The resolution that lasted all of 12 hours!

2026 comes in, Woody's New Years resolution - No more kits or railway stuff! Well that was doomed to failure as I took Mrs. Woody to buy some cookies on our annual visit to the Newark Toy and Train Fair. Well the cookie stall was there as usual with some very nice cookies that came home with us. However there was a lot of other non-cookie related things that were also very nice and some of those came home with us as well! As usual there were lots of stalls and lots of people.

So, to the items that came home. Well, these three USA freight cars with Kadee couplers cost me all of £15 for the three!

Then there was this ten high stack of boxes which cost me £40.

And once the contents were out I ended up with these.

There was also this that just needs the bogies added and a few parts.

I also saw these three n gauge USA coaches which were £5 each.

Now why buy these Woody? Well about 15 years ago I bought these with the loco for £20!

So the three additional coaches add to that train to make up this!

There were a few other bits but that is for tomorrow but in the meantime I am appreciating the USA related bargains and thinking it was a good way to break that New Year resolution as these were bargains just too good to miss! Oh! The cookies were good too!
