Hello, Sam! I got a model of Stephenson's Rocket in the mail on Saturday, and oddly enough, its wheels don't move because they are permanently attached to the body shell. Same for the tender and coach that came with it. But considering it was made by Amercom, which usually makes model combat vehicles, this is quite accurately represented!
Nice finds! There are also quite a few American 'food train' cars, most are made by Tcyo, while some are actually accurate models of reefers back in the 1930s and earlier!
Wow Sam. The amount you can splash on loco's and other model railway items makes me very jealous. I recently bought one of the new Hornby railroad Flying scotsman models for £70 (not great price but oh well) and I'm gonna convert it into an A3 with german style deflectors. Not sure what name I'll do but I know I'm painting it BR blue
haha don't be jealous mate - I've still got to maintain it all, lol! Ooh that's not a bad price actually - but good luck with your conversion, let me know how you get on!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Very nice, I very much like the D16. You should make a train containing ALL your open wagons, would be quite a beast I'm sure. I also hope we'll see some TRIX reviews in the future. :)
The Midland 4f is one of the Best 0-6-0 tender locos Bachmann has, hope we see it soon running (i wan't 1 too). I brought some locos too at the last weeks fair: 3 French Jouef locos, 1 steam (2-8-0 tender), and 2 electric (1 bo'bo' 1 Co'Co). I'm expanding my french collection, and i already decided to upgrade the old Jouef stuff to Bis models. So i need 2-3 form the same class, take them apart, and build an all wheel drive, all wheel pickup, heavy monster, with directional lights; from the best parts.And if u want to buy a German (black/red) steamer I recommend Roco, Fleischmann, and Liliput products, they have the best price/value score, and their detailing is very good too. Trust me I use mostly them, just try to get locos made after 1992.
Sam, have you seen the new Limited Edition Mallard? It's to celebrate the 80th anniversary from when it broke the speed record! It is VERY expensive because it has 18 carat GOLD wheels and metal pieces, it also has facts about Mallard on the box and it even includes a plaque! Any chance you will be getting it? Better save up!
haha yeah I've seen it... but it's not something I'd ever buy... the gold wheels are awesome, but they're ruined if you run them! I'll look forward to seeing other people get them though! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I'v seen that too. It comes with a record plaque, and a very nice presentation box! :-) I got the 70th anniversary Mallard 10 years ago now, and I'm still over the moon with it. :-) And there's no way I would run it because of the gold. But then I didn't by it to run it, as I have 2 other mallards to use, so I'm fine with that. :-) Makes a gorgeous static display though! :-D
There are some great bargains to be had at train fairs, usually in the rummage boxes plus I have a list of wagons and coaches to get although many of my wagons are kit built these days. There's a train fair here in Rugby every so often. I just can't wait for this lockdown to end so I can save up a nit of cash and go to some. Not easy when you have a kid though lol
saw some trains today in cash converters, way out of my price range they were the special engines from hornby, mallard and evening star, as well as a red box with a queen's engine as in princess elzibeth's train or something facey, all were about just over 200 pounds i think, there is another set still there which is a draw like set with i think 3 pullman coaches or two and one engine and a load of track but its in the box. the engines that were singles were gone by the time i was going home at 4 in the afternoon the main se is still there,
Ahh okay mate - yeah you find that those cash converter shops don't have a clue what that sort of stuff is worth - sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Really nice stuff there! I have the exact same LNER D16 in black but I think I may have got an even better bargain than you - I won a £150 voucher from Hornby in their advent calendar a few years ago so I got the D16 when it came out brand new for free!!
