4:41 That is also a Lima (and the other goods van next to it too) Makes you wondering where the rest of the set went.
4:58 Did Rivarossi do UK stuff in their 'red box' era? They were the #1 choice to go for in US stuff before you could get everything shipped over from the US for a reasonable price.
6:41 80% chance that they used V200 bogies on that instead of proper UK ones (or the other way around)
20:12 Back in the days Lima was the only manufacturer doing vehicles from outside the usual countries.
24:46 That box does remind me of one of the regular sellers on the main Dutch show who once had crate loads of Metcalfe kits. Now these are nowhere to be found...
27:24 Thats a lot more colorful that modern roads filled with resale safe shades of metallic grey
31:42 Those are Jouef. Lima did have CIWL vehicles but they were shortened to an absurd length.
31:48 That's the middle car of a DB Class 614 DMU. These did drive in all kinds of crazy arrangements with the class 634 so that's why they were never sold as a 3 vehicle set.
34:15 Those trams look like proper DDR vintage based on the plastic shine
35:20 That is the source of the impressive idling heard in the background 10 seconds earlier. Also known by its Czech nickname 'Hektor'
48:03 Tramway locomotives were required to have covered connecting rods for safety reasons (and as an attempt not to scare horses)
49:30 That's the Fleischmann 'Anna', a common starter set locomotive. The version here is the 'economy edition' with very basic valvegear. In the same range they also had 'Betty' which is the same one but with a tender and 'Carl' which was an odd one having rack railway gears.
53:01 Vehicles that look like someone built them in a shed in their spare time are always interesting. For some reason most narrow gauge railways did end up with converted buses and trucks at some time in their history
56:53 The infamous Lima class 33 that for some reason was initially released in the UK with a HO scale body. These were also sold by the HEMA department store in the Netherlands in the 70s and 80s
Great comment full of useful information. Thanks very much Ivo.
Great show again, great layouts.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Ed
Another enjoyable video some really great moldel layouts, hope you got yourself's some great bargains thanks for sharing this .👍
Thanks for watching Robert, we did get some bargains. All the best Rick
Great video. Nice layout at beginning. Thanks for showing N Gauge. You are the only UA-camrs In can watch a video for a hour. Full of interesting knowledge. Thanks Roger.
Thanks for watching Roger, the videos do seem to be getting longer but there is so much to see and I don't like cutting the videos in half. All the best Rick
another great vid some good layouts there and some great value for money stock items
Thanks for watching Geoffrey
nice show thanks for the good vid thanks lee
Cheers Lee
Hi guys, brilliant video. I like the first layout, British Railways. That's a big layout. All the best guys. Carl.
Hi Carl, some great layouts, my favourite was the East German one with the trams. All the best Rick
Great video again lots of good price's on the stalls and some good layouts hope you got some bits👍
Hi Clive, it was a very busy show and we managed to get nice stuff. The layouts were fantastic and there were some pretty big layouts as well. Thanks for watching Rick
Great show Rick and Pauline and nice to see some HO scale stuff for sale, all the best to you both.
Hi Deano, lots of HO stuff in next week's video including layouts and a good chat with Mount Tabor Models who specialise in continental models. Thanks for watching Rick
Hi Rick and Pauline. Super cool video as ever, and such a wonderful exhibition. Some great layouts and some great bargains from the traders. Impressed by the skills of the model builder’s and their attention to detail. Did Pauline get her sweeties? Lol. Great day. Thanks for sharing. 🎉🎉
Hi Paul, it was a good show and neither of us went hungry. 😂😂
Well, such a big show and so much to see, I just can't comment on it all without writing a Magnum Opus. I did really like Derby Lane... modern, and so well done! As were all the layouts, but it came early and caught my eye. The other thing to mention was when you were looking at the model cars and mentioned the Italian cars shipped to the USA to be put together. It reminded me of a trend in the 70s here in the USA (and maybe elsewhere). There were 3 companies, Italian, German, and American, which made fiberglass-based shells designed to fit over Volkswagens frames. So, you could buy an old VW, take off the shell and buy a wild body... I remember "The Coyote"... and look like you had bought a $200,000 sports car. Your story reminded of those. Helped a guy put one on when I was an early teenager in the mid 70s. Anyhow, great video and so much to gawk at, be grateful I wasn't your ride... you might have been stuck there forever. Cheers!
Hi Anthony, my favourite was the East German one, we went to a show today and there were so many Continental layouts including French and Polish and a nice selection of HO for sale. I googled the Coyote and like many I remember it from Hardcastle and McCormick. Next time you are over here you are welcome to be our designated driver. All the best Rick
@@wellchuffedrailways I saw those. Mark would have loved the Polish one. I am not too up on the East German stuff, except what got brought over after re-unification. It was grand, for sure.
Hey Rick and Pauline, that traffic on the Mostyn road would probably be holiday traffic to the north Wales coastal resorts
, Rhyl etc. We called it the coast road it was always busy during summer months. The long passenger train more than likely be London to Holyhead.
