Another great video at a model show, guys.
Thanks very much! 😀
What a fantastic share friend
Cheers😀
Thank you for the video Rick & Pauline, another great informative video as always, cheers, Pete.👍
Thanks very much Pete
Hi guys, another great video. I really like the Co, Bo, top of my wish list.. All the best guys, keep them coming. Carl.
Cheers Carl!
Another fantastic shoe and great views of models sand the stories to go with them. Your gentleman with all the Euro stuff was very cool, although he did call a class #110 a "#121." lol Hey, now and then, I actually know something about a train... rare, but sometimes. Great show again, thanks for all the great entertainment.
Hi Anthony, it was nice to get back to Bolton and catch up with the traders, nice to pick up that loco I left there last year too! I'm sure you are very much an expert in all things euro! All the best Rick
Really enjoyable video as always. Love to see these wanders round the fairs. Will probably bump into you both one day as go to quite a few.
Thanks Chris, no doubt we will bump into each other somewhere.
Hi Rick and Pauline. Ooo I like the Wrenn's too. You have found some great stuff there. Warm Regards Alan still on tour in the van. Alan "out" X
Hi Alan, always a lover of Wrenn since I got a catalogue as a youngster. All these years later and I can finally pick some up. Enjoy the tour, all the best Rick
Yes some great Wrenn bargain there for sure@@wellchuffedrailways Regards Al :o)
Great video again, quite a difference in prices now, you've really got to shop around now. All the best.
Hi Gary, yes prices vary massively so it pays to have a good look around. Thanks for watching Rick
Haven't been to a toy fair in years - thank you for sharing!
@10.50 Always considered the Airfix coal wagons to be a nice model as the sides were a nice width and had detail along the top edge.
The Airfix wagons and they were great for the time and still look good today. Cheers Rick
lots of bargains again will try and get to one of these one day great video as always. always wanted a wrenn class 20
Hi Geoffrey, I did buy the Wrenn 20 in the video, it is a lovely runner and it will be in our next vlog. Thanks for watching Rick
Hi Rick and nice the first one is a beauty :). And ok did you do this next part for me mate lol. I just love Passenger Cars lol as you know!!!!! And wow just look at them all. Just waiting to be taken :). Lots of great Wagons too nice. Great video mate and thanks for showing cheers mate!!!!!
Thanks for watching Brad, glad you enjoyed the vid. Filming was very rushed and edited within a day as we were going on holiday. Our holiday video featuring steam trains, a vintage buse and an abbey is out on Sunday. Oh and a bonus bargain hunt tomorrow! All the best Rick
You know it sure didn't look rushed. Great video and it sure dose sound like you have some great things coming up Rick. I hope that the both of you enjoy your holiday :)!!!
Lovely SECR R1😁
It was nice but I had my accountant with me. 😀
That Is The Perfect way And Place to Spend Money.Always And Foreever.
Sure is Ellery!
Looks a great place to visit up Bolton we don't get anything like that down here in the south
Hi Shaun, yeah we have a few, I'm surprised there is nothing down your way. Thanks for watching Rick
I had that CoBo as a kid, might have been mine once!
Awesome locos and I have always wanted one since seeing my mates dad's many years ago. All the best Rick
Hi Rick its nice to see how Pauline supports you in the hobby and doesnt complain about the prices . I am lucky too as my wife supports me too in a similar way .Another great vid and we hope to bump into you one day .Perhaps the Garden Railway may be the way to go as I know Pauline doesnt like gnomes 😂
Thanks for the reply. I have a very nice rake of blue, R211 (Pauline would love them and I'm sure you know them very well!) BSC open steel wagons, which I always thought were authentic. But I've never been able to find a photo of them in action in real life, so now I'm thinking the livery may be a creation of the Hornby / Marketing departments.
Hi Garth, very true but Pauline has her own hobbies to blow cash on and I dare not comment. 😂😂 As regards Gnomes I'm fighting a losing battle. 😀
Hi Rick and Pauline great video some great locos on the stalls thank you for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching Clive
Plenty to see and plenty to have there.
Great video again.
