[@Sandlingjunction]

All good Geoff, great to meet up, cheers P

[@Pixie586]

Hi Paul, fantastic to meet you at GETS. Maybe we could meet again sometime.

[@Sandlingjunction]

I do so hope so, the meet and great was a good thing to have happened, cheers P

[@cbhobbyblog]

Hello, it was great to meet you at GETS, especially glad I found your channel the day before! GWR T-Shirt was me 🙂 Now some brilliant purchases there, I did look at using Kadees on my layout but as you say the price has got a little silly really so I have opted to stick with the tension lock for now. Really happy for you that you managed to add 2 missing pieces to your collections, Channel Packet is simply gorgeous with the Southern on the tender being a plate as well it really stands out! When you mentioned about a C Class that got to silly money quite quickly I thought it was the SE&CR one not a wartime black example - no telling what is suddenly going to become super popular I guess! - All the best Christopher

[@Sandlingjunction]

Many thanks, Christopher, I so enjoyed GETs and all that it had to offer. You maybe correct on the SE&CR I need to check. cheers P

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

Hi Paul - It was great to meet you and Julian on the Saturday and I enjoyed watching what you bought . I noticed the JS Models kit and Jonathan is a really nice guy and took a lot of time designing a bespoke kit for me so it was good to see him face to face to say thanks . Being SR based myself I too love the Cromptons and anything SR too !! so nice to see you got some good deals . Yes GETS was very busy this year and I found it almost impossible to get near layouts and stands but I think it may be because of the publicity for Making Tracks 3 . It is always a gamble if there is a match on the Saturday as the EFL dont't announce the fixtures until June and no doubt the venue is booked a year or more in advance. Looking forward to your build. Cheers Kev

[@Sandlingjunction]

Yes correct on every count Kev, but a good weekend despite Keys cockups and the numbers there, which of course I was one of them so cannot moan lol, cheers P

[@robertstrainset6556]

Hi, A very nice video enjoyed watching the double act and It was nice to meet you along with Julian if only for a short time at GETS on Saturday just as you got to the meetup after your travel mayhem its not like that at "normal" GETS. You did buy a lot of goods for the future build and was interested in the Battle of Britain Class as I have bought a train pack from 2006 at a smaller show and have just fitted a Zimo sound recorder into it and if you need a fix of running of one my video on her is up now. I wish you a lot of luck with your new build and will watch out for future video's from you. KD's verses Hunt the KD'S can be uncoupled automaticlly Hunts not Hunts are good if you need to take stock of and on all the time like me but I do not have many at th moment but get by. Keep well and safe and modeling (building) Cheers Robert.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Yes, Robert great to meet you and as always it was so short a time. ill check out the Bof B video, cheers P

[@colinmorrisondavies3709]

I have an ADM turntable and it’s brilliant piece of kit

[@Sandlingjunction]

Yes sadly no longer produced, but great kit Colin, cheers P

[@delphjunction1168]

🇺🇦 Hi Julian. Just subscribed to you. To be honest found it a bit stressful on the Saturday, couldn't see most of the exhibits. Did manage to spend some money though.😁 Highlight for me was the meet up thanks to Timber organising it. Just started my own channel and wanted to thank people that have encouraged me and helped me. Had to go out a couple of times for air. So won't be going to Warley. Thanks for your vlog buddy. Stay safe. DELPH JUNCTION (Pete)

[@Sandlingjunction]

Im sure Julian will see this peter, thanks for the comment, cheers P

[@delphjunction1168]

@@Sandlingjunction Sorry have I got names mixed up. Could be an age thing. Pete.

[@Sandlingjunction]

all good @@delphjunction1168

[@gordonmcillroy455]

Certainly agree about the price of Kadees Paul. glad you and Julian had a god time. your Saturday sounds a bit like that old T/V series "On the buses" but worse. However you got some good prices on those locos. Now lets hear about the layout progress. :)

[@Sandlingjunction]

Yes it did, but on the buses was a much more organised affair, cheers P

[@tynedock]

Great to meet your and Julian, shame we didn't get long to chat on the Saturday. Only to get stuck in another queue for the Bus at the end of the day! Look forward to NEW Sandling Junction taking shape! Regards Steve

[@Sandlingjunction]

Thanks, Steve, yes the shuttle was a joke at best. hope to meet again not in queues though, cheers P

[@barryturner2916]

Well done on your purchases Paul, I think I need to adopt your thought when purchasing at exhibitions. Went to Folkestone (Leas Cliffe) the week before GETS with money in my wallet to purchases items that I had on a list but could not find any thing that I wanted and to my amazement went home empty handed (that's a first lol). From the KZbin clips it appears everyone had a good time, must make a date in my diary for next year and make the effort to get to GETS, take care and looking forward to your updates regards Barry..

[@Sandlingjunction]

thanks, Barry, yes I had both days at Folkstone last year doing demos and did not spend anything, made up for it this year though, and also at GETS as you have seen cheers P

[@LukeAlfordUKsteam]

Glad you had a nice time. I tried to get there on the Sunday but avanti west coast cancelled all their trains for hours on end...

[@Sandlingjunction]

ath so sorry luke youd have had so much fun, cheers P

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

The pair of you should start a podcast, you'd be a blast.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Not a bad call, watch this space.. cheers P

[@TimberSurf]

I am so sorry Julian and I contributed to encouraging you to go to GETS, it has cost you a fortune! Great to meet you both and I had a ball, the same as you.

[@Sandlingjunction]

Lol Timber, great to meet you chum, all the very best, cheers P

[@newlynnrailway]

I was tempted to book a hotel further out, but I think the few extra pounds spent on booking the Hotel on site was a good move now, Though i`m still feeling the two days of walking around but it was Great , To meet so many other youtubers and hobbyists

[@Sandlingjunction]

Yes, we should have maybe due to the arrangements disaster, but hey-ho. was great to meet so many at the show

[@peterbudd1803]

I suffered the Q's at the Bowl also. However Key gave a refund to us for the inconvenience. As for double booking the venue I cannot blame Key. They would have booked the venue a long time ago and the football fixtures are not released until June. The only way to be certain to avoid a double booking is the Hold GETS out of the football season .

[@paulappswildlifeart]

They did, did they okay that is good to hear, may call them. cheers Paul

[@ironknobsteelworks4063]

i would have called it the sandling shitter

[@Sandlingjunction]

Nah, that's just a little too descriptive, Dumpster is good. lol cheers P
