I found a site where you can buy scale H beams and box profile and took a mad idea to build a model of the farm where I work, got the tape measure out and a 1.32 scale model would need 8m by 7m, that knocked that idea on its head

Unfortunately our attic is split into 3 and none of them are big enough, ive been up with the tape measure.

I'm trying to dig out my britains from the loft but the parents says it's not very social when a 25 year old is playing with his tractors when I have my cousins and aunts and uncles round. I can't see what they're on about tbh.

Shed in the Garden! You'd need @PDRD to quote for that one as it certainly won't be a garden shed!

my uncle has built a scale model of the farm he lived on as a kid, hes done the big farm house and a few buildings anyway, its in his garage no room for a car anymore but this was only a 100cow farm not in the same leage as yours

I wonder if the shed builders would give me a wee freebie considering the amount of work they get here.

I wrote to Britains and made a suggestion that they make that out of a police helecopter that they made at the time , got a letter back thanking me from them signed by "the captain" .Dont no if they took any notice though ! Was my claim to fame at the time

somewhere I have two letters signed by the captain each with the current catalogue 1981 1983 my most prized possession

Just looking at some of my gear by Britains.
What's your opinions on when it came to combines that they made ?
Could never get my head around why they did the ever so popular MF760 in the 70's, but then made the New Holland TR85.
Did hear of a couple of them type of NH's on trial in the UK, but were obviously more popular in the states.
Wouldn't a nice New Holland 8070 have been the ideal companion to the MF for us carpet farmers ?
They obviously had a New Holland licence to do the TR after all.
