FB Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 yeah a new base would be a good step in the right direction :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 i thought the 1970s play base was the best it had a bridge & stream even the yard looked authentic compared to its predecessor's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 i thought they had re-realeased the old play base agian,or has it been stoppped again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodhead Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 i think the current platbase needs a facelift. I've not got one of the play bases so if i talking ******** i appologise. The one i saw at a show looked small. If you were to put the new JD tractor with tracks in the playbase, i think it would look out of place. The play base was probably great when Britains did the Ford 5000. It was a much smaller model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I voted a NO in this poll. Basis being that with the size of farmyards, contractors yards etc as they are today and the varied manner of the buildings these days I think Britains should put their attention towards making individual buildings. Wide-span sheds for grain/machinery, lean-to sheds as 'add ons', single pitch sheds for calf/young stock, tall sheds for driers, silo and feed towers, slurry tanks, sure you all get the picture!!

MJB1 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 i recon something along the lines of what TM810 is doing for the younger ones ,small bases that will fit together as for the older ones like us then it would be a bit restrctive to have a play base so individual sheds would be good ,supplied by smurf would be better ! new gates & fences would also be good as cant get a powerharrow through one of the old ones let alone a combine \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 It would be great to see a new range of buildings and farm yard equipment such as silos, grain bins etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 It would be great to see a new range of buildings and farm yard equipment such as silos, grain bins etc. i think ertl did some for the 1/64 scale for the states & they looked good ,maybe they could just make them a bit bigger for us 1/32 collectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Yeah I saw them in dealer's yards in the States and also on various websites etc. They look pretty good with augers, elevators, loading hoppers etc. A set like this in 1/32 would certainly do for a Centaur Grain depot!!

JC Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 There are some pictures of The other green's 1/64 diarama somewhere, that has loads of silos and grain bins on it.... well worth a look if you can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 i think ertl did some for the 1/64 scale for the states? & they looked good ,maybe they could just make them a bit bigger for us 1/32 collectors i asked bill walters about that a while back,and he said it was a good idea and it would be passed on to the uk team,prehaps thats one of the new 2006 models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 how about a silage clamp made up out of 1/32 RSJ and 1/32 railway sleepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 It would need to be a lot better than the old one. If as suggested above it could include silo's or silage clamp etc then it would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 to be quite honest i think it would be a waste of development money for a new playbase , considering the size of machinery that is available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
