What did you buy at tings?

bluedepot · September 10, 2018, 04:47:54 PM

I got 2x mermaids, a type 15 signal box, collected 4x class b and 2x cargowaggon twins. I have spent a lot of money in the last month so couldn't really buy anything too expensive.

anyone get anything good? any bargains?

I had a good bargain on the Farish stand in the form of a mk. 1 buffet car for only £20.

Got 2 almost perfect boxed items from Anoraks Anonymous , a farish midland brake van £8 and a Dapol Fruit D £8, I had been tempted to get one from the Dapol cheapies for £13...
Once the scrum dies down there are still bargains to be had on their stand, last year I picked up 3 x Dapol 21Ton minerals for £10:50.

Resisted the Blue Pullman at £230 but it had gone by 12:00.... But if I had bought it, I wouldn't have been able to type this comment if Mrs "H" had found out...

Surely you could still use your finger like the rest of us?

ModelMaster's last remaining Vollmer catenary cross-spans (12 pieces) at half price (£4 each).

From Anorak's Anonymous bargain bins £37 total for: 1x poorly repainted Roco swiss electric loco (worth it for the spares but it's 100% complete and actually runs fine), 1x unused boxed Fleischmann double ended motor (they're £40-£50 now), 1x Bachmann motor from an old 4-8-4, 1x etch for a grade grossing, pair of Fleischmann brushes and springs, bag of Farish containers.

Oh and a prepaid pair of IZA Cargowaggons picked up from Revolution!

hi

anoraks anonymous is the best stand for bargains i think. it's just so busy. i didn't buy anything at their stand this year though - trying to avoid buying unplanned things.

the farish stand didn't have that much on it on sunday.

it seems like the traders are the same each year... even in the same places... maybe they should mix it up a bit???!!! lets have a few different ones each year???!!!

We did wonder how long that would last....

As a young Padawan to the Jedi Master Hitch @Mirrlees , it amazes me how effective the words "there is a discount for 3, 5 and 10" can be....I suspect the urge was always there....
