Its clear that a number of us went to the Warley Show and I do have a large number of pictures to process and publish as well as one or two other items to sort out that should be of interest.
I thought the prices on the Bachmann stand were more expensive than in previous years and even late on Sunday there was stuff that they could not give away. So I passed.
Fleischmann had a big sign up saying no photography which seemed a bit odd.
There did not seem to be the really good bargains that there had been in previous years although I did spot a Live Steam A4 going for £199 and a Bachmann Train Set going for £29. There were Hornby Class 08's going for £40 on one stand. The real bargain I thought was a Roco loco going for £40 as a clearance and lots of Roco army wagons going for less than half price. But not my sort of thing.
My star buy was a Lima Banana for £20. Saw one for sale for £70 elsewhere in the show. Picked up a very nice kit built brass streamlined Coronation for very little money. Just the sort of thing I like. Hand built craftsmanship. And a few other bits and pieces.
Happy modelling
