Kader also manufacture model railway products for other independent (from Kader) companies based in the US and the UK but do we know what brands they are and how significant is that share of the group turnover?

Frasers Group (nee Sports Direct) raises stake in Hornby to 9%
osbornsmodels replied to 1andrew1's topic in Hornby
is probably the answer why Colin's model shops info. was out of date. It is true that the initial offer to selected retailers did expect the full range to be stocked and a demo layout installed. Obviously that was unrealistic in most already cramped model shops and somewhere along the line the policy was quietly changed. We have obtained items of rolling stock but availability is restricted by what is available in the warehouse at any one time and that includes Arnold items which sell through very quickly as well it seems. Hope that clears things up. -

Abingdon and District MRC 50 Years - ABRAIL 24 - 2nd/3rd March
osbornsmodels replied to Hadders64's topic in Exhibitions
We are looking forward to attending my 'old club' show once more. Not been for a few years as it is quite a long trek for what is normally a one day show but this year is a bit special as a 50 year celebration event. Hope to see many there. -

proper modelling I call it. Excellent -
It has probably been mentioned already but no time to scroll. A re-tooled N gauge 14XX (with and without top feed) would be most welcome. An upgraded autocoach in N would also be nice to have

Possibly Les but certainly CoT ( which is already in the Bachmann OO range).

55 Foot Turntable - Allowed Locomotives

I am sure I have seen a photo of Machynllet locomotive turntable with an extender to support the tender of an overlength loco extender. -
Nobody and with shop stocks at an all time high plus manufacturers/distributers bombarding the consumer on a daily basis with offers in desperate attempts to move surplus stocks we have moved into very interesting times.

there is always the 'N' option if you want to run full length HST's or Azumas but it won't be too long before Hornby releases TT 120 rakes. Don't get stressed Model Railways should be the antidote to stress.

osbornsmodels replied to Mike Harvey's topic in Road Vehicles
apologies that is the base model from which future versions can be formed, so it depends on demand for variants. That is why I posted it. -

For those interested in old buses (and coaches)
osbornsmodels replied to Joseph_Pestell's topic in Wheeltappers
I don't ever recall the livery on fleet #332 so what year was that applied? I don't think it sits well, do you? Nice to see a few background shots of the old Cowley Rd. garage side on. -

osbornsmodels replied to Joseph_Pestell's topic in Wheeltappers
thanks for the pictures. They bring back memories but none of a 52 to blackbird Leys that is some modern invention! Only a #1 went (or 5) went to Cowley . The buses didn't go to the Railway forecourt when I was a schoolboy but the #1 started from outside the front of the old LMS train Shed. It was a penny halpenny half fare to the Cowley Swan stop (in 1958). A superb livery don't you think
