BC Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 My issue dropped through the front door today earlier than expected I have only flicked through but I'm impressed there is a lot of blue "reek" aka smoke on offer and a lot on Nashes which really pleases me. In addition a Toytrac report and well done to Paul Whitehead (well he is really black headed (with grey hair to come).... to me ) a member on here on his win with his converted UH 654 1/16 scale County to a County 974 with a scratch built cab. Oh I wish I could work on things less than 100% but well I can glue my fingers together just opening super glue so hence the reason I have given up even on ScaleDOWN 1/32 models as good as they are. I guess I'm just an impatient person but probably enhanced by working in the oil industry for over a 1/4 of a century where everything is wanted yesterday or if not that...when will it be finished. On the latter I told my new boss ...it will be done when its completed before asking him....how long is a piece of string..well not in that word's....I can be diplomatic when I need to be Keep up the good work Rory... I used to subscribe to all the tractor magazines and did not do them all justice so I had to ask which one is the best one to keep and well your one came "Top of the Tractor Mags" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Was very (pleasantly) surprised to see it in the local shop this evening. Wasn't expecting it til next Friday. Just done a quick scan and there seems to be a huge amount of excellent content for a change as usual. Well done Rory & team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Cheers Justin appreciated Nice to see your article from the Scottish County Club, Bill Glad you liked it Paul...it was a rather enjoyable Sunday with nice weather, good company, very very good food, outdoors, fresh air and good exercise. I can't wait to see them in action at their silage weekend in 2014. A lot of them will be at BA Stores mid May 2014 but I have ploughing and mowing to do there so photographic coverage could be minimalistic from me on the County area. I must say Paul they are a club that just goes that bit further as they grow older to come up with something different each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what iv'e seen in reports in Classic and what I've seen on here, the Scottish County club seem to want to go the extra mile in what they do and not sit back and freewheel along. That's a great outlook for a club to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 picked up mine today wot a fine example of 595 and a 592 Rory it harked back to the sample edition of Classic tractor 13 years ago with the 595s ive still got that in the loft I remember the 595 restoration by mauice I think his name was evedry issue since has been as good and keeps getting better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great outlook for a club to have Yes I would say so Paul. Chairman Charlie Gray cut his teeth on Fords and County's and worked them in his fathers agricultural contracting business. Charlie now sells New Holland's so he has blue blood. His partner Frances is their secretary and is a great organiser and communicator and gets things done. Last but not least is James Stewart of Stewart trailers who served his time as a mechanic on Fords with Aberdeen Tractors before working in Australia and or New Zealand for a while before setting up Stewart's trailers. Again James has a fair touch of blue in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue man Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Sorry for the late reply but I had to thank Rory for such an excellent issue .I loved the piece on 1980s fords and the focus on TWs was excellent especially seeing as my neighbour Chris Sullivan and his minter of a 15 was featured .Thanks again Rory !

rorsday Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Blue Man Great stuff, thanks for that! Yes, Chris' Ford TW-15 was a superb tractor, please pass on my thanks to him for the time he spent with our contributor Peter O'Brien.

FNHIR Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Is it just me (only flicked through it in newsagents) or does the current edition not have a Collectors' Corner? If so, is this a first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rorsday Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 FNHIR, Blue man is right, it's in there, but it's in a different position this time because it's part of our Agritechnica show report. We decided to do an 'alternative' look at Agritechnica, focusing on the new machines, milestones and of course the models. Hope you enjoy it.
