drivelhead Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hello! I've found this forum and am very excited about it. I didn't know there was so many into model farms! I used to collect Britains toys as a child, but then grew up and had to do real life farming But now I see no reason why i can't do both, so I have just started collecting again with a view to having a huge lifetime work in progress set up. Really enjoying looking at the forum and seeing some fab farms and models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Welcome to the forum Emily, there are a couple of other ladies on the forum and I am sure they will be along to say hello shortly. If you really want to see how many nutters I mean collectors there are then keep an eye on the "Events and Shows" section and come along. FTF/Model Farmer are represented at most of them.

Deere-est Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hello Emily and welcome to FTF. Your user name would suit many people here!! :laugh: Just one thing though, I see you mention 'growing up'. .. ... . you don't fool us!! We have all tried to use that excuse but then when it comes down to it, we're all kids at heart and enjoy the farm toys now as much as we did in our younger years. Although you'll see now we call them . . .. .. Models. . .. just to try and sound more eligible!! :laugh: Enjoy the site, get stuck and like Gav said - get to a show. There are three UK shows coming up in Spalding, Lincs; Wincanton, Somerset and Penrith, Cumbria. Not forgetting the international one in Zwolle, Holland which many members travel for over. All the best, Tris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
