Some really good stuff in this issue.  The model section concentrates on whats been through the auction rooms, a small bit about Toytrac and the date for next year, a bit about the Ros Fiat 180-90, the National Tractor Show, bit about Zwolle and a piece on the coming U.H. Fordson Major limited 1/16 model.

I haven't got the Jan issue yet and I'm looking forward to it as it is an excellent magazine. I particularly like the wide range of topics covered and the way they do it. There are often articles on people who have lived interesting lives and have immense knowledge of farming and machinery. I like the articles by Jo Roberts, articles about animals and a wide age range of machinery and tractors. It's a magazine with something for everyone, very well printed and presented with superb pictures. I usually carry mine in my work folder and read it from cover to cover.  :)

The latest issue certainly contains some interesting material...and lots of it. The arrival of Peter Love has certainly added another dimension to the magazine, which now appears to offer a wider range of articles. Not sure about the market guide in the back and some of the tractor production dates for classics are way off the mark. This is perhaps a sign of inexperience on the part of the compiler, who lacks  in-depth knowledge of the classic market, being more of a specialist in steam. Still no one is perfect and it is still a worthy effort.

Still, an interesting package that, in its current format and size, must be considered good value for money.
