 :)  That type of trailer looks just as good behind our miniature traction engien, we hae had it over 12 months and its done some mileage across rally fields loaded with water and children not at the same time and the occasional adult ( ie someone who occasionally behaves like an adult). As for reversing we pick it and push it.  Ours also came with a separte towing handle.

Yes !! this came with the aforsaid handle...Taking Richards advice I unscrewed some of the bits and then Glued/rescrewd it back together..
Time will tell how good it is ..but first impressions are very good and it certainly looks the part behind the tractor...It's painted red now...Photo to follow when dry..
Going out for it's first "real" test this weekend....4 x kids aged 2-7years
It is going to be based on a Nuffield tractor of the 1950's

Hello Wilber, you've got a repaint on your hands then, I think Nuffield tractors were grey.  :D

What ever, it looks very nice, congratulations.

Yes, I get the message Wilber.  :D  Sorry, I think I'm confusing the Massey Ferguson which I believe had some link with Lord Nuffield.

A fluke that one should be on Telly tonight driven by John Craven.

I'll get my hat shall I.  :D

Just to upset you further, Massey Fergusons were also red, your thinking of Ferguson which did mainly grey tractors untill they merged with Massey Harris.

Hi Guys,

Enough of the paint schemes...

How about putting some new pictures in the 'Gallery' under Tractors??

Regards,
Mark.