dirt means 2 things, either years of sitting around in a shed/garage/storage place/loft, or years of being smoked on as in thick layer of nickoteen which is a smell i like (yes 'm odd)
Good Evening Sam my friend, good to see you got more stuff from the train fair. Very interesting wagons you got and not forgetting the locomotives, I like the Hornby Black D16, Bachmann Collett Goods Engine and the Bachmann Midland 4F. That's the Bachmann Midland 4F No.43924 with the Fowler Tender 9:26. I too have the Bachmann Midland 4F No.43924 in my collection. No.43924 you might know, became the 1st steam locomotive to be rescued from Barry Scrapyard in South Wales in 1968 by the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, where she still runs today. You should visit the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway one day so you can see 43924, I haven't went there myself yet, but I'm planning to go there this year. You should definitely review the Bachmann Midland 4F soon, after you service her and not forgetting the Bachmann Collett Goods and the Hornby LNER Black D16 in separate videos. Fantastic video of your goodies from the Train Fair. 😉
Hi Jordan, thanks a lot mate - glad you liked the haul! Ooh I didn't know that actually - thanks a lot for the cool info! I will do my best to review all of these at some point! :D Cheers, Sam :)
Well, I just got here from work so I think you had a more fun day than myself. Nostalgia tho. For as long as I can remember I have had one of those Pounsbery wagons, and the red van I always thought it was a little bright but I have had it since the mid-90s. does feel very light with the plastic wheels mine has. and I have No idea where I even got them from. Nice haul I look forward to some of those reviews.
Awhh sorry about that - good way to get more train pennies though? :D Glad it was nostalgic for you though - I feel the same about my first few locos and wagons! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Yeah I think you might be right - though I do have some LNER freighters which were unlined - so maybe it was just passenger ones that had it?? Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Yes Sam that is a BR blue triang hymek diesel locomotive and yes you have made me very happy thank you! Sam!. Steam loco for £17 ?? Yesss wishful thinking, if only they were that price Sam. Poundsbery wagons you bought five of, I thought you had some in black or am I confusing them with the ocean wagons that you have a huge rake of?
Thanks Matthew - thought it was! haha absolutely - I'd buy a tonne of them if they were £17, lol! Yes you're right - the Ocean wagons are probably the same model, just in a different colour! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thanks a lot Russell! There's definitely a fair share of expensive stuff there - but I only go looking for the serious bargains, lol! ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, great Pullman you got your self at the train fair and some very colourful wagons. I love these train fairs, always bring too much back with me. We used to have quite regular large train / toy fairs at NRM Shildon until late last year. Sadly NRM Shildon seems to be under a new management strategy. They cancelled most of the fairs late last year and over the Christmas and New Year period! The next one is not until June! Very sad. There are others to go to, but this was a really good one situated at the Railway Museum. What more could you want for a day out. Oscar
Thanks a lot Oscar - I was very pleased with the pullman! Awhh sorry to hear so many have been cancelled - that can't be good news for the Hobby :/ Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi mate! There are all sorts of ones - the best thing to do is google it, and you should find out where the ones near you are!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
hi Sam. I've got that red box van (4.04 on your video) and its a lovely little van. Also had the McCain's van for a very long time until an accident with a set of points and an express (ouch) lol
Sam'sTrains hi Sam. No sadly the McCains wagon didn't survive much. One of the wheel supports was broken off so now the wagon body awaits a new base, which will need to be glued on because one of the clips also got broken. ah well. One day I'll get there :)
Hi Sam! Have you been at NRM York? Have you been in the model railway shops? And do they have like Hornby steam locomotives, PECO Rail Cleaner PL-41, and some Hornby Skaledale stuff?
Hi Kamil, yes I've been to York - there aren't many shops, but yes I believe you should be able to pick up basic supplies like that from York! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Allen, that's a very good question - I dread to think actually - it must be about 500 in total now, including all the american ones etc! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
You’ve gotta start a merch store and instead of shirts you’ve got socks and slippers cuz that’s mostly what we see of you It’d be a perfect meme for your channel
Awesome I just went to a train fair yesterday and I did some hunting around to try and get multiple wagons of the same type and I even did a bit of bartering and saved about 15 pounds on some stuff I also got a mint condition metal wheeled lner brakevan for only 2 pounds!! Great job
That's great to hear mate - wow £15 is not to be sniffed at - good work! :D Blimey - I'm jealous - £2 for any wagon, let alone mint with metal wheels, is brilliant! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
You can never have enough wagons and the blue Pullman looks interesting. Oh, just one more thing, my friend would like to know what grade you are on the piano, if you don't mind telling.
