Ertl 12924: Farm Country Grain Feed Set, 1:64 Scale

Since 1993, this Ertl Grain Feet Set has evolved very little to how it looks today, still in the Ertl Country Farm series, designed to work with all previous and existing Ertl toys. The reason behind this playset is so the children can get a farm set up and running right away with no additional items, but this grain feed set sure needs a few tractors and animals.

Complete Grain Set

Long-standing Ertl 'Farm Country' grain feed set is all you need to get a working farm up and running right out of the box.

There's three grain bins with removable tops, an auger tower and farm shed that both fix tightly to the base, with the tubs running across to connect the auger to the grain bin tops.

Down on the ground fun is added with the die-cast Ertl grain truck in 1:64 scale, with bales of hay, metal effect corral, wheelbarrow and more accessories.

Die-cast grain truck

The 'Farm Country' series to known to supply everything they need to operate a toy farm, and this is possible thanks to a dinky 1:64 scale die-cast metal Ertl toy grain truck.

This truck features six free-rolling wheels, blanked out drivers cabin windows, a large payload back for taking away grain, with the words: Tyler Transport, spruced across the truck.

This Ertl die-cast toy truck can be pushed around the playset or ridden over the base and inside the farm shed, and the trucks container top can be removed to be filled up with grain to be taken away.

Tower auger

This complicated mess of tubes, pipes and fixings help this auger suck up grain into the grain bins via the tops - and this one replicates a tower auger for large scale work.

Affix the tower to the plastic base to keep it standing upright, then follow the instructions to fix the tubes from the auger to the corresponding grain bin tops.

It has a detailed steel effect frame with metal piping, well half way up the tower sit's the platform for the grain worker to observe, well the auger is in operation.

Farm shed on base

Once assembled, the farm shed will fix to the base with the corresponding indentations. Here the accessories can be stored, as can the Ertl toy grain truck, though they will spend most of the time driving directly through.

Access is gained from both sides, but the roof panel can be removed for unlimited access inside - bare in mind the roof panel does go towards stabilizing the whole farm shed structure.

Designed to fit where the instructions (or picture) suggests, but can go where ever there imagination takes them, and this is true for the silo's, well they can leave off the base all together.

Accessories

Ertl 'Farm Country' playset's are not without there accessories to offer more value in place, as it gives them tasks to do around the farm.

Not promoted often with this set, but you will get a pair of saw horses (usual as it is), a wheelbarrow, sacks of grain, bales and a set of six red plastic farm corral panels which clip together.

The shed will be used to drive the truck through often but there is space on the side within it to store these little accessories indoors, and out of the way.

Easy assembly

You have an instruction manual there if you need it, but you won't as this grain playset is very simple to put together without reference.

Take the two silo's for example, they are clipped together by the top and bottom half, before putting on the top and base, well the bigger silo is cut in half sideways but the top goes on same as before.

Then put the side walls up on the shed, find it's position on the plastic base, assemble the tower auger and pop the tubes to the tops of the grain bins - you may need a little help here from the manual.
