justy 46 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Another conversion ive been working on. Done this NH TM-140 using a Britains NH 8560. Just smartened it up a bit with a few extras,paint work & decals. The standard Britains model was very plain & i was always thinking of modernising it to a TM with more detail.

justy 46 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have driven a few NHs in my time from 7740s up to the last of the TMs. But i never really took notice of the changes in the roofs of NHs. I always tought they looked the same until my brother actully pointed out to me while i was doing this conversion ,that i sould change the roof. So he (my brother) has 2 playworn ERTL tractors ,a G240 & 8670 in the attic. So maybe i cold swipe a roof from one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdman Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 it is the first decal tm that has that roof. then that has the different roof no the early ones of that decal tm had that roof also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 no the early ones of that decal tm had that roof also So your saying Denis the change over in the roof style was in the middle of the production run of the TMs with my style decal.

justy 46 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 I changed the cab on the TM. And gave her better looking beacons. But ive seen loads of this decaled TM with the older style roof & lots of convo builds also with the old Britains roof. So whos right guys. Maybe the roof changed in the middle of this models production run. Anyway she looks a little better. Roof used came from one of my old ERTL NH 8670s.
