  1. See http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/141213-Bachmann-europe-launch-2019-catalogues-a-view-of-2018/?p=3433925
  2. I, and numerous others, have no wish whatsoever to read numerous 'Nothing in it for me' posts - they just waste space and it's of no interest or relevance to anyone else other than the person who thinks we should all pay attention to them (they invariably never read anyone else's thoughts anyway). It's nothing to do with criticism (as others done linked to more expansive thoughts) but I feel we can ask for intelligent or interesting contributions or are you prepared to read inconsequential and irrelevant posts? So do not ascribe incorrect intent to comments I have made. You should re-read what I actually said.

  4. Unsurprisingly Phil's been hanging round the 009 cabinet. He's just leaving now but will have more info in due course.
  5. Gimme chance; it's a bit slow and I'm doing Farish stuff at the mo.
  6. Bachmann have sent over the catalogue images for each of the products listed in the OP. I'll upload them by section - hover to see the image title containing the product reference number. Steam
  7. Bachmann have sent over the catalogue images for each of the products listed in the OP. I've put a selected few in there but I'll upload them by section - hover to see the image title containing the product reference number. Steam
  8. He's found something particularly interesting and useful now! It seems Proses (who Bachmann distribute in the UK) are making plastic sheets.
  9. It was treacly but the good news is I got to see what had been slowing it down last week and sorted it before it became a wider problem today.
  10. Those horns look like they'd make a good noise when you squeeze.
  11. Bachmann are currently experiencing website issues due to server load. It's being investigated but patience will be required. The best advice is not to keep hammering the site with repeat requests and that may help it stabilise.
  12. Nothing to do with that. No-one else particularly needs to know if someone else is disappointed - it really isn't interesting to read and when I've asked for a reduction in guff some really don't think it applies to them. Server loads are high and posting such rubbish is, literally, making it slower for everyone else using the site. I look forward to some more intelligent input than some posts I've already removed.
  13. Somebody didn't read my note did they? Similar guff will just get removed.
