"David Pullen's book is very informative, and gives a great description of each model featured as well as the standard model's details. Photographs of prototype and rare models are also included." - Irish Vintage Scene
Product Description
Collecting farm models is a popular hobby worldwide. Britains have been a leading manufacturer of these models for over eighty years, producing many initiative standard setting models. The company launched its first model baler in the late 1960s and its first combine ten years later, receiving the UK Toy of the Year Award in 1978 for the latter. Since launching these models, Britains has produced over 60 baler and combine models or variations from leading farm machinery manufacturers such as Bamfords, Case IH, Farmhand, John Deere, Krone, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Vermeer and Vicon. David Pullen has collected many of these models and researched their development. The book includes a long section describing how the range developed, plus details of prototypes and some of the manufacturing background. Also, to allow the reader to identify different model variations, catalogs are included in which individual models are examined - giving for each color photographs, their main features and issue packaging.

As a certain TV advert says, this book "does what it says on the tin"! A short history of Britains models and the manufacturing processes used open the volume and are followed by a useful overview of the range as a whole. This leads into a comprehensive and detailed catalogue of all models and variations of Britains balers and combines. A short bibliography and useful tables detailing the release dates, etc. for each model close the book. Superbly illustrated with hundreds of clear photographs, this book should be regarded as the best book of its kind available. Sensibly, all price details given are for the ORIGINAL retail price only, so will not become out of date as time passes and these models/toys grow in value. An indispensable read for all collectors!
