Our Products

We stock a large range of products from suppliers including Bruder, Britains, Siku and Joal. All the products we sell are accurate replicas of farm and construction vehicles and equipment in everyday use.

The products we stock have been selected based on the following:-

• Design Features
• Ease of Use
• Safety
• Value for Money

Durable Plastic / Metal Diecast / Wood

The Bruder Toys and Britains Big Farm Toys are both made from high quality durable plastic. This makes them the ideal choice for more 'hands on' play, both indoors and outdoors.

Britains, Ertl, Joal, Siku and Wiking are metal diecast models more suitable for indoor play and are not designed for the same 'rough and tumble' as the plastic toys.

The Kids Globe range of farm buildings is made from wood and supplied 'flat pack' for quick and easy assembly.

Manufacturing Standards

Each item we supply is developed and tested under strict conditions and all comply with the European Standard EN 71 Safety of Toys and bear the CE mark.

The Regulations require toys to be designed and made so that they comply with safety requirements. The requirements include aspects such as mechanical safety, flammability, exclusion of toxic materials, hygiene etc.

Scale

The scale of an item refers to its relative size compared to the 'real thing'. For example, a 1:32 scale tractor is 32 times smaller than the actual tractor. So 1cm on the model would represent 32cm on the tractor. Therefore, the larger the scale number, the smaller the item.

The scale and dimensions of the products we supply are shown on the relevant description pages.The following are approximate lengths for a John Deere tractor in various scales.

1:87 scale = 55mm
1:50 scale = 115mm
1:32 scale = 160mm
1:16 scale = 320mm

As long as the scale remains the same, products from different manufacturers can be combined into a complete complementary collection.

All of the Bruder Toys and Britains Big Farm Toys are 1:16 scale, Britains Farm Models are 1:32 scale, while Kids Globe, Joal and Siku come in various scales.
