MrWolf Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 We like railcars. Proof that the Great Western could do streamlining when they thought that it was worth the bother. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted June 10, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) The Fordson N is waiting in the wings to make it's appearance in a new cameo at Middle Farm. Just waiting for some figures to arrive from Modelu (in the post) and then I can set the scene. So you will have to be patient and just settle for some arty pictures of the tractor posing on a puddle! As you can imagine these pictures are much larger (depending on what you view this on of course) than the actual model so they pick wort's and all....

MrWolf Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 That looks great, just like the oily rag "off farm condition" guaranteed to start a bidding war between tractor collectors at a farm auction. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted June 10, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2021 I did, some pages back, suggest you placed one of those diamond shaped bridge loading signs either end of the bridge ,but it’s too late now - the rural joyriders have risked blocking the main line with a bridge collapse. It’s lucky they didn’t use the traction engine! 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