Thanks Ed
lots good things thanks lee
Thanks Lee
The initials B.S.A. stands for Birmingham Small Arms, and they were originally gun makers, particularly during the 2 world wars, so a gunpowder van would be appropriate. Motor cycles were a later sideline, which took more importance as weapon production ceased.
Hi Richard, thankfully for the info, hopefully there will be a pub quiz question on BSA! All the best Rick
Looks like you got some great items Rick! Thank you for sharing 😊
Cheers Deano
Looks a very good show, I liked the Metro Vuckers Co-Bo
Vickers
Me too hopefully I can pick that one up pretty soon. Cheers Rick
Grsnd video 👍
Rick in Wrenn heaven😂, I know the dilemma when suddenly all your wants appear at the same time and your brain goes in a curt cut🤯, and if you don't restrain your self, £1000 will fly off the bank account in no time.😱
Good If it doesn't hurt you, but most of us don't have that privilege.
On the other hand it will take away the bargain hunt drift and waiting often results in finding a bargain and you feel good to have waited.
I think in the long end it will make you happier waiting.
That's also the problem if you buy new and the shadow side of it, where pre order has become the standard, or you're going to mis out completely, or things will be dumbed at 50% after, there is no certainty.
Hornby, over the years, has become king in limited editions, where in the end it becomes so ridiculous that the box becomes the limited edition.😂
But I'm sure we all have models, where we say I paid too much for it, or visa versa.
Seen some lovely stuff, some rarities and I'm honored to have accomplished the term "a Danny's special" for novelty wagons, I hope it will become a standart frase in the community🤣.
Anyway, these toy fairs always seem to me as the best, good prices and very often special things pop up there, my all time favorite fair videos.
Thanks again for taking us on that magical mystery tour…🌈
Cheers,
Danny
Hi Danny, the Wrenn Princess Alice was a bargain at £250, not in perfect condition as some of the lining is missing but that is reflected in the price as I have seen them for 500+. This year has found me buying much less than previous as I have become more selective in my purchasing especially with the locos. More Danny specials will be in upcoming videos. 😂😂 All the best Rick
Looks like you got some great items. 👍
Yes, thank you
Oh Ben Helm at the end
Hi Guys, BSA made Motor bikes and Guns. Another great video.
Thanks Ken
I was there on that day you went and saw you both. Was hoping to say hi but I didn’t want to distract you while filming
Say hello if you see us again. All the best Rick
Lima wagon was an electrical transformer wagon , not a nuclear wagon 🙂
That's the one! Cheers Rick
Hello Pauline and Rick! Who was a lucky boy, what a beautiful wrenn loco, limited edition as well. Did you buy the Co-Bo ? Pauline you really spoil Rick! Could I just say most of the Continental locos are very heavy, they all have metal chassis and the majority of Marklin and Trix, same company, have metal bodies. If you see any HAG locos they are always metal and for the most part bomb proof, made in Switzerland. Thanks for another great video! Harry
Hi Harry, the chap has put the co-bo on one side for next time I see him. All the best Rick
Another brilliant vdeo. Who was the guy with all the wrenn wagons, i could have easily spent a fortune on his stall.
Hi, I don't have his details as I don't think he is a trader as such, I believe he is selling off a family members collection. Thanks for watching Rick
BSA= Birmingham Small Arms, even today they make small guns in Birmingham but not linked to the motorcycle company
Thanks for the info David
@@wellchuffedrailways my pleasure
Hi both,
Is there any way to tell whether the liveries on the private owner wagons are either authentic or fictional?
Hi Stephen, I'd suggest going on a few railway forums. This is a problem that our friend Danny has mentioned. Some liveries I thought were fictitious have turned out to be real so it's a bit of a lottery! All the best Rick
@wellchuffedrailways Yeah, I've come to the same conclusion!
I have a very smart looking rake of Hornby R211 open wagons in blue British Steel Corporation (BSC) livery (Pauline would love them, and I'm sure you know the model). But I've failed to find a photo of the wagons in use in real life, so I am wondering if they were indeed a creation of Hornby's sales & marketing department...
See it, Want it, Buy it. Next time, it will be gone or the price increased. 😂😂😂😂
Exactly
