what are you hoping to buy at TINGS 2013????

[bluedepot]

everyone got their shopping lists ready?

i am looking to buy a class 31 (if ready), a class 50 (if dapol version ready), a class 37/4 (if ready) and maybe a class 122 in blue / grey. not going to buy any other locos or rolling stock, apart from any HAA wagons (peco or trix) that are going cheap as i need about another 10!!!

for my dad's future european tram layout i would like to get an arnold german duwag tram (if they have any for a decent price), some tomix track, maybe a european diesel railcar or 2 car dmu (which could connect to the trams at an interchange), and maybe some european buses or cars....

i need to write a list of scenic items i need, but not got that far yet!!!

As for purchasing something, I only hope that I've got some money to even consider doing so!

Regards, Peter.

lol i am going on wonga now to take out a large loan

most of the locos i want are not likely to be made in time for the show so i doubt i will spend that much

At this point - not a lot ...

Maybe a bargain from the GraFar stall (if such exist these days  ), probably various scenic aspects (to help with the layout creation.  And if I haven't picked them up before then, the last couple of N'Spirations to bring me up to date, probably from the NGS stall 

Not really expecting any other engines or rolling-stock, but you never know !

Hi Tim

Sadly I suspect you will be disappointed. As far as the 31 and 37/4 are concerned, no deivery dates show on the Bachmann Website yet and in the case of the first I doubt it has even got as far as a final CAD yet.

Not sure where the Dapol 50 is development wise - as an aside - it's going to feel very strange going to visit the Dapol Stand and not having a chat with (Now "Not") Dapol Dave...

Hopefully the Dapol 52 will be on sale.  I'll probably end up with blue, green and maroon Westerns.  If the new Graham Farish City of Coventry is there I'll buy that too.  I'll also have my eyes open for a new Farish 3MT tank, 08 diesel and maybe a Dapol Hall (BR colours).

Who knows what other temptations will distract me?  Last year I bought a LNER B1 from the Dapol stand because it seemed too cheap to refuse.  I'll be on the look out for Gresley teak coaches to go with it this year.  Other than that, I need some goods vans; anything that carried fruit, meat or fish.  Maybe some BGs and GUVs for parcels traffic.

More important for my layout is stuff to turn bare foam board into scenery.  Scatter and trees.  Oh and I promised a friend I'd pick up a storage box for his locos and stock.

Br coaches --> cheap
Br green dieSeLs

...lots of Electra vinyls, I hope...?

Last year I bought a LNER B1 from the Dapol stand because it seemed too cheap to refuse.  I'll be on the look out for Gresley teak coaches to go with it this year. 

I was in two minds on getting another B1; decided that as I was getting the Modelbahn Union Mallard I wouldn't bother - that & SWMBO picking up several Bachmann/GraFar buildings that were supposed to be cheap (boy, did I get a surprise  ). 

I was a little disappointed in the Dapol teaks - not with the teaks themselves, but in the limited range they'd brought    Got two different ones from them, found a third at a similar price (I think £1.50 more), but didn't find the fourth of the set (I think there's 4).  Eventually got that from my local supplier.  I did pick up the light-bars from Dapol though; they really help make the coaches  .  Need to sort out the internals & fit a few people, then they're all ready  .

I've already found a teak brake 3rd and corridor 3rd.  There was another brake with a different running number IIRC which is the one I "need" but brakes seem to be in short supply.  A composite coach and a buffet would complete the set nicely.  Probably not a prototypical formation but it should look good.  Playing with an apple green LNER loco and teak coaches takes me back to my childhood best friend's train set with Hornby's Cheshire and two teak coaches.

Incidentally, I'm sure I have seen a colour photo from the 1960s of a B1 in LNER colours, so I'm sure I can justify an apple green loco appearing in 1960s Warwickshire as being on a rail tour.

Probably another CJM...............

[silly moo]

I'm hoping that Farish and Dapol will fly in some new soon to be released locos specially for the show. It has happened in the past.

[Newportnobby]

Probably another CJM...............

Oh no
I can see a long, lingering fate awaits you, dear boy

Anyone seen that Modellbahn Union has commissioned 3 models from Dapol, all supposedly available at the show in limited numbers:-

A3 Flying Scotsman in BR Blue (ref MU10003 and limited to 200)
A4 Mallard in wartime black (ref Mu10004 and limited to 100)
Stroudley Terrier 'Stepney' in black with red lining (ref MU10005 and limited to 100)

Only if she finds out!

I like the sound of the modelbahn union stuff. I might get one as an investment then sell on eBay for silly money.

What am I hoping to buy?

The usual - cup of tea, sarnie, and a big cake  Other than that, nothing. I go to look at layouts not buy stuff
