mb86 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Those trailers are a work of art Paul, the work in the auto latches is impressive alone.

Valley Axe Man Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Cheers Martin, aye Andy done a great job on the latches and as for the cake part well.... the proof of the pudding is in the eating, there's a few that joined the cake fan club over the years, although really Brian Stewart, Damian Hampson and John Dewhurst must be the longest serving 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted December 8, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2018 A few photo's of Thursdays addition to the Leyland and Nuffield collection, a pair of RJN Leyland 384's one in 4wd and the other standard plus a Nuffield 465 fitted with bigger tyres and front weights, still a couple more missing to finish the set to date that Brian has in his current portfolio of the brand although Brian was saying that into the new year he might have a couple more to add to my order list as he still working on a couple more Nuffield projects..... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Cracking models Paul. One day I might just be persuaded to deviate from my usual shade of blue with looking at these beauty's, although it'd have to be a smaller scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Martin, think i've 4 needed to complete the set so far....it's a pity there isn't a few more 32nd versions about really, but it would be a good link to your past in the collection prior to you going Basildon Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
