Thanks John,  the 802 really suits the double chop and weeks, aye the fleet grows a few more.... Have mentioned to Brian and Will about maybe another build so possibly in new year we might add another one 👍

Bit late in the update but the fat fella in the red suit must have thought I deserved this via my better half Gemma, one of Brian and Will's Leyland 472s,  the nearest 16th scale model to our own full sized one..... Exceptions are the cast rear wheels and the 24s on the front opposed to the 28s and exhaust but as near as we going to get at present.......shown with a  browns drag in tow out of the collection... But undecided what roll in the silage outfit the 472 will take....have to find time to see what manifests itself 😉

Cheers Justin, certainly is, I've had a word with Gemma's brother to see if he can do me a number plate for it to make it match 😉

Found 10 minutes this morning to get a couple of group shots, of the cabbed RJNs together, 2wds Left to right, 384 rattle cab, 272 synchro rattle cab ( certain export cabless tractors that were built for stock that couldn't sell were re cabbed with the earlier rattle cab to sell them off) 272 Synchro with QM cab and 802 Leyland with QM cab

 For those not familiar, the real-life Rattle cab has no rear window or soundproofing material..... Also fixed direct to tractor and not rubber mounted unlike the later QM cabs that were independent and soundproof 

then the 4wds, left to right 384/4 (not an accurate tractor but a few 270 were converted to 4wd by four wheel traction... And quite possible but not known if that the Italian company Cantatore converted one Leyland 384 after it's conversions of the 460 1060 and 465 Nuffields.).... Leyland Synchro 472, Leyland 704 and Marshall 704......... Have had a chat with Brian and Will about a couple of additions for this year but will have to see what happens...........