haha absolutely - I just love finding new ones that I've never seen before! I did take some piano grades when I was younger, but I play by ear these days - I don't use music at all! I reckon I got to about grade 4 - still got the certificates somewhere lol! ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
wow sam! glad you found the D16 when i saw the D16 it was love at first sight1 i found a good bargin on ebay for a mercant navy with tts sound. on the hornby website it was 300 dollars but on ebay it was only 150. by the way like you my favorite english locos are the bulled pacifics
Some great bargains there Sam.The Blue Pullman looks very neat.Will be interesting to hear how loud it is..Mine and others i have seen seem to scream when running.Am surprised how cheap you can pick up wagons.I have never once been to a train fair.We have one i believe that visits here..Rugby warwickshire....Think its Barry Potter toy and train fairs...But i have never attended.My problem,i have my hand into too many hobbies..Ie G scale garden trains..Triang OO..Mamod and Wilesco traction engines..to name but 3..But i am Master of none..If that`s the right term.Really got to decide where to thin out and increase...Getting so frustrated as i am still waiting on getting a shed area completed,in order for a new shed...for the oo Gauge stuff.Prepared most of the area myself..but need a landscaper to remove a deeply rooted plant in the way.As yet,he has not been able to come..Meanwhile the triang railway is all packed away....NOT A GOOD SCENARIO IN THIS HOBBY Lol...Garden rail wise.Well,its too bloomin cold !! Sorry..Big comment....more like an e mail....enjoy your new purchases...Adrian
Thanks a lot Adrian - mines actually not too loud, but because I stripped it down and thoroughly serviced it! Absolutely - these fairs are the best place to pick up wagons - unbelievably cheap sometimes! haha yeah that's the problem - not enough time in the day to do all you want to! Good luck with the shed though, hope you can get something sorted out! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam! May I ask, if in The Train Fairs do they also sell wooden trains like BRIO? Because I want to sell my wooden trains to spent my money on model railways.
Great video mate!! Some great rolling stock and locos by the look of things, can't wait to see the collet goods up for a review, all the best mate --- Ben
I spend just as much on coaches and wagons as I do locos! In the past at fairs I have got super detailed Bachmann and hornby coaches for 20 to 30 pounds! Although at nearly £60 the new Bachmann birdcage coaches are to over priced for me
Ooh awesome - that's probably a good idea -- £20 - £30 for the super detailed ones is absolutely fantastic!! :D I agree - I can't afford those at that price, lol! ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Fun fact I actually know what that red box wagon is from it’s from the permanent way starter set it was my first set i got for my birthday 13 years ago
You did well with the whole lot Sam but £18 for the Pullmans was a bargain, thats the kind of money i would want to pay but never seen them yet for that money.
Thanks so much mate - I couldn't believe that price - I'd been looking for the blue version for ages, but wasn't willing to pay much! Thanks for watching mate, Sam :)
Very nice video and you had posted right on my Birthday. Man, I wish I had watched it on that day. Still, good haul there, I'm quite looking forward to watching the videos on those locos.
OOh some nice ones! I am gonna start saving up money for Model Rail Scotland I'm excited to go as its by train which will be enjoyable! Also I saw a Class 800 in GWR at my level crossing - Rare for me, makes me want the model a little bit (Its VERY expensive however) Cheers mate! Ed.
