Valley Axe Man Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Then a UH County 754 joined the ever growing fleet, so pictured here with the clean 654 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Dan at Oranda Design also put his mud and rust wand over a UH Pre-force 5000, at the same time as the County 654, not taken as far as the Doe that was weathered to an inch of it's life, the 5000 just wanted to look like it had a hard life over the years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have driven a friend's real one from 1948 and a real test Paul since the brake is for the left foot but the clutch is on the right foot like it's predecessor the Fordson N...very confusing from a part time tractor driver who expects the clutch on the left and the brakes on the right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Now a slight change of shade of blue..... to another Leyland ...... a 154 this time, Based on a UH MF35x, converted by FTF member Tracterror or a.k.a.

Valley Axe Man Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I want that Leyland 154 but in 1:32 scale 8) 8) Ahhhhhhh now then Mike........... i can help you with that. Dave at Towse Trading does a 1/32nd 154 Leyland based on a Fergy chassis, and Ken Davies offers a Nuffield BMC 4/25 based on the same chassis. Both reside here in the Valley..... i take a couple of pics and post them up with their bigger brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 More lovely stuff. The wee Leyland is a clever idea. Thanks John, are you a bit of a Leyland fan at heart? ? Aye the idea was born after seeing a couple of 154's parked next to a fergy......... Kev then took a couple of pics and he delivered a box a couple of weeks later. It might not be 100% accurate but neither are UH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Simply stunning collection Paul I had no idea you had so many stunning models in such a big scale Awesome mate Thanks Bazza There still alot more to come yet!!.... The collection just sort of happened way back when UH released the Power Major, a couple of Fergies followed soon after, but they were traded against some more blues. Then i bit the bullet ordered my first two models off Andy at Classic........ and got addicted. The rest is history as i kept it going to be a bit different to the majority of collectors...... although i still got a hell of a lot of 1/32nd stuff, but 1/16th the future for me!

Valley Axe Man Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 .... As Promised Mike, just for you..... a 1/32nd 154 and BMC mini, with their big brother 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) And on to what could be the 2nd to last of my Roadless tractors, ( until i find that elusive RJN Roadless Super Major and the collection grows) This time a DBP Roadless 75, which is also the last DBP in the collection.........

Valley Axe Man Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) From memory the last Roadless in the collection, a 2wd Roadless conversion on an E27N Skid, by UH, The real tractors built for forestry use and Roadless converted some Long wheelbase Landys at around the same time to 4 equal sized tractor wheels, both vehicles had wider front axles to allow a bit of steering lock, but also so that the axles didn't drive on the same ground in bad conditions. Cuthbertson took the landy conversions a step further by adding tracks to each corner..... a rare beast nowadays. ........ come to think of it there should be Roadless Dexta hiding somewhere........ the Roadless chapter of the collection might not be over just yet!!!!

Valley Axe Man Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Now back to a couple more Blues, that are getting toward the end of the County's in the collection...... (for now at least) A pair of UH County Super 4's in Super Major and New Performance Versions.............

Valley Axe Man Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 ...... And the New Performance version hitched up to my RJN Ransomes 4 furrow plough, waiting for a day to go and have a play in the stubble!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
