Thanks for letting me in the video
My mind BOGGLES seeing that just the sheer scale of so many trains in one place. And why we still have an older generation that’s not getting on board with the whole Ebay and everything else I bet you you would find some absolute treasures. I have a few things on my list. I’m trying to chase down, but I’ll never get access to something like this truly awe inspiring and I’m sure, there are just about several of these every single weekend somewhere in your wonderful country. For me there is only one specific thing I am chasing and I bet you you even spotted one there on the day well, I guess it’s back to just scouring the Internet and hoping that an eBay search may turn up great content and keep little Miss magpie happy
Hi, a lot of the sellers use eBay but yes a surprising amount do not as it can be a lot of hassle. We have quite a few of these locally although not as many as in the past. They are also popular with Star Wars collectors, Lego and others. Hope you find what you are looking for. Thanks for watching Rick
@@wellchuffedrailways probably won’t but he is hoping well that’s the thing and I try and diversify the channel 1 minute. We’re talking about care Bears the next minute it’s matchbox hot wheels, Lego trains and everything else and including the airport they’re all good.
We have a great variety of different shops and good bargains I once got a set of 10 LNER choachs for £60 wow at primrose model railway shows
Well done! 😀
Great video guys 😊
Thanks for the visit
Another load of bargains some lovely coaches and trains we had some bargains at our local train fair yest lol
Thanks for watching Caroline. Did you get some more Rustons! 😀
@@wellchuffedrailways no but had some shunters lol

That looks a good fair, nice to see the 3 rail bargains which i always look for. Hope to see you at the Nmdrm Open Day in New Mills Parrish Hall on 14th October . Thanks again. 😊
Thanks Stuart, hopefully we can make it to the open day. All the best Rick
Just back from Callander toy fair , one of the few up here in Scotland . Prices are horrendous £20 for a Mainline mk1 , £9 each for LNER celestories that you showed in this video . Wish we had Anoraks Anonymous up here !
MOS . Ministry of Supply . I think it was a wartime livery
Hi Russell, prices are all over the place at the moment. It definitely pays to shop around. Cheers Rick
some cheap locos there the class 40 at 18.42 looked like a jouef loco and for £16 great video guys
Not bad models if you get a good one. I picked one up a few years ago and it runs very well. Thanks for watching Rick
Hi Guys great video. MOS wagon which I assume to be Ministry of Supply and therefore a wartime wagon? Also it was really nice to meet you both in person at last and thank you for taking the time to have a chat 👍
Thanks for sharing
Andy
How cool you got to meet!
Thanks Andy good to meet you too.
There is a show in the town of jarrow model railway club at primrose community center in may 2024 18-19 there are grate models
That's a bit far for us to go unless we are in the area. If you have some info I will share it in the group. Thanks for watching and all the best Rick
Super show, loads of bargains. I wish I could get to the bargains. Unfortunately, old, poor and tired, unlike most of the bargains in your video. Thanks for a great Sunday viewing. 🎉
Thanks very much Paul
Hi mate how’s it going? This show is absolutely incredible. I have definitely done some big shows in the past, but this would look like in a Normas train show. I really enjoyed it. Definitely thanks for showing some of the buses and corgis plus you know I love passenger cars in the shut up bunch of those two loved it. The whole video was fantastic. Thanks for showing and have a great week my friend take care. ✌️👍‼️
Thanks very much Brad, all the best Rick
Nice display of Trains
Thanks Arthur
Thanks for another great video, good to see the Turbo car working. I used to have some of the Battlespace series as a kid, sadly gone but now going round toy fairs picking them up . Managed to get the Q car very rare only 3 to 5 thousand made.
Good fun the battlespace! I bought the turbo car and I am doing a video on it. Good luck with your collecting. Cheers Rick.
