Oakley Farms Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Im afraid not, they are 1.50, i hate mixing scales but i cant find any 1.32 lorries that offer the same amount of detail as corgi 1.50 but they dont look to out of place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Your grimme bedtiller looks great,looks like the siku kuhn butterfly folding arms were the donor for that one. I'd like to start adding potatoe culitivation kit to my collection although not much is available off the shelf,wish britains would produce some,particularly standen pearson machinery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakley Farms Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 I know what you mean, spud equipment is hard to come by, with the introduction of the ROS Grimme harvester last year hopefully there will be more to follow in the near futute, im currently trying to source a potato grader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakley Farms Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Sorry for the lack of updates lately, iv just changed jobs and moved house! However i now have an eagerly awaited spare room, building has started on the diorama and iv teamed up with a mate to help, so far we have measured up to build a workshop, sprayer shed, several cold stores, and a new grain store, so far the grading shed is up and ready along with the first two cold stores. The project at the weekend is to finish a shed that has been started to house 2 combines and headers, this involves joining two sheds together, adding sky lights and cladding the outside in green card, fingers crossed this will be done by sunday. Pics will follow as progress contines 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakley Farms Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 And this is where we are now, grading shed is on the left, the grader will be in the front half of the shed and the back half is split into two cold stores, will take pics of the inside sometime, and then on the right is what im currently working on, the combine shed, have joined the two sheds together and added skylights all thats left is to clad the last of the roof in green, also im going to ply out the floor and paint to give a concrete yard effect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakley Farms Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Progressed well this evening, from left is the workshop, middle is an awkward shaped cold store just to make life interesting and right is the sprayer shed and chem store, above the chemical store is going to sit a water tank and be piped through the wall for sprayer filling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
