Ha ha, I'm barmier than you. When you have the space for a layout that demands a selection of 40 to 60 wagon trains to realistically represent freight operations - and now near 90'% of that stock is from RTR - you need a special relationship with money. The way this works is that my most excellent wife and I have an agreement about our joint disposable income, we can each spend half of it.Dad-1 wrote:...This has given me the push to drag out of the loft 20 x 21 ton hoppers.

for a few years. Can't justify having that many 13 tonners though, although my TOPS record
tells me I paid £7.20 each for them - Must have been mad to spend £144 on one type of wagon...
Now one of us largely disposed of this on holidays, clothes, shoes, garden items: near all of which is now 'used up', and most of the physical items discarded. The other one still has 800 RTR wagons, mostly obtained at the three to five quid each rate. My clothes hang off me in rags, but look at my train set.
