Yes Paul, I was pleasantly surprised with the Britains inter, certainly can't complain at half the price of a UH

Love the Britains mechanic - I've never that figure with the wheel intact :)

Thanks Mandy, do you know if that is the correct wheel ?

This arrived today. The latest G&M Originals, 1947 David Brown Cropmaster. This model is the prototype of which, once again, I was given the opportunity to own. Another cracking model from Martin and Ged and the latest of 4 D.B. models produced by them continuing the quality and build of all they produce. This model is limited in build of 150 units priced at a very reasonable £240 and orders are now being taken for those who wish to own one, be quick though, they won't hang around!

I bought a very nice wooden stable building, made by the same unknown people who made the farm buildings for Britains in 1959 & 1960-2 at the antique fair @ the B&W showground this weekend for only £20. Got it from a general antiques stand, and luckily the specialist toy dealer in the stand opposite hadn't spotted it!

Hugh Gardener of Hugar had a hand in it somewhere, but had closed down his factory @ Epsom by then, used it just as a warehouse, and was by then continuing in business by using sub-contractor manufacturers for his farm and model railway buildings. I've been trying to discover who actually made these buildings for several decades now, but after all this time can only say I'm pretty sure that whoever they were, they were based near the south coast in Kent or Sussex.
