Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted April 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2020 As some of you know i've a bit of a soft spot for all things Nuffield Leyland and Marshall, and over the years i've amassed quite a number of various Scaledown models as well as a few others although in general theres not many to go at, so like in my 16th collection of RJN's theres much of a muchness in the theme with the odd rarity and heavily modified kit, but anyhow to get the job started heres a couple of wide tyred Brays, 10/60, 465, 384 and 470 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPS Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Those look great Paul. I’ve found I really enjoy building Scaledown kits, I think a Nuffield could be next on the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Very nice Paul. My boss has one off them BMC 4/25s . He uses it to run a power washer around the yard off the pto and it pulls a little cart with a water tank up on it. It's a tidy little set up. I must get a pic next time he had it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Justin , some of the folk on here know ive a few 32nd ones besides the 16ths, thought happen it was time i shared them abit.... that be cracking, feel free to post when you get chance to grab a photo the 4/25's and 154' s and even laterly the 302's and 132's are under rated tractors, much of a muchness to a TE20 they compact nimble and light, handy for all the jobs something much bigger is too heavy for, i know where theres a 302 sat sitting but its too much coin for the amount of work it needs it spent most of its life on the Isle of Man and is a bit rusty to say the least, there is a better one local, thats a later Marshall model, but again the 302 appeared in a few guise's, the prototype started as 184 leyland in leyland blue, then the harvest gold of Leyland, then Marshall but was also available in white as the Nickerson TurfMaster, when it was dropped from Marshalls range under Charles Nickersons ownership, the replacement 132's are in essance an IMT badge engineered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted May 3, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Not the finest detailed but a special part of the collection, Dave Towse's Synchro set of 2wd Leylands as would have been launched in 1978/79 262, 272, 282, and 6 cylinder 285, (a handful of full sized 2100 Synchros exist but in very low production figures that were once due to go all for export) my aim one day to have a 272 Synchro from 78, to have a tractor from my birth year in the collection of full sized ones Edited May 3, 2020 by Valley Axe Man 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kieran , but hey don't put your own collection down, what you have is the makings of a fine collection yourself theres still time for yours to grow yet, mines been on the go as it were for the last 12 years at least, maybe getting on towards 15.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Brilliant Paul. Lots of rarities amongst them that makes for a fantastic collection. We've seen the odd one on your displays but it's a treat to see them all together. I agree with Kieran, the 4/60 and horndraulic is a cracker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Martin think the problem with this route of collecting is that there isn't the scope the same as you Ford men have on the basis of other models to add to the collection, yes theres a good few gaps due to suitable donors or suitable run with a good scratch builder, the most notible other uses of the Nuffield/Leyland skid are the JCB's as well as the leyland engined early 520 loadalls, and the Leyland Skid unit based Coventry Climax forklifts. There's more to come with a few more gems (plus a few rough diamonds) and a couple of tractors that have a lot of sentiment attached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted May 4, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2020 "if you go down to the woods today".......The last of the Brays in the collection (for now) a 10/60 base with 14x30's built with a Cookes winch and put in its working clothes by @JCB BLOKE and she still looks like she'd put a good shift in 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
