MJB1 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Clockwork the predesessor to the powerfarm i presume ? , still its good to see they`ve been looked after. I wonder how many of the models seen are still in as good a shape as the catalogue ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Yep Powerfarms inspiration I should think! Heres a unusual one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEBRITFARMER Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Interesting, I knew they did dollhouse stuff in lead, but didn't know they did plastic....amazing how much non-farm stuff Britains really did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Yes it certainly went off on a tangent with the space stuff, i wrote to the captain at the time to complain . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972farming Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Great to see the pics of the old catalogues Andy . I love the old stuff ,the boxes and catalogues are excellent ,they put so much more effort into them years ago . It was the same for Corgi and Dinky as well ,allthough I am too young to remember them first hand ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
