Hi there and you know this is just Fascinating to see wow!!!! You know Rick I get in to see it all that I do fail to comminate 😁 Nice looking old toys and it looks like some Corgi as well. The Corgi that you did point out I do have lol😊. $$ WOW a good price mate wow!!!! Ok I do love all of the Trains. ... But the cars and toy are so cool. + they are from the UK. 😆.I love that you all have great Trains and Diecast too. Well, what a fun good day!!!! And thank you both for the day out and no Jet Lag too lol cheers mate!!!
Wonderful day and good bargains. I would have been very happy 😂 with a few of them. Liked some of those cars and definitely a few wagons. I think the locomotives would have been the hardest to decide on. Fantastic place to go to. Maybe next time. 🎉
Hi Paul, always lots of choice but the best thing is to have some idea of what you want and a budget. Of course that all goes out of the window when you get there. 😂😂 Cheers Rick
I got that Thomas 37 it just says green diesel in the box I think I was meant to be the class 40 based engine still they are worth some money now ,good job my son looked after his Thomas models 😊,do you ever get problems filming at these shows ie don’t film me types etc 😮,should of got Bobby a cuddly toy to play with if I find one I’ll send you a postman Pat he can rip it to pieces 😂,that 33 is a nice model ,I did think you was going to get that set with the princess class ,hope you are all well regards to Pauline and a big woof and meow to Bobby and Lola 🐕🐈 Cheers Mark
Hi Mark, I had no idea that 37 was worth anything but it does make sense. Problems filming, we have had on a couple off occasions but not recently. I think we are part of the furniture at these events now. We get good feedback from traders and even some of the event organisers so I guess we are good publicity for them. We rarely film people anyway so that helps. The Princess set was nice but I have the loco although mine has the old style wheels on it. Save the postman pat it might be worth something! All the best Rick, P, Bob & Lola.
Hi great video, 24.26 was a class 31 in RTC livery, one of my favourite liveries, also the Pullman observation coach was very nice, very rare and pricey, thanks for sharing.
@@wellchuffedrailways You are correct, not sure if I’ve ever seen one for sale to be fair, eye watering prices that they carry, so surprised Hornby haven’t re-released them again, would be a good money spinner, if Bachmann produced them you would have to sell a kidney to get the money to buy one, their prices are horrendous now.
Hi Rick & Pauline, the LMS coronation set was a nice bargain, love the stream liners, I got the blue, maroon and black version in my collection, love them… Recently bought the blue wagons to go with it, still looking for the red coaches, not so common to find as the blue onces. Hornby made new tooled versions of them, super detailed but also super priced, all the new stuff has become very expensive lately a bit of shame where it's going to, but in one way its our own fault as we are demanding for more and more detail. Recently bought the Heljan NER n° 1 electric from the national collection in miniature, although super detailed you start question your self how to pick it up without damaging it, with all that fine detailing. Why did you buy the HO version, while you can have that livery in OO? Anyway nice video, loved it as ever… Cheers, Danny
Hi Danny, streamliners are stunners and I must get one someday. I prefer the blue one though. HO 33 bit of a novelty I guess and I do remember seeing a few in the 70s. Some of the newer models are so fragile it's scary! All the best Rick
I can confirm the Pullman Observation car is indeed operational on the Swanage Railway, it had spent a short period of time at the proposed LSL museum at Margate on the former Hornby site but had now returned to Swanage - the actual coach used on the ill fated Flying Scotsman tour of America several decades ago - great video - keep them coming - but an HO 33 Ric? Really??? Lol 😂enjoy it
The whiskey wagon you showed was a real bargain! Old Hornby ones are going for £15 to £20 and that one looked like a Bachmann, which are always more expensive than anything. Mind you E-Bay prices for model railway stuff have shot up in the past 6 months, which even factoring transport costs still makes it more expensive than fairs and exhibitions. Those five pound coaches have starting prices of £10 plus on E-Bay. With postage on top!
Hi Graham, it really does pay to have a look around and Elsecar Toy Fair is very cheap to attend (£1.50 after 7) so if you buy several items it is still a decent saving on eBay. All the best Rick
Sure that Thomas loco was a Class 40 Diesel, only used in one episode I think when a Bowlers hat got stuck in the vent, 24:33 that Pacer or Skipper is one that were used on the Western Region when introduced and that the Pacer that I would love to have. Great video and some interesting prices as well. Never been to a Toy Fair but does have my interest to go to one.
@@wellchuffedrailways Heard about the Stafford Toy Fair and just looking at the dates, can't do the 18th June as I got plans that day but may do 13th August
Great video again - was good to meet you both in the car park as you arrived - there were quite a few bargains to be had - with hindsight (great thing that 🙂) I wish I'd bought that Heljan 33 for £75 you looked at - to start off my blue BR collection - anyway, there's always next time
Hey, Pauline and Rick! Another grand show. I see so many things I want to ask about, but I would write pages here. I did see early on a Subbeteo!!! I had that as a kid. Bought it at a local shop and I think I was the only person who had it in my city. I have now seen a couple Palitoy trains, and I wonder if any and who owns their molds now. I knew Palitoy as the UK version for GiJoe figures (Action Man) and the Star Wars line from Kenner. I also would not have passed by that Scalextric set by. lol Great stuff all around! Cheers!
Hi Anthony, Palitoy never owned the moulds the (Made in Honk Kong by Kader amongst others) hence a lot of the models were adapted by Bachmann when they entered the UK OO market. Subbuteo was very popular here all those years ago and we do see it from time to time. I did have a Scalextric and would have another one if I had the room as I'm a massive Motorsport fan. All the best Rick
Hi Rick I was at elsecar heritage centre last week Antique shopping on the way home I had noticed all the weeds on the railway line have been cleared could be good news that the railway might be reopening planning has been in place for a new station to be built halfway Down the line from elsecar for a couple of years now and I have heard rumours that it might extend to the cortonwood shopping centre if that’s the case should be a great profitable line for elsecar & Barnsley council. 🤞
5:48 great old tinplate set. Marklin still does small runs of their tinplate stuff every few years. 12:30 Is that one fitted with the dynamic smoke thing with the cylinder in the boiler or is it just a Seuthe type pot 18:55 So they did that one in BR blue too (the green one was sold in the Netherlands by the Hema department store ages ago)
Hi Rick and Pauline,, You showed the later model pullmans in there hornby boxes @ the 9 minute 30 second mark. You mentioned the pipes on the roof. Do you know what the piping is for ? I have a sked a few different people over the last few years and havent had any responses from them. Did you also say they were £44 each. Seems I snavelled a bargian as I only paid $40 ausd for 3 of these but no boxes bur like in really good nic for how old they are. Speaking of , do you know how old they are ? Cheers from John in Australia
Hi John, not sure on the pipes maybe water for the toilets? Pullman prices vary a lot as Hornby has done many variations and releases over the last few years. All the best Rick.
Hi watched a few videos of you both at these model rail fairs where can I find information about where and when they are on new to model railways and would like to visit some of them hope this not too much trouble
Hi Ian, if you have Facebook we have a page called Well Chuffed Railways where I post events and whatnot. If you don't have Facebook you can visit the UK Model Directories events page but please note BP fairs are not listed on there. Thanks for watching Rick
£55 for an O Gauge loco even in second hand is a remarkable bargain by today's standards. Even O Gauge diesel shunters can cost up to £400 brand new! Seeing the Elsecar Railway being broken up also made me sad too. As a lifelong lover of preserved railways it pains me to see all the money and effort that volunteers and investors wasted for it to end up like this. I really hope some white knight millionaire could step in and save it, but realistically it's gone well past that and it most likely will never happen as preserved railways are not for profit organisations. They could buy the shunter and the brake van to save but not the railway. Or maybe the station bit could be bought and repurposed as a café or something. You never know.
Hi Alex, yes not a bad starting point for O gauge at that price. They look pretty good with a bit of detailing. Fingers crossed on Elsecar. All the best Rick
Anuther great swap meet id give a arm to get 1 those box sets u looked at ur knoledge of locos an cars is incredable u an pauline explaineing things makes vidieos super keep up the grest work only way i get to go to swap meets we dont have any here

