When you see the scale and size and functionality off this, one can just wonder What's next.

Very smart models, can tell the operator of the tractor and plough has never driven one in real life. The plough is the wrong side up.

I too was chuckling over that

A pretty impressive display! .
To be more realistic the machines would have to be smoother ...........or they could just model a fibre optic gang, the jerky wild movement and abrupt vehicle shunts would look natural

One of my toys 2" traction engine I built currently building a 6" (half full size) it's sat under my bench for 2 years I enjoy the building rather than the steaming

Are certain components available off-the-shelf? How much has to be built from scratch?

Welland this weekend .... anyone thinking of going ?

I'm going to a local one, Dacorum Steam Fair (Hertfordshire) otherwise I'd have thought of having a weekend away.
We're taking our Dexta and MF35, hopefully next year we'll have some slightly more unusual tractors- matching pair of MF203 industrials and my twin engined ransomes Mg5

 

[heritage machining]

I have a 1966 Winget tractor I use round the yard I took that to prestwood a few years back but I usually take my sunbeam s8 and sidecar
