richie Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 The 1:32 farm is nearly finished so I started an other one in 1:87 to go with the 00 trains. Here's one or two photos for you's to be going on with, Not much to look at yet. You's will notice that the train lay out is well on didn't want the farm in the middle. (to far to reach in to get the detail right. Quote
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Looks good mate and well detailed, 1:87 is a good size to collect due to it's size so you can have more of it! Look foward to more pics! Quote
SPN Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 WoW! I am always amazed by the detail you can get with 1:87. Quote
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I can see a paintbrush stuck at a junction! Quote
BGU Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Nice to see Thomas and Percy are busy!! ;) :D Good work. Quote
Kiwi6920 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Nice layout mate, You want to have a look at Kibri models They are realy nice and you get to put them together also, they are nice fun to do Looking forward to it growing Quote
Deere-est Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Make sure you keep us bang up to date with this one Richie, be nice to see it all progress as I have no experience with this scale at all. Looks like a fair old size layout could come about though. Quote
JC Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Nice layout. WoW! I am always amazed by the detail you can get with 1:87. Me too, it's surprising how many models are available in that scale too...... Quote
richie Posted October 25, 2007 Author Posted October 25, 2007 Nice layout mate, You want to have a look at Kibri models They are realy nice and you get to put them together also, they are nice fun to do Looking forward to it growing Yep they are great models, All the trucks and cranes you see in the middle of the layout are Kibri models. I have got my eye on the Class combine and the forager. Nice layout. Me too, it's surprising how many models are available in that scale too...... Yes they are good detail and not that expensive. The Class tractor and forage wagon was ?7.50 cant complain about that eh. Make sure you keep us bang up to date with this one Richie, be nice to see it all progress as I have no experience with this scale at all. Looks like a fair old size layout could come about though. Since I took these photos I have found abit more board so I have added another 2 foot to it. the overall length is now 12 foot so I have more field space to play with. Quote

richie Posted October 25, 2007 Author Posted October 25, 2007 and at 1:87 scale thats gonna be great!!!! ;D so tempted to have a small scale farm as i'd prob get it done quicker but isnt there a lack of implements ??? \ \ Yes I think you could be right FB most of the 1;87 models I've seen just have some sort of trailers. I'll have to have a look at the Kibri catalog I might be wrong. Quote
FB Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 would be good to know, have kinda searched interweb!!....then i can have a farm set up in the bed draw :D Quote
richie Posted October 25, 2007 Author Posted October 25, 2007 Have just been onto KIbri web site and there is'nt much choice plough, seedrill, class rake back forklift. will have a look at some others. Quote
bROADOAK Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Richie try www.langleymodels.co.uk for white metal kits and www.Wiking.de for up to date continental stuff especially Fendt. These people do some very good building kits and are well worth a look as well www.metcalfemodels.com Quote

CCF Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Excellent work, sometimes is easy to forget how much more concept you get out of a 1/87 display. Great detail, keep up the good work chap Quote
NewHolland2 Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Every time I see a 1/87 layout on here they just amaze me more and more......It's a scale you don't see too often but you (and the others on here who have posted their 1/87 layouts) have shown they can be really excellent......Good work......
