Come to think of it there was a bit of red paint left under the chain guard where it was always oily, would like a model of one if I could find some photos to get it accurate. Bet photos will be a pain to find I think the Bamford spreader images are fairly sparse on the internet. I’ve a brochure here for a small single axle one. I would consider building the twin axle one and probably make about 5 others too.. one weathered of course 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep meaning to ask on the page on faceslap, see if anyone on there can shed some light. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there fairly small a twin axle on a smaller spreader was still a good idea. There still a good weight once fully loaded up. And the thin tyre Howard’s were a pain for us haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Tidy pair you've found there Martin you seem to be fairly good at tracking down good models at the minute. There's a same pair here but in the larger scale of 16th 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Cheers mate. Aye you can't beat a nice pair . These sort of found me really, have a good pal who is wanting a few of his models to go somewhere where they will be looked after. At least he can pop round see them anytime he wants when they haven't gone far. A bit like a hidden collection, actually that's not a bad idea, anyone fancy looking after a few models for me so mrs mb86 doesn't find them and we will smuggle them in one at a time. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice indeed, they have been well looked after by their previous owner too, all in fully working order . I couldn't refuse giving these a good home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
