Cheshire Farm Models Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thought I’d share this small pic of the stall I had at my first show last year at Toytrac. I was judging alongside the comical Sean Pullen and Hugh Barr. We had a brilliant time. I apologise for the small amount I had to sell I was just gauging interest this first time and meeting everyone ! This year 3 tables are being filled I promise !! I know this is a implements Only section I apologise for the few tractors ! And lack of green and red tractors at that Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahaha brilliant story !! I can relate to that, I take it you were like me no help just “ay lad chuck that flat 8 on the tractor and load the trailer” ha ha! ! Character building I tell ya. All gotta start somewhere! Cheers for your kind words all my browns replicas are based on the ones I have used, we had the later sledges with the angled frame and wheels on the inside and then the earlier flat 8s without the top braces I think they were called the mk-m1 flat 8s. There was another sledge which had a rounded off frame. Must be a good few variations of them over the years. A neighbour had a SKH sledge ... Salopian Kenneth Hudson if memory serves she put Mini Cooper wheels on and they folded down when he went on the road hahah rare site I tell ya ! Great memories ! I’m sure you’d go back to them days in a flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
