Yelrow Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 high, just in case anyone is as confused as i was, my comments, were not on this post, but on Escalating prices, and general Rant... That being said, at the age of 10, i also was capable of saving to buy a wagon. The point i made was on todays prices. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR LNER fan 4472 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Let's say I'm under 20. My only passions in life are railways and general nerdy stuff (i.e. Star Wars, Doctor Who etc.). I grew up watching and reading Thomas the Tank Engine so I guess that's one of the reasons why I love railways. I do not have any game console and I'm not on any social media unlike all my friends. I save up the money I earn from mowing neighbour's lawns and at the end of the year, or when I have enough, I buy an engine or something. Caerphilly Castle was my first purchase in this form and I suppose that's why I'm so fond of it. Unfortunatly, I'm runing out of space on my layout so I'm postponing buying rolling stock until I get my own house... ah, the dream... I'll only buy new rolling stock if there's something I'm desperate for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gricer Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Recently a friend turned up with two Dublo tin plate coaches in BR blood and custard. He had seen them on top of a skip in his road and thought that I might like them. The house was being cleared by children of the previous (late) owner. They told him that a lot more had been put in the skip earlier - it was now crushed at the bottom and unaccessible. My children have shown no interest in my railway and my oldest grandson doesn't bother with trains now he is 12! I suspect that in due course his 7 year old brother will also abandon his visits to my railway shed. I have insisted that my layout should be given away if they can't be bothered to use it or sell it. I do fear for the long term future of this hobby. Oh yes - 67 years old, by the way. Sorry to post a rather depressing item. The good news is that I have two rescued Dublo coaches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
