Thanks Susan... wish you'd been there cos you'd have loved it... next year then :)

(Still a bit sad though... seems a long way off doesn't it :'()

I had a great day at Bursledon but would love to have been at Toytrac as well.

Plenty of other opportunities - you could become a member of our model club and then you can join us with Holly Farm at some of our displays!

Been making a tipping 10' x 6' trailer for my 1/16th UH Power Major. At this stage I've made it out of cardboard to see if it looks right before attempting making one in plastic. I didn't want it to look clumsy or ill proportioned. :P::)

    As there are few affordable or realistic looking implements for the 1/16th scale; I thought I would make my own. The ideas being simple ones to start with, like the above, a bale trailer, transport box, yard scraper, a Ferguson or Bomford type cultivator. The bale trailer will probably be another tipping trailer, like the Wheatley or Weeks 3-4 ton models, with a 3' bale extension and hay ladders.

    That should keep me busy over the winter, and most of the implements mentioned should be within my capabilities. I don't have a lot of money to spend on new models, although I do have a Banner Lane UH MF 135 on order and a UH 135 and Power Major in 1/32nd scale. They were ordered in early August from Farmmodels. They were supposed to be available in September................not sure which one though.  ;):D
