I don't collect CD's i just buy what i like at the time and have ended up with over 2000 of them and still counting, however the thing i do collect, and i know i am going to soud a bit girly now   is Portmerian pottery of the Botanic Garden design,.................Hey each to there own i suppose

Vinyl.....not the gimp stuff before anyone goes down that road  

I have an extensive collection of 7' 12' and Albums dating back to the mid 80's, never counted but i know that the cabinet is 6 foot long and it is crammed full

Faves are picture discs of the late 80's they look sooooo cool.

CD's are too clinical, too clean, i love the crackle and hiss of vinyl.

Me too, spent a fortune on vinyl records over the years. Tend to buy mainly cd's now but will NEVER part with my records!

I used to collect Guitars....however .... there came a time, when i no longer ran a music shop, (a useful way of hiding the new acquisitions...    ) that the wife said 27 was too many...   I'm down to abut 10 or 12 or so....  

also rare and expensive high end pro-audio equipment....   but that's easier to keep, as it goes in the studio and is never seen again (as far as She's concerned)    and is offset against tax etc... being as it's my job....

and Tigers...   sadly we're not able to have a real one, so we're limited to  Stuffed toys, paintings, photos, etchings, plates, mugs, posters.... ceramics, and even an operating system !  


we tried collecting kids but they're too expensive, and keep escaping after about 18 years... they also grow, which is bloody inconvenient as well !   we stopped after 5

My last house (flat garden) I built an outdoor railway, I used to run collectors models that most people keep wrapped up and never use - when I bought one "Are you a collector or a runner?" I run the buggers, so what if it cost over £100.

I am scared to work out my model railway costs but I do have 38 locos 2 cost around 100!!!!, however some are toys from childhood and 2 are my HST set. 14 DMU coaches  (5 motored)

Just over 100 coaches including parcels type stock (and 6 belong to the boys)

And around 170 wagons - most are kits to be sad I have a rake of 12 mineral wagon, 5 tubes, loads of china clays

we'll have to have an OOF  day out to Pendon....

I love Railways, used to scratch build quite a bit, but I had to choose between studio or railway, and sadly the model railway stuff doesn't pay the bills.

I go to Pendon a couple of times a year to "scratch the itch" as it were...

heavy freight across the viaduct is a joy top behold , and i always enjoy spotting new progress upstairs in the Vale scene.

always wanted an out door gauge O or Gauge 1 , but sadly it's never come to pass...

maybe when i retire.

yeah, right, like I'll ever be able to afford to retire....  

[Martin_1962]

Some of my stuff is over 40 years old but not much, went mad with Airfix wagon kits, hence all the mineral and cements, I like the Parkside kits - moan at them enough and they appear - I repeatedly asked for STV Tube wagon, HTV Hoppers and a few others, bought a few nice mark 1 kits just before Bachmann released there RTRs, spent ages detailing Lima stuff, flush glazing, some repaints, fixing roofs (all mk1 have same roof) , and of course their bogies B4s are wrong way round and BR1s are wrong sized wheels.

The Bachmann Mk1s are really good

Years ago; in my 'yoof', I dabbled with garden rail...`great fun!  

[humbucker]

Do any of you collect owt unsual or just collect owt at all?

I am a collector of early 21st century speeding convictions. I just don't seem to be able to get enough of them.

Other than that I have amassed quite the guitar collection.

it's Spelt RAAAWWWKKKKKK   thank you very much !



Very nice Debs , We had family friends in LlanfairPG , they had a small (NOT)  track in "development" running thru the garden. and a fantastic trestle viaduct over the garden pond...  all scratch built, I think it was nominally gauge 1, but Narrow gauge , Ffestiniog/Talyllyn style .

I was a bit miffed that Mum stopped taking us to see them when the parents split up....   "She" was Mum's frined, and it was "His" railway.

Shame....

[MaxV6]

I assure you, "Frined" is Welsh shorthand for "mate" , in the vernacular, familiar style.
 

[amigov6]

I collect old corgi'dinky/matchbox. I have a guitar which i sort of can't play ish! Few old car brochures/badges & old CB radios. 1960's /70's lighters & watches. Just bit's 'n bobs that catch my eye.
