Another great delivery from Dan and the team at Derails. Ordered my CC1 Booster, easy ordering, low deposit as a pre-order and it arrived safe and sound. Just chipped and she runs like a dream. These have been my go to online shop for some time now, check ‘em out😎

Have we lost sight of what this hobby is about? The vitriol and bile espoused by a number of self appointed’guardians’ of the hobby seem to come from the cess pit of Twitter brigade. There is no place for it in this hobby. Buy it, don’t buy it, but stop banging on about it. It’s a model, in OO gauge, if it was that true to life you would have a cushioned seat in the cab with a miniature driver sipping a miniature cup of tea! KR models should be applauded for producing this model where others would not dare. Show me a model that is perfect or without compromises… no I didn’t think so. This hobby can be a beautiful distraction from the realities of life, some posters on here seem determined to bring it all down to a base level. No doubt every word of mine will be rebutted in every way, crack on. I for one will still support this great hobby including all manufacturers, offering constructive feedback where necessary to encourage and support future products.

Well guys, I really appreciated the effort that has gone into this. Some great inspiration from layouts, to demonstrations and guest speakers. It is comforting to know that many of us have been supporting the hobby, through the local shops and the manufacturers. I know we are all itching to get to the exhibitions again, but this was an excellent idea, even though spot the difference competitions were real kickers.......thanks! Now where did I put that soldering iron............?

I cannot fathom the nay sayers who go onto this forum and say....nothing for me! We should congratulate Hornby on a colourful and ambitious programme that will appeal to all corners of the hobby, young, old and in between. I certainly will be making some purchases. Roll on the next 100 years.

Well done KR Models, £50 deposit paid, awesome project and I look forward to seeing the results, whenever that is, take your time, no one died from a model being delivered a bit later than expected. #getsomeperspectivepeople. Dan
