Wait until you go to Warley. You will spend lots of money when you see what bargains are to be had.
Go on Saturday if you want to spend money. By Saturday night the real bargains have gone.
Examples from last
year:-
Coronation "City of Edinburgh" £50
Teak Gresley coaches £22.50
Bournemouth Belle train pack £125 (not a bargain but better than the £175 they were fetching on Ebay). The dealer who had 5 of these sold out in the first hour. I went back to get one at midday and they had all gone!
Always bargains on the Bachmann stand and always crowds 4 deep and lots of pushing and shoving.
Class 50 diesels (a new release at that time) for £62.50.
I have a feeling that there will be Q1's for sale for £50 this year as an example. I have seen a dealer who will be there shifting these at another show for this sort of money. I suspect the Class 60's will be there and selling for say £65?
And I expect Bachmann Class 20's to be on offer for £35 or less.
And expect bargain "Flying Scotsman" loco's.
18000 people turned up last year and with a decent sized stall costing £1000 for the two days and manned by 5 or 6 staff dealers have to get a return for the investment.
I'll be there on the Saturday. There are plenty of cashpoints outside the entrance.
Happy modelling
