Andy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I'll be there with an FTF Model Farmer Magazine stand and my Dad will be there with his stand of models new and old. Its a cracking show. I think the theme this year is John Deere and Lanz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Cracking first day at Newark. Must have broken records for people in on a Saturday. Hope your batteries held out David! Agreed Andy, absolutely brilliant day, so many highlights. From Gary Marsh's magnificent display of John Deere model tractors, the very impressive Blue Force stand and many more rare and unusual tractors beside. Most of which I caught on camera.

Jdeere6910 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Had a good day today, had a catch up with David while he was snapping away at a very large collection of JD models. Both me and Andy have decided we want a John Deere 8430 after seeing a lovely restored example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Weather helped the day, Andy? So mild for a November still isn't it?! Look forward to seeing the photos and reading up in Model Farmer about the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Had a good day today, had a catch up with David while he was snapping away at a very large collection of JD models. Both me and Andy have decided we want a John Deere 8430 after seeing a lovely restored example Enjoyed catching up with you Patrick and many other familiar faces, had a brilliant day. Must say I thought that restored 8430 was absolutely stunning and what a treat to have that tractor aswell the older 7520 and 7020 articulated tractors located in the same pavillion. I am now a proud 8430 owner myself, if only in 1/32nd scale. .....Photographs to follow very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big 8430 was easily one of the highlights of a superb gathering of classic John Deeres. Don't think i've ever seen so many 20 and 30 series machines in one place before. Time to start my photographic tour of my trip to Newark on saturday with the model displays. Firstly Malcolm Booth's line up of largely Fordson and Ford rebuilds and conversions.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Whilst it was great to see all the Ford and Fordson models on his stand I was most taken with his World Wide series International residing in his farm yard. My Dad's very play worn Britains Super Major makes an appearance in the corner of the yard. This tractor along with an equally dilapidated pre Force 5000 are now with Malcolm awaiting restoration ready for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appeard to be absolutely spotless Bill and there were many other tractors in the same condition on display too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Plenty of crawlers seen on this display in another of the halls. Corgi Euclid TC-12. Dad had one of these when he was younger. I hope to aquire one at some point in the future. Lots of Matchbox Fords seen on the display next door.
