Leicester Thumper 340 Posted April 23, 2011 ok kid, good word of advice, whatever money you get, save it. forget buying sweets, save the money. I'm 18 and will be 19 in four months, I have been collecting seriously since age 7 and all that time until i started working, I saved every bit of money i got given. for example say that you got £2.50 a week (as an example) over a month that's about £10 after 5 months you should have enough to buy either a new set or get yourself a decent set up of your own also, do your family know you are into trains? cause if they do, if they ask you what you would like for xmas or your birthday ask them for a trainset, it's worth a shot we all have to start somewhere Link to comment
Leicester Thumper 340 Posted April 23, 2011 also sounds a bit desperate, but it can be handy at times.... if you get dinner money, try to save a bit of it each day, that will help too Link to comment
coachmann 43,557 Posted April 24, 2011 What did we get up to when we were 13 I wonder, Larry? With a beatiful Indian girl on my arm @ 13, I didnt need pocket money! However, I did not realize the lads age....I thought it was a leg-pull. So good luck with your modelling K☼☼l-Dude . Tap up your uncles, as they're generally good to have around if they know you have a hobby interest.. Link to comment

Leicester Thumper 340 Posted April 24, 2011 well that makes saving a tad easier! (trust me, even at 18 i consume an awful lot of sweets!) if you want any help or someone to talk to you have me and the other guys, don't worry bout them, they are lovely guys and know a lot, Link to comment

devondynosoar118 841 Posted April 24, 2011 On a money saving note- If you are building baseboards much of what you need can be got from skips- Remwber to always ask the owner of the skip before taking anything. Only take from the top layers and NEVER get inside. Safety warning over, I found all the plywood and 2 by 1 I needed for two 3 ft 6inch by 2 ft baseboards this way. Your local re-cycling centre can also be very useful. Old tables often have subframes and legs which can be used for baseboards. When you come to do scenery Celotex, insulation foam used in building, small bits of which often go in skips, makes a great base for landscaping. Keep on saving! You could also look out for ads in your local free ads paper with railway stuff for sale and play the " young person starting out" card, often people will do you a deal out of nostalgia! Good luck- post some plans, people on here are really good at getting the most from limited space/budget. Link to comment
