Valley Axe Man Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Great to see models from your collection, Paul. Only the toplink seems missing . Good looking model though! Thanks Jack it's been a while to get back to posting up the updates but getting there again now. Yes your right... missing toplink a fault on a few of the UH models, could really do with getting a handful and fitting them throughout the fleet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Another addition to the Weeks trailer collection ..... This time a sprung and braked Weeks plus 40 that's had a hard life ...... Andy at Classic's first attempt at building something that's past it's best...... With a badly battered and twisted rotting body, a flat and odd tyres, broken spring and burst brake pipe, bent drawbar jack and ring hitch, snapped wheel stud and missing nut..... just needs as Andy says to be weathered and rusted to give it that truly knackered look 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) But every trailer such as this needed a suitable overload load.... so Andy supplied one...... Edited May 18, 2014 by Valley Axe Man 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) It's been a while since an update but another new small addition to the collection in the shape of a set of Andy's Ransomes Cambridge rollers.....

Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted August 25, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2014 ...... And also an 3.5 ton Weeks / MF21 tipping trailer has joined the trailer fleet ....... but with a generic style angle iron, corrugated tin and weldmesh silage kit added in authentic red lead finish. Trailer in Andy's basic format, of drawbar skid and handbrake only.... without lighting kit but I'm considering a little sign for the tailgate..... saying "No Signals" 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdeere6910 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Fantastic pieces of model making. love the weeks trailers, being built round us there are still a few left. The silage trailer needs the no signals written in bad handwriting like its been painted on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Fabulous additions to your collection there Paul.. You never fail to impress.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Cheers Pat and Justin Though credit where credit due and that must go to Andy for building these fine models..... Your right about the sign too Pat, written on a tatty scrap of old bit of tin or bit of old plywood crudely painted up and tied on , According to Andy he's plans to do the Weeks Twin7 7 tonner in the future too, but I've another 3.5tonner to come, again finished in the MF 21 colours and with a silage kit added but the body is a different style to the one pictured above ....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) The second of the MF21 / Weeks 3.5ton has arrived down in the Valley , this one again in Andy's standard format of handbrake only, and early type exposed screw parking jack..... but this time the standard trailer fitted with hardwood drop sides and floor (as opposed to the standard metal sided and floored variants), but fitted with the metal standard type silage kit, and split two section tailgate. Again without lights so guess i'll need to make a pair of the " no signals" signs now Edited September 6, 2014 by Valley Axe Man 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Wouldn't bother with the signs Paul , have never seen that on a trailer before , usually written in chalk each year rather than painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 My god that is a really fantastic collection, ive never been into 1/16 but that would make me want to. Andys work is excellent and his MF/WEEKS trailers brings back some hairy memories of using them and discovering their weak spot ( that hole through the drawbar) they always broke here and always in the worst of places and of course a big load on, any WEEKS trailers i used were strenghtened up here but only after they broke of course..Id spend ages gazing at that stuff if it were mine, you must have plenty of room to display it all.....Definately a collection to be proud of 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Wouldn't bother with the signs Paul , have never seen that on a trailer before , usually written in chalk each year rather than painted There were one or two that painted or chalked it on up round here Sean, but most round these parts had it daubed on a tatty bit of plywood or tin and tied it on to the tailgate with a bit of bale twine..... Although I did see a transit van parked in Davidstow with a similar sign on its back door....... but it read " No Hand Signals....

I appreciate your comments on the collection too, most of it tucked away at moment, working on plans for a nice sized display case when time allows. I'm glad that it brings back some memories no matter how hairy the moment was for you at the time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted October 26, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2014 The Latest addition to the slowly growing collection.... After a chat with Andy, his loaned Demo'd Kidd Double Chop mk2 now has a permanent home here in the Valley, Built to an earller spec than the one I have on order, this one features the earlier mechanical controls for chute, half set of three knives in the flywheel as opposed to full bank of six and earlier slam type pick up hitch, features also a full set of individual flails and working adjustable spout and flap..... built to Andy's usual high standard and a credit to his building talents 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
