JC Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Not much difference that I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 mmmm, dont like the 'Ertl stamp' on the newer version on the rear, should be on the bottom...also i guess the hitch will be as useful as a chocolate teapot \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 Exhaust has been moved to breather side and one slight colour change is all I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 The wheels are mounted differently.... that must be the major re-tooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEBRITFARMER Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'm just wondering if that's a conversion Dave found on the net and posted it up just to give us an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Is the FW 30 on a smaller chassis than the FW 60 or are they the same ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I think the Ertl model is not accurate due to it being based on the wrong Steiger model in comparison to the real tractors. All those older castings will look odd up against the new stuff. In a way I'm pleased to be able to get that model but also not happy that they are rereleasing the old stuff, what will that do to the value of the older stuff?

SPN Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 It isn't beyond the bounds of possibility that the pics we are seeing are of tarted up versions of the old casting, but that the the actual model itself will be suitably updated to modern standards. We'll know for sure when we see the pic from Bill's desk! As mentioned elsewhere, it would have made more sense to do this as the Toy Farmer model for 2007 though.

NIGEL FORD Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 'think you'll find the exhaust is still on the other side ,'just hidden by the air intake, so it's only a wheel & decal change. The embossed ERTL name was always there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will affect the value of the older one as this is a FW-30 and has never been released (I know it's the same casting as the FW-60, but the different decals and tires are probably enough to warrant people buying it). \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
