I think the Ford was a trans-continental, big ugly looking thing but it would not pull the skin off a rice pudding.
This site does seem as busy as the other one. Maybe not so many arguements either.
I posted some photos of some models I had bought a few years ago when my son was born but the most important one was the BMC 4 wheeler which was what my dad started with but I can not find it. They all cost a fortune over here and I have the wife turning the house upside down.
Any way there is a F88 in the Nicol's of Aberdeen colors and then an old Foden and a newer Scammel both in Stobarts colors. Those are the ones I wanted to keep good plus the BMC and the others are just toys.
