BC Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Given Kenny and Shirley are moving to a larger hall in Gretna this year Paul are you planning coming up with your models in a 7.5 tonner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Now back to a couple more standard UH releases, in the shape of a 7000 and 7600.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 ....... and now the 6Y trilogy..... the 7000 and previously posted 5000 and 4000, All thats missing is a 3000 and a 2000......... mmmmm that makes me think a couple of dexta chassis could be useful ....... I'm also hoping to post a similar line up of 7600, 6600, and 4600, when i get the 66 and 46 finished 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Given Kenny and Shirley are moving to a larger hall in Gretna this year Paul are you planning coming up with your models in a 7.5 tonner Well perhaps if i was to bring the full collection Bill..... a bit more transport capacity could have been useful, thinking of taking a selection of items rather than the whole nine yards..... Poppy orange might be a bit of a feature........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm liking the sound of Leyland's and Andy's implements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm liking the sound of Leyland's and Andy's implements It's been a while since the Leylands and Nuffields were displayed Bill, so thought it'll be a bit of something different The big question will be if i can hire mum's JCB for the day...... having the Nuffield skid under it, it sort of fits in grand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thats is what is needed at shows to keep them alive Paul...variety....and not the same displays year on year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Absolutely loving your V8 E27N conversion which has reminded me of this tractor I have photographs of lurking in my archives.....................fancy having a go at building this sometime in the future Paul? My Dad photographed this tractor at a vintage rally at Murton near York many moons ago, probably 1988. I'm not sure of the history of the tractor, but I do know it reappeared at the Fordson 500 event in 1996 having undergone an overhaul and respray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Now then David..... funny that this has popped up. a project like this was thought about after doing the original V8 convo, I too have a picture of this tractor, taken at the Cumbria Steam Gathering..... approx 1990 but could be a year either way.........At the time i think i remember someone saying that this tractor lived in the Appleby area of Cumbria. Also residing down in the Valley amongst my 1/32nd collection is this beauty..... created by the late Dennis Goodburn.... and based on the very same tractor that we both have photograghs of. I bought this off Brian Holmes in 2001/2002 and was the first scaledown tractor that i ever bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 I wouldn't say one is out of the question David....... the question is can i find the time with all the other convo's thats on going at the momment?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Wow, that is an amazing model of such an eyecatching tractor Paul, and thank you for sharing your photographs of the real machine it's based too, small world as they say. I do hope the real machine is still somewhere safe and sound, i'd absolutely love to see it working if it's still around, as opposed to a static rally. If you do have the opportunity to proceed with such a project in the future i'd definitely love to see this tractor in 1/16th scale too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 i missed a few pages and you start posting one marvel after the other.. it doesnt stop that PZ haybob sure brings back memories, a fine piece of art by CC! quite a bit jeaulous of your DBP's, still missing quite a few of them here. I only just started adding RJN models to my collection, but it is a slow process. you do have a stunning and unique collection with your conversions.. i'll be keeping my eyes glued on this topic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your welcome bud There's quite alot hidden away down here in the Valley, David but unfortunatley i don't know the whereabouts of the real machine, though like you i know i'd love to see and hear this beast working rather than it being parked up in either rally field or shed. Aye it's definatley a small world...... and not just in model form either There is a 6 cylinder version with roadless axle under it belonging to Keiran Wall, Timber merchant/extractor that has been to a Rally or 2, i've seen that tractor diplayed at Pickering, Driffield and up at Helmsley, but don't remember taking any photo's of it. It might be a bit off-topic but it suprising what a photo can lead too!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken photographs of quite a few of his working machines in the past, trucks, tractors and tractor pullers. All of which i'd crave for in model form. Looking a little more weathered in 2011 at Duncombe Park, Helmsley. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Aye that's the rascal David... it featured in an old T&M years ago when they did a fleet profile on Wall's machinery. The pair together would make an impressive sight, both full size and in model form If only UH had a better/bigger 4wd front axle than the one on the Roadless Dexta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 The Roadless's in the collection so far............. RJN Roadless Super Major (New performance) RJN Roadless 6/4 (green and yellow) RJN Roadless 6/4 (Blue and grey) UH E27N Roadless (2wd) UH Roadless Dexta, DBP Roadless 75 Over the next few years there are a couple more that i'd like to add....... just have to wait and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
