farmernick06 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Somethings that interested me for a while now, hoping to incorporate some ideas onto my layout. Just been out on my bike and a look around a few local farms as near as i could possibly get. The first is like a distribution depot kind of thing M&S lorry had just pulled in, the trailer is underneath this machine that i dumping all the wasted materials from the packhouses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Some machinery in the yard And another shot of the loading bays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 A closer picture through the bushes of the machinery in the yard \ Then down the road the salad big boys Barkers, basically this is the entrance as close as i could get to the packhouses \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 And last one doesn't really fit into the topic but another yard, loading up the curtain side trailer. Also in the distance a service van there to service the New Holland combine in the corner, so wish i was allowed closer :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 go in and pretend you are looking for somewhere and when they ask whats the name of the place give the address of the farm next door ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 go in and pretend you are looking for somewhere and when they ask whats the name of the place give the address of the farm next door ;) Spose i could do that Rich, wish it was that simple. At Barkers they wouldn't understand you ... all German And the others today all walked round in hi-vis and if i said hello they would probably die in shock .. :( I want to see what really goes on though, see how everything is packed would be very interesting \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 nice pics Nick, you could get some from Marky of his mini version!! :) Becareful though 'snooping' around farms/warehouses with cameras, you could get into all sorts of trouble even though its totally innocent, they may think otherwise ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm yeah but where i took the pictures from where all footpaths, i didn't actually go into any of the premises, Gedneys is on a footpath, Barkers on a road and the last one on a footpath. So i don't know but if there is someone there i'll always tell them \ And hmm i didn't know that I knew that Barkers sold out a while back and are in a bit of trouble from rumours i've heard but didn't know about Gednee... hmm thats a shame \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
