BC Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 I have two TW 25's Marcus No 9508. Both are in Banded boxes. One is badged TW25 and the other is bagged 8730. The 8730 oddly enough has silver wheels. i sure someone on her will be able to tell us more about this ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 I remember seeing a boxed Ford with silver/ grey wheels at a well known dealer a few years back and asked about it, I was told Britains had runout of white wheels and they fitted the ones off the MF on then to keep the production line going till they got some more white ones. Thanks Mark that could well have been the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 some really nice additions (and plenty) you have gotten yourself I know most of them, and you actually have the one powerfarm set, that i am missing (9682) Especially the older models seem to be still in prime condition. Very nice finds there! am quite curious of the NH CX8090 which will most likely come with me in Spalding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks Wil. You never know you may well pick up that power farm TW35 and Howard rotary dung spreader at Spalding. G&M will be there and they are selling No 42412 the NH 8090 combine on their website at £ 28.50. I bought it on order at Perth so hope to get the rest of the photos done tonight and logged so I can get a bit of dining room space and away to the loft. Look back tomorrow or Saturday and hopefully I'll have the photos on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick henton Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hi BC they look good mate I'm liking the stiegers i have got the wildcat series II on duels it just a shame that they have the ring instead of the drawbar or the 3 point hitch they are good solid models and well worth the money that the go for keep the updates coming I'm enjoying looking at the old Britain's stuff. regards nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britains could learn form ERTL's old methods of packaging. Although you cant see the model through a window the Steigers are well packed and easily removed. I really really hate the wire they have been using over the past few years. Far better when they had the tractors locked with a key to the bottom of the chassis.

nick henton Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I cant agree with you more mate the only thing is with my wildcat II the air cleaner and exhaust pipes are bent out of shape i have got a push on drawbar i will get some photos of mine and show them to you with regards to the packing even if RC2 took a leaf out of siku's book that would be a start because you risk breaking them just to get them out the box regards nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 some really nice additions there! The Toy Farmer Steigers i have had all of them except one(traded them in for some blue coloured articulated ones ) , they all have the same packaging which i really appreciate. The 1:16 had similar packagings and the new USA 1:16 boxes are also a pleasure to deal with(open all around so you just fold it away from the styrofoam inner, and all you need to do is part the two styrofoam parts(and cut those bl**dy tines again, which are there only for show me thinks). the FTF models should every prominent FTF member have by now , especially as they are Ford models etc.. etc.. etc.. going to look at the combine now on the other page i hope? As the CX8090 and BB9060 are bount to go to holland when i see them at G&M in Spalding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
