OUR PRODUCTS
We stock a large range of products from suppliers including Bruder, Britains, Siku, Breyer, Brushwood and many more. 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

DURABLE PLASTIC / METAL DIECAST / WOOD
The Bruder range and Britains Big Farm are both made from high quality durable plastic. This makes them the ideal choice for more 'hands on' play, both indoors and outdoors.
Britains, Siku & Joal are metal diecast models more suitable for indoor play and are not designed for the same 'rough and tumble' as the plastic toys.
The Universal Hobbies, Wiking and Norscot models are highly detailed and suitable for collectors only.
Brushwood and Kids Globe farm buildings are 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.
