Reality Hits

So here I am with all these Triang and Hornby trains looking at what else is available - Oh my!

I decide to limit any new purchases to pre 1962 era and things that might be seen in Lancashire.

(that's my era and location - yours may be different)

I realize that many of my purchases are not that good a quality and start researching how to improve them.

So many options .. around now I also realize some manufacturers have more realistic models than others.

I have to pick the better ones, or those that are easily improved.

I've done more research and find out my coaches and many wagons are poor or out of my timeframe/location.

Does it matter? - well that's an individual call and for me - yes it does.

So, I've already spent most of my budget, only option for me is to try and resell all the stuff I don't want so I

can buy more of what I do.

Slowly of course, I'm not going to give it away.

And there's some ok plastic kits for wagons and coaches - they'll be first on the list to buy.

I know there are gorgeous brass models out there but they cost lots and need skills to make - so hold off for now.

There we are - rationalize and improve.
