Britains comes to mind.....most excellent!!!......please tell me they are Britains!
Sadly not Britains as they would be a bit overscale for my railway models, but I agree the Britains farm models are really nice. I do have a couple of Britains trees somewhere though.
Some of my sheep are from the old Airfix Farm Stock sets. When i was a lad these sets sold for two shillings each ( 10p in decimal ) down at the local newsagent. These days I have seen the same sets sell for as much as £40 on Ebay !! mine long since were pulled of their sprues and painted, and the boxes are long gone. I buy models to use them, not to keep them pristine in their original packaging. Kind of like James May, but on about 1% of his budget. lol.
Now that does sound interesting. Have you ever been to the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg?
It is bloody amazing, its the largest minature railway layout in the world.
I bet you would love it, I did, and I am not a model railway enthusiast.
