Nothing to Buy! (The curse of modelling 'right now'?)

I've been getting restless lately (in a modelling sense that is), as having sworn not to start a new layout until next year (after Ring Road has done a couple of exhibitions), I've had nothing new to get stuck into.
Fanciful ideas pop up, such as making a small single board layout just to run the locos round (seemed too much effort for small return due to limitations of layout size), deciding what to do with my stalled entry into OO DDC Sound, and ideas for the next large N gauge layout...but other than my 350, I've not done that much modelling at all this year.
With Ring Road only needing a new facia in the autumn ready for its shows, magazine coverage and DVD both due out this summer, there's a sense of completion there, and so I've been looking at my rolling stock collection for missing items I'd quite like to have as the modelling fund isn't currently being spent...and have found none!
I suddenly seem to have found my self 'up to date' with rolling stock, and pending new releases, there's nothing left I want to buy. A strange and unnatural situation to be in, I can tell you!
My own fault, yes, for sticking to 'current' liveries and operations, and avoiding liveries I don't much favour (First GB for one), but its not something that happens very often that I have money to spend....and nothing to spend it on. This is a dangerous situation, as you start looking at 'big things' in OO, steam engines, new layouts (NO!) to run your existing stock on...
Roll on the new releases, as I'm starting to get withdrawl symptoms from not buying!
