sunday photo fun 20-02-2005
Posted by daan on Saturday, February 19, 2005 4:50 PM
Hi guys,
early sunday photo fun, wanted to post a few pictures, though no trains involved this time. Train time stopped for the moment due to a new hobby which takes my time for now. (don't worry, trains are still there, just got no time left due to some changes I've to make in the garden to fit in the new things..)

This is my new toy[:D]

and this is the new toy my girlfriend has..[:D]

They need a new shed in the front yard, otherwise I can't get them under a roof..

We are back from the Toy Show and boy did we find so good stuff. We pick up some porcelain cold cast Circus Wagons, made by Ertl.


















And then we pick up a car for our Halloween Layout.







And we also found these tractors (eat your heart out Chief)

In Holland there are still a fair amount of Lanz Bulldog tractors operational. In May we have the sheep-market
in a small village near where I live where they have an old tractor show every year. Those Lanz Bulldogs (3 of them)
are allways in that show. It takes a while to get them running (huge 1 cil diesel) and when they run it's a very nice sound.
The motor is based on a steam engine (huge, slow revving engine) and has an allmost 1:1 gear ratio when driving
"fast". It really sounds like: thud..thud..thud..thud..thud.
When idling the whole tractor jumps up and down due to the huge piston weight. Those are marvellous machines!!