Thanks very much Ed - ooh nice, hope you have fun there when it comes around! That sounds awesome though - I've certainly never seen one in real life! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam nice video of you haul I like the blue Pullman and the d16 I have one just the same but number # 8825 where yours is # 8802. also I checked Hatton's site today and found out there p class models wont arrive till march except for there SECR livery ones will arrive around early may.
omg, how on earth do you find these lol, you have loads from your trip, a very mint condition on a triang blue Pullman, how much money do you take with you everytime lol, im going to come steel your fame at your loco train fair lol
haha I know - I just love searching for bargains, lol! Well I set quite a bit of cash aside to spend on trains - since my channel is a bit part of my business, so I need to keep buying stock to show! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Collett Goods 0-6-0? Kind of my style, she is a GWR engine. I don't own one myself, but I just can't wait to see yours. Everybody look left, everybody look right; Everywhere you look he's standing in the spotlight. Let every engine go for broke and sing, Let's see her in the flesh and on the wing; It's gonna be King Sammy's finest fling. Oh I just can't wait to see her spring.
Hello, Sam! I got a model of Stephenson's Rocket in the mail on Saturday, and oddly enough, its wheels don't move because they are permanently attached to the body shell. Same for the tender and coach that came with it. But considering it was made by Amercom, which usually makes model combat vehicles, this is quite accurately represented!
Pretty great haul, BTW! (Your haul, not mine) X^D
It is indeed a Hymek. Also called class 35s.
OOh okay mate - sounds fantastic - enjoy it mate!!
Glad you liked this new stuff anyway - and thanks for the info on the Hymek! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
That Beefeater wagon is one of the ones I am on the look out for as I like to collect brand wagons
Thanks mate - ooh nice, happy shopping mate - good luck with your search! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Nice finds! There are also quite a few American 'food train' cars, most are made by Tcyo, while some are actually accurate models of reefers back in the 1930s and earlier!
Ahh okay mate - thanks for that, I'll keep an eye out for those!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Some great finds mate, love the Bachmann 4F.
Thanks very much mate - I was very happy with the 4F too! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
This looks like a great train fair you went to Sam.
Thanks a lot mate - I definitely managed to get some good bargains this time! :D
Thanks for watching,

Those pounsberry wagons are lovely.
Thank you! I thought they were too! :3
Thanks for watching,

Hi
☺
I agree Tom - it is very good! Ooh sounds like some good buys mate, I hope you enjoy them! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Like the Blue Pullman good buy all you need now is some extra coaches to go with it.
Thanks a lot Michael! Absolutely - I have three already, but I'm going to keep an eye out for more! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Off to the Windsor International Toy Fair on Saturday - the event is at the Windsor Leisure Centre (if you don't know this).
Ooh very awesome mate - good luck, hope you get some decent bargains! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Simply wonderful new goodies. Especially the old Blue Pullman train.
Thanks a lot Norbert - I was really happy with the Blue Pullman too! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Sam, have you seen the new Limited Edition Mallard? It's to celebrate the 80th anniversary from when it broke the speed record!
It is VERY expensive because it has 18 carat GOLD wheels and metal pieces, it also has facts about Mallard on the box and it even includes a plaque!
Any chance you will be getting it? Better save up!
haha yeah I've seen it... but it's not something I'd ever buy... the gold wheels are awesome, but they're ruined if you run them! I'll look forward to seeing other people get them though! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
I'v seen that too. It comes with a record plaque, and a very nice presentation box! :-) I got the 70th anniversary Mallard 10 years ago now, and I'm still over the moon with it. :-)
And there's no way I would run it because of the gold. But then I didn't by it to run it, as I have 2 other mallards to use, so I'm fine with that. :-)
Makes a gorgeous static display though! :-D
There are some great bargains to be had at train fairs, usually in the rummage boxes plus I have a list of wagons and coaches to get although many of my wagons are kit built these days. There's a train fair here in Rugby every so often. I just can't wait for this lockdown to end so I can save up a nit of cash and go to some. Not easy when you have a kid though lol
There definitely are - I've always had great luck there! I can't wait either :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Have an airfix and a hornby 4f due to building a mainly lms layout so wouldn't mind seeing another!
