Udimore Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Following on from my proud collection of DBP's I have started to come across some of my SCALEdown tractors that were very kindly built for me by a splendid chap. First one I've unpacked is my favourite..apologises for the quality of the pics , I will update them at a later date but you will get the jist of it. Here is the Track Marshall 135, I'm hoping to also get a 155 at a later date. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.watson Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thought I would bump this. Is this the smallest scaledown collection in the world ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Probably not, I have only got one SCALEdown, does that still count as a collection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.watson Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Come on Bazzaaa, I know you have them somewhere. Mike, one of something is not technically a collection, in Essex, we call it lonely !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a go at the Massey 65 there recently and it all came together much easier than I expected. Not perfect, but I learned a lot while doing it. I've a Roadless and a County to do next. I recommend to anyone to give it a go. The biggest risk it that you'll glue your fingers together, again and again and again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the 2 TM crawlers with the Dowdeswell ploughs but I must admit someone else built them, and built them brilliantly, they are faultless.
