford baler ... * ponders making a joke about lord fergies age ... but decides against it * i dont even remember the red NH baler ... by the time i was playing with thses toys as a calf they had already changed the colour to yellow i had hours fo fun with the powerfarm toys until their untimely death at the hands of my tractor hating brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 can you get your brother to join on here please Derrick... just so we can be rude to him and give him a nipple cripple whilst standing on his foot metaphorically speaking of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordguyderrick Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 that was kind compared to how i reated at the time ... heres another half dozen ( not the favourite other half dozen though ) thus ... the only non britains model in my collection ... the UH ford 5000 JCB 8060 midi digger 1980s bauer slurry tanker and the updated version of the bauer slurry tanker transport box and loads deutz DX 4.57 tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Some nice stuff there Derrick, how many models do you have altogether? I see a Sisu Valmet 8750 in the background, does it have the early red stripe on the mudguards or the later brown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordguyderrick Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 its got the early red stripes ... but that model is the property of my girlfriend i only had it here to clean it for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorbob Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 a girlfriend with interest in farm models .. how lucky is that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james f Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Ooooh nice! That version is hard to find due to it only being produced for one year. I imagine the cleaning will process will be a very long drawn out affair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordguyderrick Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 a girlfriend with interest in farm models .. how lucky is that its taken me almost a year to get her to buy some ... ... she is starting slowly ... i think she has the fergie 3680 , the NH TN75DA and that sisu valmet its gone back to her today too all nice and clean so she is happy i didnt know it was only produced for 1 year either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick henton Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Your a lucky guy derrick having the other half share the interest nice looking collection you have there i have quite a lot of vintage britains although mine are mostly unboxed which is a shame but i had them given to me so cant complain.

fordguyderrick Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 she doesnt really share the interest ... but im working on it i always buy my britains boxed ... i think they look better that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick henton Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 they do mate i agree with you there and they are worth more as well but i was offered a load just because he wanted rid of them so i would have been a fool to turn him down i think :D . i do have some boxed britains but i mainly collect siku and nearly all of them are boxed. As for your girlfriend get her signed up on here she will change her mind i think :D Regards Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordguyderrick Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 she isnt really one for farm models ... so getting my GF to sign up here would be like asking a dog not to bark just out of curiosity ... has anyone ever heard of a model of a DB 990 implematic by a company called RJN ? my sister said she saw one in a shop yesterday and did i want it for xmas ( naturally i said yes ... well it is a DB ) heres another 6 of my britains thus ... a massey ferguson gift set britains golden centenary 100 tractor sheep dip kemper crop header marston silage trailer ( green ) farm buildings set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRITAINSMAD Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Derrick, it looks as though you have got a failry unique Centenial tractor there - most of the models produced had a grey casting, much the same as the plastic bodywork. In yours the main body colour is black. Its the first I have seen that and it looks like a nice variation on the original. Did you buy it like this or was it modified along the way??

fordguyderrick Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 that is an origanal ... for it is MISB and its one i got from a very knowledgeable britains guy who bought it when it was in the shops back in 1993 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