Ooh that's cool - they do turn up on Ebay quite a bit! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Looks like you had fun my friend can't wait to see them run
Ooh yeah great fun - I can't wait to show them!! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
More train fair goodies your spending a lot aren't you
A model railway show near me is next week so hopefully I can get some stuff
haha thanks David - I consider this a business trip....well that's my excuse anyway, lol! ;D
Awesome- have fun mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)

The plain red box van is from the 1996 train set Industrial Freight R841.
Ahh okay - many thanks for letting me know! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Really nice stuff there! I have the exact same LNER D16 in black but I think I may have got an even better bargain than you - I won a £150 voucher from Hornby in their advent calendar a few years ago so I got the D16 when it came out brand new for free!!
Thanks Lukas - ooh that's awesome, that doesn't happen to many people, hehe!! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
7:17 class 35 aka Hymek you were spot on there, I have a BR green version of it
Thanks for letting me know mate - I thought it was! Yeah I have that green one too - really lovely that one! :3
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
6:54 Oop no that's my lunch:)
haha - no idea how that got up there actually lol! ;D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Yeah things do get in places there not supposed to be great loot though. And thanks for uploading!
That made me laugh to :)
dirt means 2 things, either years of sitting around in a shed/garage/storage place/loft, or years of being smoked on as in thick layer of nickoteen which is a smell i like (yes 'm odd)
Yeah absolutely - if they smell badly of smoke I don't buy them, but if it's just grime, I'm happy to clean them up!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Good Evening Sam my friend, good to see you got more stuff from the train fair.
Very interesting wagons you got and not forgetting the locomotives, I like the Hornby Black D16, Bachmann Collett Goods Engine and the Bachmann Midland 4F.
That's the Bachmann Midland 4F No.43924 with the Fowler Tender 9:26.
I too have the Bachmann Midland 4F No.43924 in my collection.
No.43924 you might know, became the 1st steam locomotive to be rescued from Barry Scrapyard in South Wales in 1968 by the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, where she still runs today.
You should visit the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway one day so you can see 43924, I haven't went there myself yet, but I'm planning to go there this year.
You should definitely review the Bachmann Midland 4F soon, after you service her and not forgetting the Bachmann Collett Goods and the Hornby LNER Black D16 in separate videos.
Fantastic video of your goodies from the Train Fair. 😉
Hi Jordan, thanks a lot mate - glad you liked the haul! Ooh I didn't know that actually - thanks a lot for the cool info!
I will do my best to review all of these at some point! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Yes!
Yess!! :D
Well, I just got here from work so I think you had a more fun day than myself.
Nostalgia tho. For as long as I can remember I have had one of those Pounsbery wagons, and the red van I always thought it was a little bright but I have had it since the mid-90s. does feel very light with the plastic wheels mine has. and I have No idea where I even got them from.
Nice haul I look forward to some of those reviews.
Awhh sorry about that - good way to get more train pennies though? :D
Glad it was nostalgic for you though - I feel the same about my first few locos and wagons! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Haha I'm just doing this now! Great video as always Sam! By the way, I didn't find any British locos at the train fair. :( Cheers mate, Tyson'sTrains
Very cool! Thanks a lot - glad you liked it! Awhhh oh well - there's always next time! ;D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
I have the Bachmann 4f it's such a good runner you should defiantly review it!!
That's good to hear - yeah mines a really lovely runner too! I'll definitely review her some time! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Sam can you do a servicing video on the Hymak?
Okay James - I'll see if I can do that some time! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Bargains! You can always find a nugget of gold at train fairs, you can never leave empty handed. Nice to see another big haul of goods, Lewis
Absolutely - that's why I love visiting them so much! Glad you liked it all mate,
Cheers,
Sam :)
I bought a 'bargin' class 20 from rails of Sheffield I thought that maybe you should do a review on it.