Not too bad mate:). You sure can find the show to video tape lol!!! But you know it is great and keep them coming Rick take care!!!!
Awwwww Rick you bought 1 mate the 33 / crompton well done i cant keep on anymore thank for another exellent vid as allways thank you pauline as well .
Wasn't sure of HO counted but for £10 it's a nice little curio. Cheers Rick
a great fair there guys... nice 33 buy and a lovely toad at the end ...
Hi Neil, probably not my cleverest buy but it's quirky. Thanks for watching Rick
Great video nice show lots of good items to buy will have to try and get to one of them 👍
Thanks for watching Clive
good vid on the chaNNEL nice train fait and toy show thanks lee
Thanks Lee
Hi Guys, nice to see Rick get a 33. I,v got the same one in ho gauge. A good runner. All the best guys. Carl.
Hi Carl, it was too tempting at a tenner. All the best Rick.
The real observation car was at Swanage Railway a week ago. As for "Thomas" my street cred won't allow me to comment lol.
I’m sure we had it in the yard at Clapham a few years ago when I was a dispatcher there
Hi Andy, thanks for the info and your street cled is still intact for the time being😂😂

Might need a mortgage for the Bachmann one.
some great bargains here those Dublo sets were in good nick too
Thanks Digger, can't fault the longevity of the Dublo models. All the best Rick

you are lucky to be able to go to all these fairs, because where i am in cumbria, the amount of fairs in this area is nil
Yes we are a bit spoilt! The trade stands at exhibitions are a good alternative and the club stands gave some good buys. Thanks for watching Rick
Another great show Rick and Pauline really enjoyed it and that Pullman observation car was cool.
Hi Deano, cool but pricey but what isn't these days. All the best Rick
The Lima ho class 33 makes a great chassis for the airfix railbus kit. I've used the chassis on two kits
That's good to know as I have seen a few of the kits. Thanks Rick

Thanks for the info Kelvin
Nice
I went to the Chester swapmeet on Saturday, no vid as I couldn't stay long, no wagon bargains, but got a load of scenic materials for a song.
Hi Tim, we haven't seen half as many Mainline wagons as we used to do. All the best Rick.
@@wellchuffedrailways No me neither, only saw a few at Chester and they were way to expensive for my budget
Another great video loved the 3 rail sets in suitcase as we got 3 rail and n gauge and 00 gauge lovely to see the shows
Thanks Caroline
