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?

Certainly looks different in the video

It wasn't my first exhibition, (that was at the Central Halls Westminster ), but can anybody remember the Finescale exhibition put on by MRJ? The queues around the block were the longest I have ever seen or experienced, but it was a he** of a good show with Horley as the standout layout.

you don't say what scale but I presume you mean OO. but available in TT:120 and N https://www.osbornsmodels.com/arch-laser-altt34--tt-1120-scale-radley-station-gwr-main-building-kit-54599-p.asp

Oxford Diecast Top Ten Products for 2023! Jus announced and guess what TT vehicles took the 3rd, 5th, 6th 7th and 8th spots. Remarkable for a new scale

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 was out of date.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.

not correct.

its a good job sewer men and electricians don't work from home then.

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.

as do Kato for N scale http:// https://www.osbornsmodels.com/kato-t-track-modules-1289-c.asp

proper modelling I call it. Excellent

Didcot station1957 and from my bedroom window I could see the DNSR working uphill to Upton & Blewbury. A bit later the City of Truro was a regular turn on the line and the setting sun set it off beautifully. Little did we know it wasn't to last.

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).

I am on the site OK . just trying to establish contact. Here's hoping

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.

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.

That was part of the plan Mike but one thing at a time amongst everything else we have to do!

and an N scale 1/148 one here https://www.osbornsmodels.com/arch-laser-a3d149-n-gauge-austin-k2-ambulance-58437-p.asp

and often stood rather than sat.

I don't recall it being free. I am sure that I paid an entrance fee that gave access to making tracks and the Cathedral as well or am I imagining it

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.

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
