agree with modelrailwayshed`s comment .will have to get to one one day keep up the great videos
Thanks for watching.
That green Hymek you picked up ,I actually got that in Hornby freight set in 1978 with a battery controller.
Nice locos the Hymeks, I have an old blue one but the green is much nicer. Thanks for watching and all the best Rick
Aww Triang cargo ship would have loved that if? Complete and not broken as usual.
Some lovely pond yachts might have had to spend on one of those.
All kinds of cool, but WOW, quite a bit of Märklin. Very sharp stuff, too!
Thanks for watching Anthony, I knew you would like some of the Marklin models. All the best Rick
nice swap meet guys... that 33 should be sitting proud on the mantle piece in the lounge🤣
Completely agree with you Neil, some people just don't appreciate art. 😂😂
It was great to meet up with you again, I got a few bargains too. See you at the next one👍😁😀
Sure was Tim, next up for us is the Leyland show. All the best Rick
@@wellchuffedrailways Thats a bit far, but will be at Shropshire on the 20th
Thanks for sharing. The show was held in a beautiful artistic old building with curved roof framing.
It's a great building with a very interesting history. All the best Rick
Fab show, thanks for the tour, enjoyed it.
Thanks Andy
It's funny how you came across the yellow loco with Connie on it as that's my wife's name lol
Hi Peter, we don't see many of the yellow ones but I might be tempted if we find one in good condition. All the best Rick
Another great video. So much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your experience. Great bargains. 🚦
Thanks for watching Paul
Great video again😊😊
The Mainline Peak was a great model - apart from the buffers on the body instead of the bogies!
Yes luckily it's not too noticeable but a strange decision on Mainlines part. Thanks for watching Rick
Hi Rick and Pauline what a great video thank you for looking at n gauge items as well lots of good bargains thanks for sharing 👍
Cheers Clive
I do think Paula is off to show me a round. And to show me some verry cool Trains too :)!!!! Ok nice Passenger car BUT I am looking at the Dicast cars lol!!! Yes you did do that on the Mustard one!!! Lot of Tankers to see O and some Corgi's too nice. I did think the $$$ were a bit higher this time ... But lol it could just be me. Flying Scotsman wow do I still want one . But for me they are so $$$ to get . + the price on line are just wow!!! More nice Corgi's in the back ground . This was just great of a show with lot of great Trains. All the best to you both and take care :)!!!!
Hi Brad, we filmed an awful lot of cars at a show yesterday but I will put them in our next vlog. Otherwise it will be a very long video. You will be very amused at one of the cars I bought! Thanks for watching and all the best Rick
This one was just great BUT LOL Car's in the next one wow you know I am in for that one mate!!!! But ok .... I am here anyway lol it did sound good :). But yes, I will be watching for that one!!! Cheers Rick:)!!
Really enjoy your bargain hunts Rick and Pauline, I love the Marklin steam loco ❤
Cheers Deano
Hi guys, another great video. Seeing the Pilkinton wagon brought back memories. Both my grandfather & uncle work in Pilkinton glass works in pontypool. They both worked there for many years & both retired there. All the best guys. Carl.
Hi Carl, you need to get yourself one of those wagons! All the best Rick
Great meeting you both today. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the fair and picked up a few bargains too! Steve & Dasha.
Likewise, I'm sure we will meet again, don't know where, don't know when but it will probably involve trains. I accidently bought a loco but my excuse was I've been looking for one for years and only seen a couple and this one was by far the best looker and it runs like new. All the best to you both Rick and Pauline.
Lots of interesting items on sale. I have the S&D 2P in prussian blue. I believe Hornby are doing them on pre order. Loads of bargains. Thanks for showing us round. Cheers Paul.
Hi Paul, very nice livery and I will pick one up one day! Cheers Rick
Nice as always I would have jumped on that Tamiya 222 armoured car at the side of R2D2 take care.
Hi Tony, I must have been distracted by R2! Cheers Rick
@@wellchuffedrailways Its very easy I should know.
that flying scotsman was worth buying , it was the double tender version with the crest on the cab side as the number was on one of the tenders
Hi, yes that makes sense I will keep an eye out for those in future videos. Cheers Rick
The Brighton Belle was an EMU (DC 3rd rail) not DMU. A 4-car Belle set is currently being restored at Locomotive Services at Crewe.
The Airfix coaches you said had been modified as a DMU were actually GWR Autocoaches manufactured by Airfix. They were for push-pull operation with steam locomotives like specially adapted Pannier tanks. Sometimes they ran as a pair with the locomotive in the middle of the formation.
