Valley Axe Man Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Lastly...... (for now) A little diversion from the 1/16th topic but still from Andy's stable is this 1/32nd scale cattle crush, which is a little bit different from Andy's usual 1/16th models..... ...... there still another half dozen of Andy's models to come, but now i'll post up a few more tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Some amazing looking models produced by Andy there Paul. I remember first seeing him with some of his models at the National Museum of Rural Life at Kittochside East Kilbride when model shows were held there in 2005, 2006 and 2007 according to my Britain's purchasing records. I seem to recall you there with a Green Landy and canvas cover if my memory serves me correct I think me or someone needs to do an article on Mr Sewell's creations for Model FARMER Edited February 20, 2013 by BC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Loving the machinery Paul Wish I could afford it! Cheers Will, there still a couple of trailers and a spreader to post up yet........... It took me a while to convince myself that collecting Andy's models was the right thing to do, but now i wish i'd have started sooner rather than spend a heap of cash on a shed load of Britains, Siku and UH that some never saw light of day since the day i bought them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kittochside was also the place where the first two RJN's were purchased...... The New preformance Super Major and a Nuffield 4/60. Sounds like article might be a plan Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) The cattle crush is intreasting. My line of work involves fabricating & welding cattle crushs & other livestock equipment. So that to me is a very intresting piece of kit. Never ween one in model format before. Your 1/16 collection is very impressive indeed Paul.

Sounds like article might be a plan Bill Well I had to refer back to my Britain's spreadsheet and see the dates of purchases from G&M...which stood at 239 back in the Spring of 2007....6 years on it has grown quite a bit. Again it was the first time I had seen RJN's models and was very impressed. Had there been a 1957 Nuffield Universal DM with sliding hubs like my own I would have certainly bought one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Justin, i'm glad you like the collection so far ....... though i know your looking forward to me finishing my Deluxe cabbed 4600 The crush just sort of happened really. I think it was one of Andy's spares and he didn't need it so he offered it and the rest is history......... I'm a welder/fitter too, prepping chassis and doing chassis mods and hydraulic work for tanker manufacturer Crossland Tankers..... not direct link to agriculture but with help provide solutions for transport of one of agriculture's daily products.....

Aye Bill, thats way back when Russel Brown was the owner of RJN before selling to current owner Brian Huck....... funnily enough RJN never released a Universal, or a 4/65 mk1 but they did a 4/60, 10/60, 4/65 mk2 and the Nuffield/Leyland badged 384.........plus UH's attempt at a Universal didn't have the sliding hubs either...... though i am in the process of beefing one up on to some bigger boots. UH's 10/60 should be out soon too..... at least i hope it is Another 1/16th memory from Kittochside was Martin Littlefair and his scratchbuilt NH combines...... they were serious bits of kit and although i'm no combine spotter i'd welcome those into my collection any day Edited February 21, 2013 by Valley Axe Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Now back to a couple more of my RJN collection in the form of a Nuffield 4/60 (One of the first RJN's to be in the collection) and a well shod Nuffield 10/60......The Nuffield, Leyland and Marshall line of tractors are one of my passions...... if only there were a 1/16th Marshall 804xl..... and a 4wd Marshall 100....... my life would be truly complete a little bit more RJN Poppy orange to follow........... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 ...... to a later and restyled Nuffield 4/65 mk 2, RJN missed the mk1 and went to this version, a good point is that this model doesn't suffer from the overheating problems of the real deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm434 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 dad used to have a real one that he took as a dept payment. we were never a lover o f it to tell the truth, as it needed easy start to fire it up. eventually the engine popped while i was turning hay. i never knew there was a mk1 and a mk2 version paul, what was the difference between them?

It was the re-styled models when problems started David......., when the 4/65 was first released in 67 it's chassis is 8 inch longer allowing the fuel tank to be moved up front of the radiator, causing overheating problems due to the fan not being efficent enough to drag air through the rad, plus the engine seemed to have a vibration about it. these early tractors had a black Nuffield badge on the sides of the bonnet, In 68 they tried to alter the cooling by fitting a different fan i'm led to belive..... and they tried to assess the vibration problems but without much success, and the black badge gave way to the silver bonnet stripe as on my RJN posted earlier I seem to have a knack of jogging peoples memories with my collection mmmmm i suppose a mk1 would be an easy conversion and help finish the set....,.....

Valley Axe Man Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 The next step after the 4/65 was to turn the Nuffields a corporate Leyland blue and call them Leylands..... here a big booted 384 by RJN........
