Hi Rick & Pauline, thank you for the video, loved it, lots of wonderful things you pointed out like the old guard van lanterns, I love the very casual way you get information from different traders, who knew Rick was such a natural at interviewing people like the 507 preservation society, cheers, Pete.👍
Hi Guys, another great video. What a collectors fair, there was something for everyone there. Hope you got some nice stuff & you make a videonof them. Again a big, big huge thankyou for giving me a mention, i,m still replying to comments. Thankyou so much guys. All the best Carl.
Hi all You mentioned black and white photos I agree ,it’s hard to believe now we watched TV in black and white we got colour in 1970 British relay remember them 😊 All the best great posting as always Mark 😊😊
You should have come to Model Rail Crewe the following day, great show with loads of CZcamsrs at the meet and greet, there may be a combined ticket for both shows next year.
Hi Tim, we went to Bolton Toy Fair to pick up a loco that one of the traders had put away for us last year. I couldn't wait as it's a LTD edition Wrenn. We did bump into Jason at the fair and popped into the exhibition being set up afterwards. Glad it went well. Cheers Rick
Something else railway related, it's mad to see how much that has been published over the years. Not much model trains though, but some very interesting railway memorabilia, really like the lamps, and fully complete with the Color disks, would be a nice gadget in the train room… Anyway, don't know the exact date but Happy Birthday Rick🥳 Cheers, Danny
Hi Danny, it was nice to see so much railway memorabilia and the lamps were very nice! The amount of books published is amazing and surely there must be one on private owner wagons for you? All the best and thanks for the birthday wishes. Rick
You should see the railway signs and station signage at the headquarters of the Hoddesdon Model and Railway Club!! We have wagon plates, station signs, locomotive nameplates and all that!!
The train lamps were used in different ways on different railways. The Southern Railway had two sets of portable lamps, one for the back of the train and one for signalling in bad weather conditions when it might be difficult for a train driver to see the main signals.
Pauline, I think Rick was being a very naughty boy, Gnomes for heaven sake, train spotting! I would leave that to Seagulls😂😂😂😂. By the way, you could have brought a loco named after me, Harry! Could I ask when you see some European locos, just check to see if they have a large slider on the middle of the bottom between the wheels, only finding three rail ho locos in the uk is very difficult. Have a great week Harry
Ha ha! I have a couple of gnomes in the garden much to Pauline's horror, they just appear from nowhere, or should be the Gnomewhere. We see quite a lot of continental locos with the slider underneath. Cheers Rick
When it comes to buses, my favourites are red, classic and have either the AEC Regent 3 or Regent 6/Matador truck engine and are known as RT and Routemaster.
By the way, Hoddesdon Model and Railway Club are having an Open Day on the last Sunday in August. We’re due to have trade visits from Kent Garden Railways.
As far as buses are concerned, mine are all Southdown Buses that are of the late 30s design because my layout is the heritage version of a “Dad’s Army’ layout.
Some top quality tat in that lot sorry to say we don’t have anything NEARLY as impressive as that even the model railway shows the stockists just don’t want to do the logistics and or getting stock. Do you realise we have not. Had a container from woodland scenics or Hornby arrive on our shores. True story so we just buy from the UK and the US with some astonishing freight upto and including 6 OO scale figures what about 15grams taking up the space of mailing what 6 pen lids. $600 AUD or $300+ POUNDS now come On that just should not be. Anyway always looking sharp see you in the next one.
But still, my first love at places like this have to be the train items. I have mostly Southern Railway steam locomotives, some green BR Mk1 carriages and a selection of freight wagons.
Ive still got my blue combined edition spotters book with thousands of numbers underlined good days, The days when you could wander round depots with no problems, From Scotland to Cornwall, Take care guys And dolls! Ps take the gaffer for aday out on Crewe stn she would love it?
I have the Mainline GWR loco you looked at and it came with a gear missing ? maybe they were supplied like that from new ? someone will know ! Runs well .
Another excellent Video, interesting array of items.
Smashing event very well covered, thank you both.
Thanks Andy¹

Hi Well Chuffed. Good to meet you both at Crewe ! Best Regards Alan :o)
And you Alan. All the best Rick
I’m absolutely amazed that your wife is interested in the big car with two decks of seats!!
So am I. 😀
It’s great to see that your wife has good taste in silver and investment pieces. I would have gone for exactly the same things as she does!!

Wall to wall Hornbee? Though at 19:19 I`d like one of them there $5.00 Buses. I bought eight potatoes for that price this week.
