Great additions David. Wonderful story about your cousin. All the engines and rolling look good on your layout. You can never have too much rolling stock. Have a great week!!
Hi Dave. Stephen had an impish smile from youth until his passing. I hope he is smiling knowing those wagons still carry the same family connection. I'm pleased with my haul and it appears my viewers would like to see me get more. lol. Cheers, David.
Good morning, Great video David I loved the long train at the end. You got some great items during your trip. The box containing the station canopies was definitely a great find. It was great to meet up with you again at the show, Thanks again for pointing out that box of spares. Im not sure I would have come across that myself, Very useful collection a bit and pieces. All the best. Oscar
Hello Oscar. I'm glad you liked the video, I wondered if anyone would watch such a long one from me. I did do well as usual. I think I shall be building one of the low profile buildings first from the kits I brought home, I have found a useful location for it. It was great to see you both again and to meet Dave. I wish I had been feeling a little better though. Had you been an early bird that day there was another box of useful looking parts as well. Glad you can find a good use for some of the parts. Regards, David.
Hi David, that's a very impressive haul from your trip to the OK, thank you for sharing it with us. I'm impressed that you managed to get it all back to Canada! Cheers, Steve
Hi Steve, Our trip to Anoraks came early in the trip and I wondered how I would manage to pack it all after that outing. As it turned out I had plenty of room and I was 4Kg underweight! David.
Hi Rick, yes, I'm pleased with my finds. I think the background buildings will be great if I can find some wall space to put them. They might end up as background to the pulp mill.
Great Haul from your time over here, even thining the north american stock out and taking it back, Lol. When is enough, enough, got to watch those freelance lumber jacks.
Hi Clive, Yes, it was a good haul. I've been repatriating North American stock from the UK for at least 30 years! lol. The falling trees were quite a surprise, they have been sitting there for years. Who knows what I'll find next, a trip to the hobby shop is in order I think. Cheers, David.
WOW David .That`s one hell of a collection of stuff . That will keep you busy for the winter . Plus it was great to meet you again all being a very short time . I had a very busy weekend meeting loads of people but a great time was had by all. Regards Lord Al.
Hi Al, I always seem to have fun shopping at exhibitions and hobby shops in the UK, This was an especially good trip. I had hoped to find a day to visit Dragon Jct. but it didn't work out, I never made it into that part of the country this time. GETS was amazing if only for the meetings we had. Cheers Al, take care. David.
Hi David. Great haul there buddy. Like the containers look spot on with the numbers. Triang models were made to last, don't know if you can say the same about the new stuff. Layout looking good David. Hope to see you at GETS next year ay. You mentioning Calgary brings back memories of when I was there when I was 13. Thanks for sharing buddy. Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete and Su.....
Hi Pete. Tri-ang was my foundation in model railways, I still like it. My layout room is 16X22 feet. I don't think I shall be at GETS next year, I prefer the longer and warmer days of summer. I do like Calgary except for the winter climate. All the best, David.
wow you really got a treasure trove of stuff all very nice!! Have fun with it all!! Thanks for the show and tell I really enjoyed it! Good to see the trains run very nice runs atleast the one train made it halfway without derailing lol and I really love the layout the scenes are so nice and oops the trees fell on the last train lol and you can never have to many trains or rolling stock lol i say keep collecting!! You might as well enjoy to the fullest and have fun!!! Enjoy the rest of the week and see you in the next one!!
Hi Nancy, It really was a good trip shopping wise. The layout seems to be working fine and I keep trying new camera angles. I have some ideas for winter work this year so we may see some more development happening. That's one vote for more shopping but space to put it all is becoming a problem. lol. Take care and stay warm. David.
amazing haul David! I really like those Barkby Jolliffe wagons. I recon you got enough books and kits and projects to keep yourself busy for a lifetime...or two :D sweet MLW 420. Enjoyed the running! Nice video and take care my friend :)
Hi John, the Barkby Jolliffe wagons as mentioned have some personal meaning for me, treasures. You are right about the size of my collection, I really do have enough but....... I like the MLW 420's, I may add a third one at Christmas. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, David.
Holy Moses David my friend I'm surprised you didn't have topay for excess baggage!! What a great haul you got, those canopies were a great deal two and a half feet long. The class 31 ran well too. I hope you can sort the de railing coaches out, it must be really annoying, I don't believe there's such a thing as having enough stuff!!
Hi Digger, it does look like an impressive haul doesn't it? I was actually 4 Kg underweight, just imagine what else I could have got. What a deal I got on those canopies, I think it was the bargain of the trip. I'm sure I will find a solution to the derailing problem. Getting the right wheel sets on them will probably do it but I don't have enough of them yet. You can hardly go wrong with a Lima loco. I'm right pleased with both the 33 and the 31. Your vote is the third to keep on buying, my local hobby shop will be pleased. Cheers Digger, David.
David, you really hit the jackpot. Wow, tons of loot. I love your Budd car. Nice well cars. Your layout must be massive. I wanted to go over this fall, but my mate, Graham, was in a bad spot and had no interest in a show this year. Maybe next year. Never enough. 😉 Rob
Hi Rob, I think I did well. The Budd was a dream, I paid a good (high) price for it but it fits in perfectly with my layout and operations. The well cars now give me enough for a "domestic" train, that is all 53' containers. I think that you probably have more running distance on your layout than I do. I was, as usual, within 7 miles of Graham. I had wondered if I might see him at GETS. I'm sorry to hear that he is indisposed. Hopefully he will be well for Christmas. David.
What a fantastic collection David. It must be so nice to meet up with the Creators that we all follow. It sounds like you had a great time meeting people and shopping. 👍 Do we ever haver "Enough Stuff"?? Happy modelling
Hi Mon, I think I did OK on this trip, there's always more though. lol. For me one of the greatest things about UA-cam has been the people I have met and the layouts I have visited. I'm amazed that I can show up some where and a voice calls out "Hey, David's here." It blows me away, it does become a family. Take care, and yes, Happy Modelling.
Dear David, I start from the end of the video and I'm sure you'd like to come back to England soon to buy. Nice 3D printed tank for the 2-ended locomotive that I had never noticed. Which locomotive is it? The Airfix box did not disappoint you and as you could see when you opened it there were more pieces in the bed than necessary. I'm happy for you my friend. I will help you have a good week and a lot of fun. Alberto 🚂🚂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hello Alberto. Thank you for your comments again today. Yes, I expect that I shall be back to buy more but next time will be in warmer weather and longer days. I was very pleased to find the fuel tank for my Tri-ang 2-ended loco. So many of those have gone missing. The loco is from the 1960's and was in the Tri-ang Transcontinental series. I think it was based on a Australian loco. Yes, the Airfix box was a great bargain I am most pleased with that. You take care and have a good week too. Now I have your video to watch. Cheers, David.
Nice fuel tank,the springs look great ,great looking haul,any trouble getting threw customs? How big of a bag did you have to bring all your stuff home? Great video David hope you have a great day.
Hi Ray. It's hard to find one of those double ended Tri-ang diesels with the original fuel tank so when I saw the 3D printed one I just had to get it. My loco, although well play worn, at least looks complete now. There is no duty payable on scale models entering Canada, so no problem there. Just a regular medium sized suitcase and a backpack. I am good at consolidating items. For instance, I removed the parts from the sprues on the two Walthers buildings and put them both in one box and then put other stuff in the other box. It's -6 here today and although I know that's not too bad, I still feel cold. Cheers, David.
Hi David, that is quite an impressive haul. I really enjoy seeing what people add to their collections. Those Mk IV coaches look terrific, but those extra coaches on the Euro Star make it look so much better. Sometimes when my coaches keep derailing, I remove one of the hooks. It allows a bit more free movement for the bogeys. Give it a go, it might work. I hope to go to England one day, just to go to the train shows. Steven.
Hi Steven, I like seeing what people get too. I love the look of a full size Mk4 set but the wheel sets on the coaches I got i Calgary have been changed and they are the ones that derail. Two of them have Kadee couplers and they derail too. It'll be a project on a day when I feel like doing it. The Euro Star struggled on one of my inclines so I probably won't be looking for any more coaches for that set, it looks fine now. You could be right about the coupler hooks. I hope you do make it to the UK sometime, there seems to be several shows to choose from every weekend. I hope to make it to Australia one winter, today would be good, it's -6c right now. Cheers, David.
Great video David, and a lovely collection from your holiday.
Hi Bob, Thank you, glad you liked the video and enjoyed seeing what I got. Cheers, David.
great haul of things thanks for share on channel thanks lee
Thank you Lee. It was fun finding this stuff.
Great video and a great haul David. You can never stop buying!
Thank you Michael, I'm happy. lol.

