L33 DA17ON Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hi all I'm lee I'm 35 and new to the forum and to the scale models. Well had loads of britains stuff when I was a kid I was tractor mad. Now I have just fitted out my attick space I'm stating to build my son a model farm of my brothers hill farm on the north pennines. I dont have any of my old 80s and 90s toys there long gone. Wish I di they'd be worth a Bob or two now. Anyway started to buy the models I can remember owning as a child and the stuff we've had on our farm. Ford tw35 ford 6410 massey 35x 135 and a 165 but not sure you can get some models also a old mf 590. Looking forward to gaining some information on swapping out tyres and small custom stuff. And building a farm yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be cool to get out and see some stuff and how you guys go about the custom stuff. I like watching a guy on YouTube. The love of tractors. But his stuff is mostly 1.64 scale.

About a month ago maybe 5 weeks i was up in Scotland at a charity ploughing match near Carrutherstown just off the A75 between Annan and Dumfries and got talking to a long time friend Dougie, he'd heard that there wasn't a Annandale Model show this year and had pondered about looking into trying to set one up, if anything happens i'll post it on here... Mmmm being about not far of Brampton then do you know Postman David Waugh? he's into buying and selling a few 32nd scale models as a hobby....

The name rings a bell, I'll ask my brother about him as he lives up there, I live in Carlisle with my family now. Come to think about it I've been looking on ebay at sellers close by and a lad who lives in brampton keeps popping up. It would be good to get to know someone close by, just for some tips. there seems to be a good railroad model shop hear in carlisle that people talk about so when this virus calms down I'll have a wander down. Be ok for suff like woodland scenics turf and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the fella, we used to get all new bikes off of him and all the servicing done. we used to run 3 Honda but we use a lad closer to home now. When I was a kid I loved going as he had a perfect honda trike think it was a 170 or something with the blue seat. Its was in mint condition I always wanted it.
