here is what I picked up at the show from the 2nd hand stall... Two Lima YGH Sealion wagons at 2 x $20.00 I couldn't resist ! These will be converted : http://www.semgonline.com/model/lima-sea-to-40t-hop.html 1 x Pennsylvania Railways Breakdown Crane... $30.00, sold retail for $60.00 plus... and 2 x 8000 Gallon Tank wagons... $10.00 each ! There were bargains everywhere, but when one only has about 5-10 minutes to peruse through thousands of models, well.... Cheers, Gary.
Definitely bargains, especially when you see the price of the newer Sealions now...! As I got a $10.00 discount on the wagons, that makes 4 wagons and a crane for just a tad over £35.00 ! At the moment, I'm going to take a break from modelling, but not too long ! The last few weeks has been quite frantic getting everything up to speed for the exhibition. I think I had completed more modelling in the last few weeks than I had in the last 6 months ! So, for the 'treatment' as Toto calls it, yes, it will happen, but not overnight ! The Sealions will go through some improvements outlined above (link). I met up with Al Cutmore of AR Kits who is a die-hard Pennsylvania Rail Road modeller (N-scale) and he has given me a few tips to improve the look of the crane. If your looking in Al, thanks mate. Cheers, Gary.