Timber!. I'm suprised how much you packed in!
The tree felling was a first. I had plenty of empty space in my case and about 4Kg underweight, I could easily have added MORE STUFF! lol.
Hi David, that's a very impressive haul from your trip to the OK, thank you for sharing it with us. I'm impressed that you managed to get it all back to Canada! Cheers, Steve

Well done David! 👍
David you brought home some cool stuff from the UK
Hi James, yes, I think I did OK in the UK. lol.
Great haul Dave. Really like the Walthers background wall buildings.They will work well into your layout.
Hi Rick, yes, I'm pleased with my finds. I think the background buildings will be great if I can find some wall space to put them. They might end up as background to the pulp mill.

Never enough stuff !! Let’s keep on collecting! (Just don’t tell my missus!)
Ha Ha, too true. Thanks.
WOW David .That`s one hell of a collection of stuff . That will keep you busy for the winter . Plus it was great to meet you again all being a very short time . I had a very busy weekend meeting loads of people but a great time was had by all.

That's a great haul you got that David the Tri-ang book is a great read.all the best Phil.
Hi Phil, I think I did do well and that book is next on my reading list. Cheers, David.
Hi David.

Hi Fred, yes, I'm sure we'll both turn up at the same place at the same time again. Shows and shopping were great as usual. Cheers, David.

Great video
Thank you.
I went to the new model railway exhibition at the NEC at Birmingham international
Hi Scott, how was the exhibition? I heard it was much smaller than the Warley shows but Sam (Sam's Trains) thought it was better.

It was -20this morning,took forever to warm up my bus.
Brrrrrr.
Amazing haul of all kinds of interesting items 👍🏻
Thank you, I had a plan although I didn't know what I would find.
You can always use more trains.
My hobby shop will be pleased with your comment. lol.
Good morning
It is a good morning but a bit cold. lol.
Nice fuel tank,the springs look great ,great looking haul,any trouble getting threw customs? How big of a bag did you have to bring all your stuff home? Great video David hope you have a great day.
