thanks for the quick reply they dont really have to be the irish livered trains just something that fits the era i have been looking on e-bay but should i buy a new set? would the hornby intercity fit the timescale im looking? thanks again for your help paul

hi all, im looking a bit of advice , my young lad wants us to get into the model scene as we spend most of our summer together in our caravan, i was thinking about a mid 80's set up as i love all things 80's and would really give him a hand with it if that was the case,i have plenty of space as i have access to a few family members caravans which are rarely used lol but dont want to go over the top so if anyone has any words of wisdom about where i should start it would be great.i would love to say moneys no object but ive just restored a 1985 raleigh burner for him and that set me back £600(told ya i love the 80's lol) so i was thinking a couple of hundred quid to get started-please let me know if that is unrealistic? thanks in advance paul p.s. the young lads 10
