JC Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 How about a classic range, siku are running one which must be successful or they wouldn't be releasing more models in this range. It has been mentioned before that the old moulds from earlier models are still in existence, would it be feasible to re-badge some of the older models such as the ford 6600 as a Ford 7000/5000, maybe tweak them up a bit, put better wheels on etc. Another suggestion being a re-run of the county 1884 in BLUE, not my suggestion but one I really like the idea of and I'm pretty certain would be a big seller to collectors in and around the UK. The possibilities along these lines are vast if you take into consideration the different variants that could be manufactured using the old Ford and Massey Ferguson castings.

ihatepoundland Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Good point, the Ford County 1884 was never produced in the colour it actaully was in real life, that would be a good revival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Walters Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Again, I'm not that familiar with the old Britains tooling. Thanks for the suggestions. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 If the 1884 were to be re-released & look genuine then apart from being blue the cab roof would also have to be changed for a bubble cab type as ive never seen a real SQ cabbed roof version .

There is one, the last one. It was made for British Steel. Later it was kitted out for forestry work by Wilsons There is also another one that has had its cab changed for a super-Q. I think the Q looks better though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
