Click & Return to Index WELCOME Tractors & Farm Machinery 1958 Fordson Major Model Description This is a 1:16 scale die-cast metal with both plastic and real rubber parts. This model was designed and made by Universal Models in England, and is well known for its detailed Tractors and Farm Machinery. Built to their design and quality, that is reflected in this model. The attention to detail is there for everyone to see. The Tractor This model is one of the most detailed die-cast models available for collectors today. This tractor was one of the Fordson brand tractors made in the 1:16 scale, which allowed more detail than was available for collectors. For those collectors who collect these models, this one continues the models put out by Universal. From the front grill to the drawbar at the back, this is a miniature version of the real tractor. Done out in that Ford blue paint, it is offset by the orange of the wheel rims. The paintwork has been presented, and the Fordson emblems and decals, no matter their size, can be read easily. The front wheels can be turned using the steering wheel. The working parts of this tractor, such as the gear shift, hand brake and other components, have been done to the 1:16 scale without that bulky look as on some models. The Engine We have a number of tractors in our collection, yet many of them do not have that degree of detail. So much work has gone into it to show just about every part and even the wiring. The batteries show even the battery leads can be seen attached to the electrical components. We can see the starter setup with the shifter rod that activates the starter. The diesel piping completes from the fuel tank to the fuel injectors that can be seen going to each of the cylinders. The radiator can be clearly seen in great detail, with also the air cleaner right where it should be. Lifting the folding bonnet allows you to see a detailed look at the battery, but also allows you to see in more details of the radiator cooling system with all the hoses. Every small detail, even down to the bolts and screws, can be seen in their place as on the real tractor. The Drivers Work Station The detail continues even with more detail. The controls, such as the hand brake, throttle lever, starter lever, gearbox selector, have been done to an amazing scale. The bucket seat down to the seat cushion is as detailed as everything else. The instrument panel, even though primitive compared to more modern tractors, the details of the individual dials show them just like the real instruments used on the real Fordson. All switches and buttons have been downsized to the scale and identifiable well. The Hydraulic System It's not just the die-cast metal parts produced in such detail, but includes the rear hydraulic system, which has been mainly done in plastic. This shows how fine a detail you can produce using plastic. On the model, the arms can be raised and lowered, and the drawbar can be moved, just like on the real Nuffield. However, because of the detail used on this model, it is unable to use any attachable equipment. The lighting available on the real basic model were the head-lights and the two small lights on the mudguard but no doubt other types of lights would have been available. There is so much going on here. Toolbox, chains that move, the hydraulic arm that moves up and down.

This coupe makes now a pair of the E-Type. The review that I did of the Cabirioilet was not good, however this model I can report is a better model. Exterior, as with the other E-Type, the body is as good if not better, but where I had problems with fitting of panels, this model does not suffer from this. All the doors, bonnet and rear door opens, with perhaps the door could open wider. The entire panels including thebonnet which lift completely open and gives one a complete view of the engine. This type of mount can be seen on somcars and I am sure is welcome by mechanics who have to fix some hard to get engines. The rear door/trunk lifts sideways instead of uo ad in this model open wide to give a very good look into the interior. Those famous spoked wheels are a delight to behold. The interior is the same style as the other E-type we have, with the same style of seats. Everything else is the same with ery good readability of all fixtures and parts. The use of wood type fitting are thoughout of the model including the knob on the gearshift. Being a two seater, it still shows that it cargo sace in the back with its carpet style floor covering is quite good. The engine is the same as on the other E-Types. Quite detailed. However it has been as one piece and therefor with the chrome coluld have been made so that other parts could brake that colour up to improve the visabile nature of the engineThe only other colour is the blab inregards to th radiator. So overall this is a nice model. It has been put together nicely and opening doors and the front to get access to the engine is good also.Rear door opens wide and fits well. So representing one of Britians best designed motor cars has been done quite well.Dispite being built to a price rather than quality, it still manages to show of that famous Jaguar emblem. very collectable and no douht this is in many a collection and rightly so. Jaguar has aexcellent reputation when it comes to its cars, and while some fall down in the quality departmnt, there is no douht whenever you go, these motorcars alway get those admiring looks. The only critisum I have is the engine. However Iwill give this a 4.75/5.0. Robin Finlay 16/01/2023.
