The main man said it wasn't busy but he had a decent flow of people through the door on both days, 

Least it might have been worthwhile for them then, Had all intentions of bobbing across to it but with one thing and another the weekend seem to vanish pretty quick. Good to see you picked up a couple of bits though :)

any suggestions for an old school 1/32 mower for a tractor 60hp to 80 hp,drum mower prefered

An upgrade to the classic Britains  drum mower is about the best bet.

thanks Stan,nothing else a bit more detailed?

BOR did a PZ CM165, but there are only a half dozen or so made.

Siku did a Fahr drum mower, but it's much the same as the Britains detail wise.

There is a Siku Kuhn disc mower which could pass as a 1970s New Holland disc mower.

Here's the Fahr in front and rear mounted variants.

Have a look at the Britains.

A coat of paint, skirts, decals and a pto shaft is all it would take. It's a great base model.

That figure looks a bit dodgy to me Paul, don't put him in charge of the tractor keys or you might wake up to an empty farmyard;D

Yeah pretty sure I seen his face on crime watch a few weeks back! :)

I've ordered a few bits of HLT. 

2 brushwood hedges to finish of the yard, few silage round bales, bale wrap boxes and a driver, with his head turned looking out the rear window.

Little bit disappointed with the round bales, they just aren't as good a quality as I normally get from HLT.

I'll just need to be careful positioning them so as they look ok in the photos.

They seem fine, these are my second set of hedges and are decent enough value. Quick and easy to fill up a space.
