Come on then, what did you spend your money on at the N Gauge Show today?

Or are you scared the misses will see?? 

Since I already have more trains than my fiddle yard can cope with it was just a few scenic bits for me:-

Three Wiking VWs - T25 van, Passat, and Golf


Two rather nice Herpa Opel Asconas


And on a visit to Richard (N'Tastic Shop) . . .

Station signs


Etched security fencing that is just superb



Even Mrs Sprintex found something to buy, an Airfix-type kit of the brand new Boeing 747-8 . . .


I've already convinced her we can put working navigation and landing lights in it as she builds it, so long as I don't have to build an N gauge airport for it!!

Its the sound chip that'll be the tricky bit - especially getting the volume needed

Don't give her ideas!! 


Paul

Looks like you both had a great shopping spree Paul, like you I don't think I need to many more locos and need to knock the habit of buying them on the head, its addictive like smoking 

I came home with a Farish Class 47 in BR Green and a 6p Jubilee 'Bahamas' which both came from the Farish stand. I also bought myself a rake of MK1 coaches.

No pics at the moment, I'll get some later.

I managed to escape after buying a Grafar Class 20 and a Amtrak Phase III 2 car set. I have had the the Kato F40PH Phase III for ages, now it has summat to pull

I've managed to not go, not buy anything and not buy anything by mail order either, although I may give in on the 20 eventually. I shall look righteous and have a discussion with the wife about the price of entry level electric guitars instead

Fender or Gibson?

I bought some BR Etched arrows, sector transfers and 5 RFd 47's at a bargain price. Shame I couldn't get transfers for the renumbering

Lemme see ...

3 Dapol teaks (couldn't find the 1st class coach else there would be 4 !), together with lighting bars and a 5-pack of magnetic couplings ... 2 sets of GF loco crews (SWMBO got those ...  ) ... 2 sets of card buildings from the NGS stall (SWMBO again ) ... 3 GF buildings & 1 Hornby building for the layout (I thought GF had them on discount - boy, did I get a shock ! ) ... oh yes, the limited edition Mallard  .  That was a late decision, SWMBO had to agree it 

Spend double what I thought ... oh well, Mallard is lovely 

A Dapol Britannia - couldn't resist.... Think all the modern traction and stipey units are getting to me 

i was very good at the show...

i only got two vtg telescopic hood ferry wagons and the new 'track tidy' kit from woodland scenics/bachmann...

A Dapol Q1 with early BR crest, five weathered Farish cement wagons, N'spirations8 and bits from N Brass. The Q1 will look good on my North London layout just got to finish it! The trouble with the NLR as someone pointed out to me today, is that it is either in a cutting or on a viaduct. There are too many houses as well but I'm fascinated by the line so will soldier on.

I went with the intention of buying a Pullman Stove R and a Network Rail Snowplough, the NGS didn't have either so instead i bought:

Ixion Foxcote Manor at £55 (already got this so will re-number to 7812)
Dapol Britannia 70000 Britannia and Dapol Britannia 70038 Robin Hood at £60 each! (the brits will have their tenders swapped so 70000 has early emblem as per current livery. 70038 will be re-numbered to 70013 and from the tender swap will have late crest as per current livery)

I may have gone slightly over budget......

Right lets see:

Class 24, 46 and 108 twin + 5 x packs of Coach wheels from Bachmann scrum.
Weathered RES 47 from Lychett Manor Models.
10 x White metal MK1 Underframes + V-Hangers and Vac pumps sets from BHE for my Carflats.
Another stock box, to add to the collection, from John Cox.
12 x Ferret Scout cars from PG Models
Oh and renewed my NGS membership for 3 years, to beat the price rise 

I did go slightly over budget, but as I came back with some cash, albeit only £18, I think I may have fooled SWMBO into thinking I was under budget  So please be quiet and don't say anything otherwise I'm in deep doo-doo 

Regards

Neal.
