dibber25 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Join us for a new kind of weekend break that gives you exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the Great Western Society’s unparalleled collection of historic GWR locomotives and rolling stock, plus visits to Swindon and Pendon, to help you make your models even more realistic. https://www.model-rail.co.uk/inspo-breaks 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
truffy Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) I love GWR because...just because. But I'd be more compelled by SR (and, yes, that's not just saying). But I know there'll be a lot of takers on this. So have fun! Edited January 17, 2018 by truffy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to doing my talk on the first evening - should be fun! (CJL) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbb Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I did an on-line questionnaire yesterday that featured this 'break' amongst other things. Although happy to do the survey, it seemed over long to put it mildly. There is also an inherent bias in such surveys too, as there are a number in our hobby -nobody knows how many lets face it- that do not or will not use email in any shape or form. This reflects the age distribution in the hobby possibly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reflects the age distribution in the hobby possibly. It's one of the many problems with surveys - you only reach a certain group of people. In a way it's preaching to the converted, as you only get completed surveys from people who want to complete the survey - usually because they buy your product regularly. The people you want to reach are those who never buy your product, in order to ask them why. Nevertheless, surveys are useful to confirm whether or not one is thinking and planning on the right lines. Thank you for completing it.

The Sentinel has been offered in LNER and LMS liveries and the J70 is LNER. The 'USA' was Southern, so actually it's the GWR that Model Rail hasn't yet done an exclusive for.
