I sooo want a couple of these but I'm far, far away ..... :-(

Did you just ask @Edwardian for his references?

What is the title of the book you are using as a reference? I presume Lewis is the author.

It would be very helpful if you could list your references. Thank you.

My card was declined and after a brief but very pleasant email exchange with their Simon & Heather, it was all resolved via PayPal within a couple of hours. Seeing that I sit many thousands of miles, and a few time zones, away, I was tres pleased.

I haven't read the entire thread but on the off chance it hasn't been said: I've had zero problems getting caught up today, everything seems to be working fine, and the performance is sparkling. Thank you 👍

One point I don't think has been made yet here is that these lovely offerings will be with us this year! I am so tired of announcements that get me all excited just to read I might be able to get my grubby mitts on them some years into the future. At my age ....

You didn't leave any for the rest of us? Booo.

I don't think the scraped beading on the wartime grey locomotive looks too realistic in these photo's. Any chance of a color closer to brass?

Just received my Brighton Works and it is a real beauty. Compared to my Rails LBSCR Terrier, easily equal in quality and enough detailed differences to add interest. I'm so glad I bought both. Trouble is my old Terriers now look crap. Such is progress.

Those GWR color schemes are making me go weak at the knees, gorgeous!

Reading this comment has triggered the thought, what color scheme, if any, would be suitable for the coaches in a ROD WW1 setting? We have some lovely locomotives these days in model form. I know there are several experts here that may be able to help. Is there a prototype? or something close enough? Thanks in advance.

I am so so pumped after seeing these CAD's. What a superb marketing tool. Well done Hattons!! I can't wait to get these in my grubby hands, roll on the new year. PS must order some more

Very pleased with the announcement. Just pre-ordered. And yes, I do have the early version but a tad knackered now.

It is not illegal to overbook flights in the US. It's done by the airlines because a vast number of people don't show up, so the aircraft would otherwise always fly less than full. On the occasions when the airlines do get caught out, cash is rarely offered as an inducement. Free flights are usually offered. In my experience, which is extensive, there is never any problem finding volunteers to deplane. I've done it myself. Fly a couple of hours later on the next flight and get a free flight to anywhere within the continental US, that's usually a pretty good deal. By the way, nobody is forcibly removed from an aircraft due to overbooking. If nobody leaves, you just sit there until the airline ups the offer until a volunteer emerges. Nothing whatsoever to do with Hornby Rockets but I feel the need to set the record straight.
