Hi Andy, where are the T&C's stating the minimum period? In the emails from Kernow, TMC and Rails Of Sheffield this is the exact text: T&Cs: Offer closes at midnight on Sunday, November 17th. Tickets sent via First Class post on November 18th. Collect your Goody Bag and 1st issue of BRM at the show from the BRM stand. After your 5 issues of BRM your subscription changes to £12.49 per quarter by Direct Debit. When you click on the link provided in the emails also, I don't see any T&C's stating the minimum subscription period? https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/store/promotions/british-railway-modelling/BRM%2fPREWARLEY19TMC?mc_cid=0717d8c63d&mc_eid=e19ce2367d I apologise if I'm being thick, I just cant see where it states the minimum subscription period as it does seem to be very ambiguous.

V2??? Crumbs, imagine if the same week they seem to have resolved the Bachmann dispute they go ahead and announce a new OO gauge V2.

Dapol OO Gauge Class 122 at Rails of Sheffield, £104.50 each. https://railsofsheffield.com/groups/2759/oo-class-122-locomotives?fbclid=IwAR1eUGrk57Xn47_hKu9pcCHXFDPjcXPfkGm17j43OSVWBaaSJ8WOm9LvwGs

The new Bachmann Freightliner Class 90 is £140 new on the official Freightliner eBay shop. Cheapest I've seen elsewhere is £152, but only 10 left as of posting https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Freightliner-Class-90-32-612-Powerhaul-00-Gauge-Loco/192932205638?epid=11032088684&hash=item2ceba7d446:g:uX0AAOSwV~lc7ktA&frcectupt=true

Would much rather have a model delayed by a few months and then be wowed by it, rather than a model which has been rushed to meet a deadline but with glaring errors.

Just received an email from Hattons informing me that R3600TTS 'Maude' is due in stock Wednesday 27th March

If there is to be a new club loco (excluding the Bagnall) available to purchase, I'm wondering if it could be Fenchurch in preserved form? It would fit the bill of an attractive livery, preserved loco, making use of a new tooling and would compliment the club H Class loco perfectly. Alternatively I may simply be deluded/desperate to see Fenchurch

Fantastic announcement!! (Especially after Saturday's purchased of a TPE 68!) Will be sure to pre order a rake of TPE ones!

Very much looking forward to this show, it's always a good one!

Received an email from Hattons 10 minutes ago also advising that Maude will now be released in May.

Can confirm the code does indeed work on model railway items!

Fiddlesticks, seems I'm too late to the party for the EWS TEA. Well I'm now signed up to the Revolution Trains newsletter- hopefully the success will encourage another run!

I'm sorry but your post is flawed. At this years open day event at the Churnet Valley Railway, there were both steam and diesel operating including a BR Blue 33 on passenger duty and cab rides in a Janus, both diesel locos. The new N gauge club model MK2A FK in RTC livery is most definitely not steam era and the previous club model in OO was a 47 in EWS livery, once again not steam. Not to mention when you look at the Works report, in OO gauge the quantity of items at EP sample or later, diesels/DEMUs outnumber steam locos and in N gauge there are as many modern image as steam products in the report.

Which version of Lyn would be correct/best to purchase if modelling the new build loco, on the present day preserved Lynton and Barnstaple Railway?

Wow! This one has caught me by surprise, thought that even with the revival of the thing it would be too niche to be produced by a manufacturer in RTR. Delighted to be proven wrong though and will start saving pennies to place an order!

I would definitely get some network rail ones should they be produced, would compliment the Hattons ones well (although as a lover of OOC I would also be tempted by that variation also).

Interesting read. There's certainly lots to look forward to this next 12 months! One loco I don't see mentioned though which I thought was due to be released sooner rather than later is 37884 in Europhoenix livery with sound. I wonder if it's an accidental omission or if it has been significantly delayed for an unknown reason.

I have also just had an email from locomotion saying that the Black frame City Of Truro I reserved is due in stock 15/10/18 and the price is £149 plus postage. Also note that the email came into my junk folder so if you don't see a message in your main folder, check the junk!

Much prefer the old site to the new one. The preowned section of the new site is a complete mess, the news section has been stuck right at the bottom of the homepage with each item taking up way more space than is necessary, the useful menu down the left hand side of the page has been removed. I just don't understand the reasons for the radical change in design?

An enjoyable and informative livestream with Hatton's Dave and Sam's Trains. Good to see Hatton's trying new ways of marketing to appeal to a different audience, hope it pay dividends.

Sad to see the state of some of the locomotives, particularly the locos 'Triumph' and 'Unique'. I visited the railway 10 years ago, and seems that with 'Unique' she has stayed in the exact spot for those 10 years with little work done and gradual deterioration. I'll add some of my photos from summer 2008.

Order placed for 37025 from Sawyer Models, will be my first purchase from them. It seems the Rep limited edition idea of getting people buying from different shops to their usual one is working with me at least!
