  1. RoS already have already had their own exclusive models produced. There are many reasons why any retailer might fall out with any specific manufacturer at any time, or visa versa, you can believe any conspiracy theory you like / wish to pedal, but just having exclusive models produced is never a single or sole reason.
  2. Pure unfounded speculation of course and could be applied to any business, what we do know is RoS have been explicit in stating " Rails have purchased the Hattons brand, not the business."
  3. Except as clearly stated by RoS in their FAQ they have obtained the rights to the brand name and the website database but have not acquired the business, so will not be "a subsidiary of Rails"
  4. I never stated either the trunk or overseas postage cost were the only reasons or to blame for the demise (there were indeed many and not all yet fully in the public domain), but they are both additional costs to a business and practices that can not be simply be put in place / absorbed by other retailers.
  5. Rails of Sheffield have only purchased the Hattons brand and website database, Hattons itself as an entity is no more, you need to read the actual statement from Rails of Sheffield in full rather than just the headline and make such unfounded ill informed speculation.
  6. Oh yes introduce those costs in to a business rather than an overseas customer paying the true costs and see what happens... oh wait...
  7. "CAKE" "CAKE" Did someone mention "Cake" thIs is the first of many reminders that the "upselling, arm twisting, I mean purveyors of hearty snacks and drinks team" welcome donations on the day of cakes of any style, size, chocolate, non chocolate or even vegetable... (yes vegetable based cake counts as one of your five a day...) to ensure everybody who attends goes home properly full of cake (as well of course admiration of all the other exhibits that make up this cake event).
  8. The Rails wagons are the Diagram 1358 end door versions.
  9. Not so much TT:120 as just slightly further away...
  10. Hardly a thickening plot, the Warley club, are organising a different and for them more achievable / manageable show, just as many model railway clubs have done.
  11. Internal Panelling: Cream above waist and Red below Seats: Reddish Brown with cream figuring, varnished wood seat ends end Curtains: Blue (note: no curtains in set 363) Floor: varnished wood
  12. Indeed and exactly what I shall (and often) do!
  13. Yes the mainland E1s gained SR Bulleid black starting with 2694 from 27th January 1940 onwards.
  14. Great British Railways (GBR) is not to happen anymore It's now the Integrated Rail Body a version of Network Rail in control. The draft rail reform bill is here... https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/draft-rail-reform-bill