Sounds about right Jeffrey and it looks like a bank holiday weekend. 😀
Hi Rick and Pauline I saw that the temptation to buy rolling stock was great again😄
Great show to see, saw interesting things again…
If I may give you, specially pauline a good tip, don't buy the old Humbrol enamel paints anymore, they are solvent based, have a solvent odor and are really not good for your health.
Above that they take a long time to harden out, and you need solvents to clean your material and the life time of your brush is very limited.
Of course the way you clean your brushes and other equipment, determine on how long you have them.
And as far as I know they are pulled out of production for the obvious reasons I gave above, so all you buy now is old stock.
Water based paints have evolved and are so much easier to use, dray- and overpaint time is very fast, odorless and so much better for your health.
Personally I work with Vallejo and the Andrea paint system, for final washes and effects I might use solvent diluted oil paints or the old Humbrol enamel paints as long as I still have them, but it's very rare that I use solvent based paints anymore, and washes can be easier done with water based inks.
But if I use solvent based paints it will never be in house, as solvents are really harmful an a lot of people ignore that, even for such a small old Humbrol tin.
What a lot of people don't do, is to give the item a primer (also water based), it's so much better to paint on after.
Also stirring up your paint before applying makes that your paint is smoother and will last longer.
If you want to stick to Humbrol, they now replaced the old enamel paints with drop bottels and water based paints, I haven't tried them yet, but they look to be decent and the numbering as far as I understand it is identical to the old paints.
Obvious you thin your paints whit water, but you use best demineralized water, a few drops of IPA alcohol and a drop of dish wash soap on a liter.
You can use water based paints and solvent based paints together, but you can't mix them, and a water based paint needs to be applied first an can be overpainted by a solvent based, but not the other way around.
And a last notice, depending on the brand of water based paints, it can be more glossy or Matt finish.
Of course you always can determine it in the end with a gloss or Matt varnish.
I do hope you like my tips, and keep on making these video's…
Cheers, Danny
Hi Danny, we did buy a few bits. Thanks for your great advice regarding the painting. Pauline has had a read and thanks you for all you help. All the best Rick.
Another great show Rick. Mostyn layout is quite something. Oh if only space wasn't an issue! Some good bargains too. Thanks for sharing, Steve.
Hi Steve, yes Mostyn really does make one wish for more space or switching to N gauge. 😂😂
one of your best shows indeed. Love the moving chickens at 14.10 and that super detailed n scale layout at 24.10. Lots of good stuff . Thanks !
Cheers Henrik it was a very good show.
Great show. Looked like some good prices on some stuff,though the old locos at 97 quid had me looking for my jaw on the floor somewhere
I think that particular loco is quite rare? It did look as good as new though! All the best Rick
Finally got round to watch this video and it was a Brilliant video. There was some great model layouts on display and some good items on display. Nice to meet you again Rick and Pauline. Also nice that person's £8 barging of a Mainline BR Mk1 Coach in Southern 😂
Thanks Simon, I'm sure we will bump into you again in the future. Are you going to the Rail Riders show in Crewe? All the best Rick
At 31.00 you pick up a coach and exclaim "What is that?"
It's a Hornby Royal Mail coach. There are two levers on the underside. When it goes over a ramp on the track, a door will open on one side of the coach. It would pick up a mail bag from a hook at the side of the track. When the lever on the other side hits another ramp a door on the opposite side opens and throws out the mail bag into a bin at the side of the track.
I've still got one in the Attic.
Thanks very much for the info. All the best Rick
Great video I’m hoping you picked up some diesels what a variety 👍
Hi Mark, just the one! Cheers Rick
Hi Rick great video I saw more of the layouts on your video as when we went it was that busy you couldn't get to the layouts or trade stands.
What day and time did you go
Regards Paris & Paul
Hi Paris and Paul, we went on Sunday (always quieter) arriving around 11:30 and leaving around 16:00. The last few hours are the easiest to film but we started filming as soon as we arrived and as you can see it was very busy. All the best Rick
Brilliant Rick & Pauline. You had your hands on a Class 42 and didn't buy it?😢
Hi Steve, that was unfortunate but wait until you see what we did buy. Unfortunately it was off camera but it's in our next vlog. Cheers Rick
Hi Rick did you know the name off the trader that had the Lima silver railways of Australia coaches. Kind Regards Ken
Hi Ken, think it's SMTF models.
Noticed Carrowbeg on the video, it is built and run by a friend of mine called Ian Mulroy. He used to be a member of Blackpool model railway society but had problems trying to integrate them into the 20th century, so he moved on.
Hi Frank, it's a nice layout and Ian has done a great job. All the best Rick
If that’s the mostyn I use to read about that’s a really fine layout superb track work and attention to detail ,the exhibition looked great ,what did you buy?😂
All the best
Mark 😊😊
Hi Mark, I bought two locos one of which was caught in the video. The camera was off when I got the other. That's all I can reveal at the moment until our next vlog. 😀 Mostyn has been around for some time so that must have been the one you heard about. It was a good show and very busy. All the best Rick.
@@wellchuffedrailwaysnice one Rick 😊
