New Wiking Replicas are Coming in March!

Many new Wiking models, in both HO (1/87) and N (1/160) scales, are arriving in March. Two particularly interesting items are the 1/87 Volvo L 350F Wheel Loader (item #065202) and the 1/160 Lanz Bulldog 8506 Tractor in Brown (item #095103). 

#065202 - 1/87 Scale
March - April Arrival
Volvo 350F L Wheel Loader

 The Volvo 350F is articulated, features a working boom and bucket, and has accurate Volvo graphics.

#095103 - 1/160 Scale
March - April Arrival
Lanz Bulldog 8506 Tractor in Brown

This unique Lanz Bulldog would make an interesting addition to a vintage 1950's N scale farm layout. With its brown paint, it could easily pass for a rusted hulk in a more modern diorama as well.

Haying the Ertl Way!

Does the smell of freshly cut grass bring memories flooding back to you? Haying season is at our door steps and the smell of fresh cut grass means hard work for many farmers.

When you think of "haying the hard way", you might think of earlier days when haying meant a lot of physical work for the animals and farmers alike.

However, though farming is still hard work, with new technology and innovations, haying has become a less tedious chore than before.

If you are the John Deere kind of farmer, Ertl has some new 1/16 Scale models for you to choose from, which entails a lot less work than buying a real tractor!

God made farmers, and man made machines.

Did you guys catch the Super Bowl commercials last night?  There were some hilarious ones!  My favorite was probably the Audi commercial where the guy goes to prom.  The Axe Apollo one was pretty great too!

Humor aside, this Ram Paul Harvey commercial was very well done, in my opinion.  "So God made a farmer..."  My friends responded with applause.  If you didn't see it, take a minute to watch it here:

God made a farmer, and man made Ram and John Deere.  These John Deere models from ERTL arrived recently, and below is a sampling of the Ram models we offer.  Enjoy!
