Do they also sell engines at an event like this?
I was wondering how toy shows are in other parts of the world, because over here steam engines are priced about 3 times their value. I went to one show to find an engine and that was it. The first one I found, I was shocked at the price. The lady goes, "Well, what would you pay for it then?" I looked and said something like, "I wouldn't want to insult you," and walked away. The rest of the prices were the same. The only place for me to find reasonable prices are ebay and small town antique shops where the people actually know the value of the engines. |

I've never been to STIA mainly due to the fact I live on the other side of the world but from what people were saying of last years event there were some great bargains to be had there and several people here got some great deals. I'm sure there was also a fare share of over priced engines but in the UK you can still get toy engines for good prices especially the British ones obviously.

| Steve_S |
There are some bargains to be had at STIA, but you have to be quick before James snaps them up. | ||||||
| James |
LOL!!

||||||
| johnreid |

|
||||||
| James |
LMAO!

| Steve_S |
No doubt.
|
||||||
| James |

|
||||||
| steamyjim |
If i babble on about cider and the wurzels ignore me
|
||||||
| James |
Aye but I can understand you at a push
|
||||||
| CCairns |
Yes that is the big problem with visiting STIA as a member of the public - all the exhibitors have snapped up the good bargains before you can get in the gate!
I've been twice now and it's a mad dash to the traders stalls as soon as the gate opens - also do not take Scottish money as that can cause problems - I missed out on a Mamod loco whilst the trader checked with his boss if they would accept Scottish £20 notes. |

| Lewis |
arr cant wait for it now
get there early and get some nice engines
|