Yeah I saw those too - I was nearly very tempted to buy one! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Those wagons (the green ones at the start) Would work good with the Pere Marquette with the white line along the wheels
Ooh yeah they would actually - that's a very good point! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I don’t think we have train shows in Tennessee where I live? But I do find some great deals online :P
Sorry to hear that mate - glad you get some good online bargains - that's still a very good way to go! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Lner and br locos were lined if paassenger locos and all black if freight locos apart from the class V2 that I know of
Yeah I think you might be right - though I do have some LNER freighters which were unlined - so maybe it was just passenger ones that had it??
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Yes Sam that is a BR blue triang hymek diesel locomotive and yes you have made me very happy thank you! Sam!. Steam loco for £17 ?? Yesss wishful thinking, if only they were that price Sam. Poundsbery wagons you bought five of, I thought you had some in black or am I confusing them with the ocean wagons that you have a huge rake of?
Thanks Matthew - thought it was! haha absolutely - I'd buy a tonne of them if they were £17, lol!
Yes you're right - the Ocean wagons are probably the same model, just in a different colour! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
A good haul Sam. Prices certainly appear cheaper than my local train fare in Falkirk .
Thanks a lot Russell! There's definitely a fair share of expensive stuff there - but I only go looking for the serious bargains, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Would that be from Grahamston or the High station?
Hi Sam, great Pullman you got your self at the train fair and some very colourful wagons. I love these train fairs, always bring too much back with me. We used to have quite regular large train / toy fairs at NRM Shildon until late last year. Sadly NRM Shildon seems to be under a new management strategy. They cancelled most of the fairs late last year and over the Christmas and New Year period! The next one is not until June! Very sad.

Hey Sam where abouts are train fairs near you
Hi mate! There are all sorts of ones - the best thing to do is google it, and you should find out where the ones near you are!! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
hi Sam. I've got that red box van (4.04 on your video) and its a lovely little van. Also had the McCain's van for a very long time until an accident with a set of points and an express (ouch) lol
Hi Neil - ooh that sounds good - you're right they are lovely vans! Ooh ouch - did it survive?!?! D:
Thanks for watching,

Sam'sTrains hi Sam. No sadly the McCains wagon didn't survive much. One of the wheel supports was broken off so now the wagon body awaits a new base, which will need to be glued on because one of the clips also got broken.
ah well. One day I'll get there :)
Great haul there Sam. What are plastic wheels like to use? Are the metal wheels better or not much difference?
Thanks a lot! Yeah plastic wheels are fine - you just find that they cause a touch more drag!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Hi Sam! Have you been at NRM York? Have you been in the model railway shops? And do they have like Hornby steam locomotives, PECO Rail Cleaner PL-41, and some Hornby Skaledale stuff?
Hi Kamil, yes I've been to York - there aren't many shops, but yes I believe you should be able to pick up basic supplies like that from York!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Now I wonder. How many freight wagons do you have in your entire collection(plus the ones from today)?
Hi Allen, that's a very good question - I dread to think actually - it must be about 500 in total now, including all the american ones etc!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
You should review diesel 10
I should! If anyone makes one, I'll definitely order one! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
When are you going to review the collett Goods engine Sam?
Hopefully I'll get around to it soon Adam - looking forward to that one! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
You’ve gotta start a merch store and instead of shirts you’ve got socks and slippers cuz that’s mostly what we see of you
It’d be a perfect meme for your channel
haha that's true actually - I do love a good meme, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Where is this fair you went to because by the looks of it there is some good stuff there.
This was one in derbyshire - but they're all good, if you can find them! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Just wanted to ask
How well do triang locos work on the new Hornby ac controller (the they supply in modern train sets)
I think they work fine - but it's less strain on the motor to use a non-pulsed controller I think! :3
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Great video. Where was the fair?