Hi Neil, of course my mistake! Regarding the autocoach, I have the Airfix one but the one in the video had actually been motorised. Thanks for watching Rick
@wellchuffedrailways
Sorry, hadn't noticed the modified powered bogie. Interesting video. it's been a while since I visited a toy or model fair.
Hi Pauline and Rick it looks a great fair! The Marklin 2 coach rail car was a bargain at £50. You would pay that for the unpowered car new. Also the red loco (£225) you saw was a special model produced to show the Swiss Circus train, they also make various wagons. I am glad Pauline stop Rick buying the O Gauge Loco for the garden! Where was Bobby?
Hi Harry, there were some nice rare models we haven't seen before. I can live without the O gauge lol. As for Bobby it's a bit tricky filming the bigger shows with him and he does get heavy carrying him around which we have to as people can't see him. He's ok at the smaller shows but he much prefers the heritage railways. Thanks for watching Rick
Great video guys
Thanks David, another Toy Fair video is out on Sunday.
good vid thanks lee
Cheers Lee
The Lima o gauge loco would make a great 👍 display model with a bit of weathering and battery lights fitted . Just an idea 💡 😉
I think I might need a bigger shelf.
a while a go i mentioned to u that i was getting a model of flying Scotsman in mail (post) as a gift from a friend . i just got a communication from my friend stating that his credit card has been refunded. suspicion that scotts got lost in transit .( imo , poss stolen) was a nice gift attempt from my friend .
That sucks Alan, the delivery companies currently have a huge problem with theft as I know a few people who have had things lost in transit. Hope it gets sorted Rick
@@wellchuffedrailways the seller had refunded my friends credit card and he gave the seller five stars for that . if stolen, i hope the thieves enjoy scotts
Stop saying old! I use to sell them scotsman sets at the Co_op in Mansfield it makes me feel OLD ! Good one as always.
Thanks Christine, imagine supermarkets selling stuff like this now. I think Lidl had a couple of starter sets a few years ago. I will try and describe them as classic sets in the future! 😂😂!
i bought an old mainline class 45 in green from £12.00 just before pandemic. it run well box ex body ex only problem was it rubber tyres had perished.but it run better than my Class 45 which i ordered when it first came out.
Hi Martin, both my Mainline 45s run pretty well and if you got one for £12 you really can't complain. All the best Rick
Hi there Rick and Pauline ,, I ended up buying a rocket launcher from the uk a while a go the same as the one you showed at 13.56 and i was surprised to see that it still worked. It didnt have the rocket with it so to test it i put a cotton bud in it and cocked and fired it it and it landed into the top of the curtains and its still there to this day haha.
Also the 3 triang silver loco middle car and dummy car. The middle dummy car(no driving ends are as scarse as rockin horse poop here in oz and 35 quid for the 3 of them is an absolute bargain...
Probly best you didnt buy the mainline 45 class diesel loco as I have bought 7 or 8 of them over the last couple of years and all of them bar 1 run but have broken intermediate cogs and they click like heck and is annoying and i cant seem to find any replacement cogs ,, so if you (or anyone) knows where i can buy the replacement cogs can you please let me know as i want to get them all going as soon as i can.
Cheers from John in Australia
Hi John, those rocket launchers along with everything else they did are incredibly well made. You can get replacemt rockets on eBay if you run out of cotton buds! Almost all the ones we see still work! That Tri-ang silver set really caught our eye as well and funnily enough we saw the same set at a toy fair today. Thanks for watching Rick
Hi Guys. Another enjoyable video from you both. That 9f Crosti would have been coming home with me if i had seen it 😀
Hi Andrew, it was a nice loco but I was on a strict budget! Thanks for watching Rick
No rick 33 oh i thought you were going to for a min you were tempted .
0 Gauge is the last thing we need, we are running out of space as it is!
No way! I live near Port Sunlight and didn’t know about this 😞
The next one is 10 September. Cheers Rick
Fisons...not pronounced Fissons, try F - eye - sons, used to be in Ipswich, fertilizer makers amongst other things. Great video, very interesting, thank you.
Thanks Simon
watneys was a very well known brewer of beers
We were discussing Watneys at a fair yesterday when we found another of these vans. A few of the traders mentioned it was a horrible pint! Cheers Rick
£40 for a O gauge Lima 33 was a bargain.
Absolutely! They're usually about £80+ on ebay most of the time
Looks like plenty of bargains...
Sure was!
It's a lot cheaper to buy private imo I got
Black hornby pendalino set £50
Tornado pullman express box set £25
1983 370 apt 5 car set £30
Amazes me just how many are in original boxes
The black American locomotives NS i believe were Norfolk Southern GP units road switchers i think in N scale
