PDH Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Marky where did he get the lorry being filled with Grain?? Looks like a NewRay conversion. There is a better picture of it in Classic Tractor this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Superb pictures and many thanks to Rory for sharing them with us on here - what a layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Dear Bluefan Glad you like the pictures...Mick's farm layout is indeed amazing. There is even more to it than whay you've seen, which I wasnt able to show in the overall views because the lens on my camera isn't wide enough. He also has a main farm residence out of shot on the left of the diorama and some more outlying fields to the right of the main picture. The scale is amazing. As for Mick being a member of FTF, he has a year to go until retirement (65) and isn't up to speed with computers and the internet. He does all his buying at toy fairs and shows, etc. It helps that his wife collectors dolls houses, so he picks up some good ideas and kit from dolls house fairs. Regards Rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I love it!!! The grain bins are something I would like to have at Leverets but not half as big, just enough for a few acres of barley to be stored. In one pic there is an old backhoe, anyone know what it is? Conrad or NZG I asume but not sure. The field scenes are brilliant, love it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen as you know so much, you know so little Sparrowlegs. Mr Cooper (to you) was interested in a hook lift 8 wheeler, NOT a bulker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it either looked like the rear of a 50B or a Ford 550 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
