Only a retired teacher could afford to use a 50p coin, the rest would have to make do with a 2p coin.

It wouldn't fit, I did try, honest.

Just catching up on everything here, that Fordson is marvellous!  Geoff, our designer at work who etches the ornaments onto headstones, often gets asked to put tractors on and these older ones (which many of our customers used) are a real joy to see on the finished product - despite the sad occasion for needing them.

Tell me about the 1/76 stuff please - who produces it?  I could do with something similar to add to the Thirtle Bridge Camp diorama.

I bought it at the show at Bolton, it is from your old favourite WD models, and excellent they are too.
They are resin and etched brass. I think you have some of their figures.
Visit the website to see all the range.

Yes indeed.  Not only a good range but a very nice man at the helm.  Excellent service too.

Great Fordson, well done again!! Amazing that a Yorkshireman is willing to donate a coin of the realm for such abuse ;)

To be fair, it's not much of a realm nowadays so the value is a lot less than it would appear!

I have tried and failed to find the line that separates your diorama from the 'backdrop'.  Excellent work for both the modelling and the photography!
