Thanks very much Tom

[@douglaswhitehead2550]

Hi another great video, that maroon lms van you pick up are a lot better than the old ones and come in a set of 3 don't pay anymore than a tenner.

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Thanks for the info Douglas

[@ivovanzon164]

13:34 If you spend some time on a serious paintjob some of these can be used as foreground figures. They are mostly bootleg Preiser copies. For that the guy is telling at 13:51, the same is true for HO where you get figures without legs designed for vehicles (Preiser set 10387 and 10391) The cheaper Chinese ones on sale here are a lot easier on the total budget if you need to get rid of the legs. The same goes for buses. 18:54 I guess these were using some close couplers (based on the relative movement). Having retracted and extended gangway connections adds a lot to the overall look of the train (or you avoid it and go for the modern coaches with the rubber rings)

[@wellchuffedrailways]

As always thanks for your words of wisdom Ivo. Many thanks Rick

[@graham76man]

Those "coaches" are Inspection saloons. They could drive the loco from the cab, as the coach itself was not powered. They were used for looking for track faults. Great video guys. I love to see the brass and plastic parts traders. As it's so difficult to view those types of things on websites. You often get the wrong size or wrong thing. But when you see them on a stand or in a shop you know precisely what you want and get.

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Hi Graham, thanks for the info. I did read up on them after the show, they must be newly released models as all of a sudden they are everywhere! The traders with all the bits and bobs are very useful and always worth keeping an eye for spares should you ever need them. All the best Rick

What You don’t get at One Train Show You can Get it at The Other one.

Exactly! 😀

Super video once more from you 2. What type of buffers are you looking for, might be able to print some for you. Frank

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Hi Frank, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching. Regarding the buffers, just the standard rail built ones. All the best Rick

[@frankwhittle4364]

@@wellchuffedrailways I will look through and print and send some samples off to you, if you give me an address to send to, could be a P.O. box if you prefer. Frank

[@wellchuffedrailways]

Ok Frank, if you have Facebook you can contact me through the Well Chuffed Railways group. Many thanks Rick

[@elleryparsons2433]

Train Shows Will Cause Train Tardedness And Train Toxication and Will Make You Druel Nothing Wrong With Anything of that it’s All Good to Be A Model Railroader 👍.

[@Railwayrob]

Thanks for your videos I really enjoy them. Do you ever have to ask permission to film layout’s or trade stands?

[@wellchuffedrailways]

At first we did but a lot of the layout operators know of us now. Most traders have seen us around and are always happy to chat and have a laugh with us. At the end of the day it's free publicity, a lot of the traders get have people contacting them having seen the videos. Not all of them have details for us to put on screen but it's good publicity for the toy fairs and people will sometimes attend events having seen the videos. One thing I will say is it's always best to wait until the customers are done and try not to get in the way. It was trickier when we started out but I guess we are part of the furniture now! Hope that helps Rick

[@Railwayrob]

Yeah that makes sense. I’ve done some videos myself and I’m never quite sure if it’s ok although do I ask when possible.

[@marknewtonwickfordstation2023]

Hey its me mark you met me and my family at Stafford toy fair when thr next video please

Hi Mark, it will be Sunday morning. I will put the footage Pauline filmed of you on at the end. Nice to meet you all and please give our regards to your family. All the best Rick