Thanks a lot! It was one near Derby! :D

Great buys and beautiful rolling stock and locomotives, I wish hornby was sold in my area. But great video Sam see you next time
Thanks very much Edmund - really glad you liked it all! Awhh can you not get this stuff shipped to you then?? :(
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Awesome I just went to a train fair yesterday and I did some hunting around to try and get multiple wagons of the same type and I even did a bit of bartering and saved about 15 pounds on some stuff I also got a mint condition metal wheeled lner brakevan for only 2 pounds!! Great job
That's great to hear mate - wow £15 is not to be sniffed at - good work! :D
Blimey - I'm jealous - £2 for any wagon, let alone mint with metal wheels, is brilliant! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
That wagons are awesome.
Thank you! I was so happy with them too! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
You can never have enough wagons and the blue Pullman looks interesting. Oh, just one more thing, my friend would like to know what grade you are on the piano, if you don't mind telling.
haha absolutely - I just love finding new ones that I've never seen before! I did take some piano grades when I was younger, but I play by ear these days - I don't use music at all! I reckon I got to about grade 4 - still got the certificates somewhere lol! ;D

Can you do a video on the wickham trolley car?
That'd be awesome - I'd love to try one some day! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Was it Newton abbot race course? My son said he thought he saw you lol. We had a a good haul ourselves
haha no it was one near Derbyshire - but I'd love to visit that one one day though! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
wow sam! glad you found the D16 when i saw the D16 it was love at first sight1
i found a good bargin on ebay for a mercant navy with tts sound. on the hornby website it was 300 dollars
but on ebay it was only 150. by the way like you my favorite english locos are the bulled pacifics
Thanks mate - yeah me too, just lovely things! That's a very good price - well spotted on that mate! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
by the way the mercant navy i have has a really nice moter and tts decoder
Some great bargains there Sam.The Blue Pullman looks very neat.Will be interesting to hear how loud it is..Mine and others i have seen seem to scream when running.Am surprised how cheap you can pick up wagons.I have never once been to a train fair.We have one i believe that visits here..Rugby warwickshire....Think its Barry Potter toy and train fairs...But i have never attended.My problem,i have my hand into too many hobbies..Ie G scale garden trains..Triang OO..Mamod and Wilesco traction engines..to name but 3..But i am Master of none..If that`s the right term.Really got to decide where to thin out and increase...Getting so frustrated as i am still waiting on getting a shed area completed,in order for a new shed...for the oo Gauge stuff.Prepared most of the area myself..but need a landscaper to remove a deeply rooted plant in the way.As yet,he has not been able to come..Meanwhile the triang railway is all packed away....NOT A GOOD SCENARIO IN THIS HOBBY Lol...Garden rail wise.Well,its too bloomin cold !! Sorry..Big comment....more like an e mail....enjoy your new purchases...Adrian
Thanks a lot Adrian - mines actually not too loud, but because I stripped it down and thoroughly serviced it! Absolutely - these fairs are the best place to pick up wagons - unbelievably cheap sometimes!
haha yeah that's the problem - not enough time in the day to do all you want to! Good luck with the shed though, hope you can get something sorted out! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Nice finds! Was this the guildford show?
Thanks mate! It was up near Derby actually! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hi Sam! May I ask, if in The Train Fairs do they also sell wooden trains like BRIO? Because I want to sell my wooden trains to spent my money on model railways.
Hi Kamil - I'm sure some of them do sell Brio - but I can't remember ever seeing any actually! :3
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
i love the blue pullmann
Thanks a lot - I've always loved those too! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
why can I here music/noise in the background at the start ?
I guess that'd be the background music I put on, lol ;D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Love that Blue Pullman Sam!
Thanks Fred - I really love that blue version too!! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
@@SamsTrains at the last train fair I was at, I saw a blue Pullman but it cost to much so I didn't get it. :(
I went to a different train fair last year and I paid £5 for the ellis and everard wagon!!