Very good video lots of bargains nice to see some n gauge thank you 👍
Thanks Clive
So much caught my eye watching your video lot bargins. weathered cct van I would love my layout. Your knowledge is amazing
Thanks very much for watching. I know a bit but not half as much as some of our viewers whose knowledge amazes me. All the best Rick
Another great walkthrough of a show, you two! There were so many cool things to see and hear about. I tell you what- I would have popped for that Silver Fox set you showed at the start, if someone convinced me it was a good price. Now, am I the only one that sees the Thomas #1 looking just like the Max the Blue Meanie #1 (check them out). Max is not the Chief Blue Meanie, but he wears #1, and it looks just like the Thomas #1... and the same colors, including the blue. Uh-oh.
Hi Anthony, a Silver Fox is definitely a set I would like to pick up at some point but I did buy the two locos I detailed in the video, there goes my budget! It would not surprise me if Thomas is related to the #1 Blue Meanie! Thanks for watching Rick
That is defiantly a fair where you go to with a limited budget and no credit cart.🤣
The wow things I saw, were a lot, I almost dare not to look…🤭.
I've just returned home from a small model train fair here in Belgium, mostly continental stuff, but fun to look at, just a nice Sunday out with a fellow collector and old college.
But to my surprise there was one vendor, I think he must have about over 100 complete sets in pristine boxes, all in super good condition, of Hornby Dublo end 50's early 60's, all British rolling stock.
Most of it tin toy 3 rail also some two rail.
Looked as he was selling someones stock, who past away.
Feld a bit sorry for the guy, this stuff doesn't sell here, I think some UK collectors would have gone wild, €20 per box, I think that's a steal in that condition for the fans of this old Hornby Duplo.
Unfortunately not the UK stuff I'm after.
I came home with two horse drawn carts, like this person in the video wanted to offer you, there perfect for my Edwardian high street…
Anyway thanks again for this great video, alway fun to look at the odd stuff you find…
Cheers, Danny
Hi Danny, a strict budget helps and knowing that most things will become available at some point. The mega rare stuff is obviously the exception but that's out of my budget anyway. Interesting that the Dublo models are cheap on the continent. Thanks for watching Rick
The dark (Prussian) blue coaches were a footplate models commission of Dapol for 3 types of Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway. Dapol used their LMS suburban coaches for this. I would have snapped them up in the blink of an eye Rick.
Hi Andy, thanks for the info I had no idea they were a special commission. All the best Rick
Some good bargains there Rick, thanks as always for sharing.
Thanks Andrew
I would of brought that pack of three wrenn green Pullman’s if I was there good price ,all the best Rick
Mark 😊😊
Hi Mark, any other time I would have. All the best Rick
Hi Pauline and Rick, when I was younger I had a 0-4-0 Connie tank engine , with the stick on Connie name boards! It was the fastest loco I ever owned. Also the blue electra, at the show! How’s the wagons coming along?
Fast aren't they Harry! No news on the Bobby wagons yet. Might be awhile. All the best Rick
M O S could mean ministry of supply which i tink was a wartime govenrment department.
M.O.S i believe is Ministry of supply so i presume its war time, Great video Rick and Pauline all the best take care.
Thanks for the info, all the best Rick
MOS = Ministry of Supply from WW2
Love it exellent vid both of you did you drive to stafford or by train if train what took you 350 or a 390 ,lots of good stock in the vid.
Hi and good morning! We drove to the fair. Cheers Rick
M.O.S stands for ministry of suply , they are private tankers that would have been glass lined as they carried acid for the production of explosives the main depot was at the bishopton ordanance factory ,, they are now royal ordanance factories there was a big one in chorley now developed into a small town
Cheers Shakey
MOS stands for Ministry Of Supply
Only 4 A4s were in Silver Livery for LNER
MOS is Ministry of Supply ?
Who was the trader selling the dark blue coaches?
I'm not sure I'd have to watch the vid again, not all traders have info for us but I will get back to you.
m o s is ministry of supply rick
Dont see any Bargains there seems like many over priced used items
It pays to check out all the stalls. Cheers Rick
