I still have my Panasonic F70 VHS Recorder set up and connected to a modern TV via a SCART to HDMI convertor 😁
It recorded its audio two ways: firstly to the conventional linear side channel; secondly to an interlaced arrangement between the actual video channels on the main part of the tape. The quality of the second is vastly superior to the first.
This is why authors of any kind of writing should always get their work proof-read by someone else, preferably multiple different people. It's so easy for people to miss such things.
I know it doesn't suit most, but due to my financial constraints at the moment, the longer SLW take to start sending out sound versions, the better. It gives my finances a bit more time to recover.
Agreed re more, but they need to fix some of the design flaws first (cab roof with visible slide for the cab back, should have just been a separate roof; rear bunker and extended coal rails to proper size without a moulded on lamp bracket; and any more if there are any).
If you look at the linkage at the front of the bogie, it's directly under the forward cab door handrail on both the model and the real thing, so I think it's most likely right on the model.
Obviously very early days, and much info still to be given, but I do wonder if the balance that Warley did of layouts/exhibits/traders can be maintained?
Aside from that, I'm very glad that a national show will still happen each year. I thought we might get it back, but didn't think it would be this year.
Many thanks to Warners and Andy.

I wouldn't mind guessing that they're just trying to clear the decks now, and working through different piles of things as they do so, with whatever delivery materials they have to hand. Being highly efficient in the final days is not going to be top of their agenda.
Edit: Just to add, this is sad to see this actually happen. RIP Hattons, it was good knowing you.
As with the SLW 25, I'm stuck for cash for a couple of months so am having to ask the retailer if I can pay a bit for them to hold to until I can fully pay. Not great, and really could have done with them having come through last year when cash was a bit more available.
