I do remember seeing an 1184 and another County in the white colour scheme on backroads in Hertfordshire around 1990. Might it have been a water utility or service provider to a water utility? The only white County I know of is the gold 1174 50 year anniversary tractor bought by a farmer and painted in David Brown livery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether true or not though, who knows! great job again Ian. How do you do it? What's next? Thanks Alastair! A mixture of patience, a steady hand and some choice ales I'm tempted to try a Roadless 65 based on the UH 5000 next or a Neal Pelican loader based on a UH power major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Ian ... That County is a cracker . You turned a Britains TW30 into something that far exceeds UHs best efforts . Beautiful model . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have moving parts though. I did consider converting the UH TW-30 but they already did that also the UH TW-30 bonnet seems to be a lot narrower than the Britains, not sure which one has the correct dimensions but Britains looks bang on to me, although I could be wrong.

Yeah . The UH TWs & Countys seem to have narrower bonnets for some strange reason . The Marge one is better for detail than them , but it's based on one particular County 1884 they went off in Holland with wider wheels and different decals . Your one is a beauty tough .

The bonnets on the britains swb tws are spot on to scale, I measured them when I was planning my tw conversions. The britains cab is also spot on, unlike the uh which is smaller than it should be in all aspects or the marge which is the correct width but slightly longer than it should. Only talking the odd mil though. You'd have thought going by price they would be the other way round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was going to mention the Q cabs didn't look quite right either, that's why I would favour the Britains for accuracy. A millimetre is a big difference when you scale it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