Ooh nice - that's still a very good price! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Great video mate!! Some great rolling stock and locos by the look of things, can't wait to see the collet goods up for a review, all the best mate --- Ben
Thanks very much Ben - I'm really looking forward to reviewing the Collett too at some point!! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
So is this how you get some of your stuff aside eBay?
Yeah! I get quite a bit at fairs these days :3
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Sam'sTrains Fun, wish more shows and fairs in the states carried British Rail stock but the closest we get if any is Thomas stock
I spend just as much on coaches and wagons as I do locos! In the past at fairs I have got super detailed Bachmann and hornby coaches for 20 to 30 pounds!
Although at nearly £60 the new Bachmann birdcage coaches are to over priced for me
Ooh awesome - that's probably a good idea -- £20 - £30 for the super detailed ones is absolutely fantastic!! :D
I agree - I can't afford those at that price, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Do a running set ion on cornet ion
Ooh okay - I'll have to look into that, thanks for the idea!
Cheers,
Sam :)
where do you go for the train fair
All over the place - there's a site you can google that tells you where they are! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam
What is the train fair called or what is the location of the train fair?
Hi! I'm not absolutely sure of the name actually, but it was near Derby - I filmed this back in December! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Fun fact I actually know what that red box wagon is from it’s from the permanent way starter set it was my first set i got for my birthday 13 years ago
Ahh really? I didn’t know it was from that set, I’ll look that one up!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You did well with the whole lot Sam but £18 for the Pullmans was a bargain, thats the kind of money i would want to pay but never seen them yet for that money.
Thanks so much mate - I couldn't believe that price - I'd been looking for the blue version for ages, but wasn't willing to pay much!
Thanks for watching mate,
Sam :)
Those are some good finds! Especially the blue Pullman, and some of the wagons too. :-)
Thanks a lot Sammy, really glad you liked them! :3
Cheers,
Sam :)
Thanks a lot Sammy - really glad you liked them! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
The Bachmann 4F is superb
I agree! I've just been filming my review of it! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I don't know if you've got any other Midland locomotives from Bachmann but they are all superb.
Love that D16 bargain!
Thanks a lot! Yeah she's a great loco for the price :3
All the best,
Sam :)
I wanna know what you had for lunch Sam? Good bargains btw....
haha probably some kind of sandwich, lol! Glad you liked them,
Cheers,
Sam :)

If I ever get any narrowgauge track, then yeah I will do! :D
Cheers,

Sam'sTrains Where do you go to get this stuff? (Im going to stafford model railway show if they are available at places like that)

Cheers,
Sam :)

OOh some nice ones! I am gonna start saving up money for Model Rail Scotland
I'm excited to go as its by train which will be enjoyable!
Also I saw a Class 800 in GWR at my level crossing - Rare for me, makes me want the model a little bit (Its VERY expensive however)
Cheers mate!
Ed.

That sounds awesome though - I've certainly never seen one in real life!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Nice purchase
Thank you! :D
You've got more!?!? Nice haul, well done! :)
Yes!! Thanks a lot mate - I'm super happy with this lot! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
damage just adds to them, it means they were used plus you go to a railway place and show me an un-damaged wagon, or one in quite a state,
Yeah I guess so - it just means a little more work, but it's worth it for the discount!! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Very good day out for you Sam.
Thanks David - I really did enjoy myself this time! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)

Collett Goods 0-6-0? Kind of my style, she is a GWR engine. I don't own one myself, but I just can't wait to see yours.
Everybody look left, everybody look right;
Everywhere you look he's standing in the spotlight.
Let every engine go for broke and sing,
Let's see her in the flesh and on the wing;
It's gonna be King Sammy's finest fling.
Oh I just can't wait to see her spring.
That's fair enough Kelly - she won't be for everyone!! haha fantastic poetry as always! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great finds mate
Thanks very much Ryno! :D
Your welcome Sam! :D
I am going to my first train fair on Feb the 10th

Ooh very nice - have fun there mate! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
