  2. A friend of mine sells display cases, and often he sells very few on the day of any show he attends, BUT over the next few weeks he gets a lot of orders from people who went to the show and measured up when they got home. So sales on the day might be slow the results of attending the show are felt for a period after,
  3. Temple Mills and Stratford are NORTH of the Thames so therefore they would not be able to provide any trains to Ebbsfleet as that is SOUTH of the river and the affected tunnel
  4. How would they get the stock to Ebbsfleet/Ashford? You would have to rely on incoming trains and the service would be halved at best

    Hornby Tier System

    Surely the answer is to go back to basics and decide whether or not they are retail company or manufacturer . They can`t be both. Bachmann although they have a shop in Barwell/Hinkley do not sell directly to the public as a rule. Hornby ought to take a long hard look at them selves and realize that continual retooling does not work, and people want new models, not just reissues. A certain persons " retirement" has probably helped but it needs somebody with a knowledge of the the hobby, and not one who is figures orientated .
  6. Remember that in any club there are 1 The Doers 2 The canters and 3 The wont`ers, Guess which ones moan the most.

    EBay madness

    A lot of Rails prices seem to be pick a figure out of the air, and their descriptions are vague at best.

  10. Just found this on the web Strike action scheduled for Avanti West Coast services on Sunday 2nd July 2023 has been cancelled. As a result, Avanti West Coast will run their planned timetable on this date. on the https://www.thetrainline.com/trains/great-britain/industrial-action site
  11. Ritzer`s did relocate a few years ago, but from what I have heard they do not do as much railway as they used to . There are two other shops in Nurembrg Eisenbahn Dorfler Färberstraße 34/36, 90402 Nürnberg, Germany and Inh. G. Keller Helmut Sigmund Modellbahnen Schweiggerstraße 5, 90478 Nürnberg, Germany. The second shop is very cramped and not very well laid out but may have older stock available. Dorflers is a very good shop with both new and second hand.
  12. I went last year and really enjoyed it. The chance to see both the live narrow gauge steam and the layouts certainly made it a different experience, and all at a reasonable cost. Couldn`t make this year but will keep an eye open for future events.
