Multiple identity account Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's just a bit unnecessary to be shouty about it, the same as your post on The Engine Shed topic. Be glad I didn't add a hundred of them...... there are worse problems in our hobby than an exclamation mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidH Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The exclamation mark or exclamation point is a punctuation mark usually used after an interjection or exclamation to indicate strong feelings or high volume (shouting), Or, looking at the Concise Oxford, "exclamation: a strong sudden cry; exclamation mark: indicating an exclamation." Or Fowler's Modern English Usage notes that "A note of exclamation is used after words or sentences which express emotion", going on to say that its excessive use is largely one of style and the mark of (sorry JBM) an "unpractised author" (Fowler is quite harsh over things he doesn't like, but he was writing 100 years ago, so we indulge him). In any case, the humble exclamation mark is currently quite in vogue, as any scan of social media or advertising/press releases will reveal. I don't like it, but I just note it as a fact. It's not worth publicily chastising someone up for it, and, I humbly submit, poor form for the site owner to do so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Bedding Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 To follow the popularity of the Drummond 0-6-0 in particular, and pre-grouping designs in general, the manufacturers may well be looking to see what's next from the 19th century designs of Wm Adams. Adams designs of were - IMHO - all stylish and elegant, and though most were gone pre war, there were some later survivors. The market has welcomed proposals for models of the O2 and 415 classes, and there should be similar scope for the Jubilee passenger class, the 395 six-coupled goods, and the T1 tank loco.

PB Perhaps my favourite, the 'Tilbury Tanks', might get a look in. There's an original (well mostly original) to be scanned / photographed / measured at Bressingham. The livery is superb, and they did last through LMS and into BR, when they ranged a bit further than the old LTSR routes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? Regards, Matt It's to do with the particular loco rather than the period. Some had small ones, some large. The LSWR liveried version is the preserved loco which, of the three long-lived examples, was the only one to have them.

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The side elevation photograph generally looks well enough blown up to about gauge 1 scale on my screen. (They acknowledge that the 'paint' is electronically applied to an unpainted item.) A little damage in evidence on the leading cab door handrail; which actually looks quite realistic for an in-service 'ding', for those who like their models in non-showroom condition.

Robin Brasher Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 How do they know it is coming out on 28th January? They ought to wait until the models are put on a boat and then they can give a delivery date. Also their advice about rolling stock of suitable rolling stock of the period is not helpful. I am planning to buy the LSWR version but I have not pre-ordered one as I don't think there will be a supply problem with the Oxfordrail version coming out as well. If Oxford sell out of a model they normally produce another batch. I will also be able to read the reviews before ordering one. I expect both the Hornby and Oxfordrail models will be high quality models but there may be problems with haulage capacity and derailments. Provided that they both get good reviews I will buy one of each. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted November 17, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 17, 2015 Glad it's the end of January rather than before Christmas, I've been giving my reserves quite a caning ever since the 700s arrived.

Robin Brasher Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 You probably will not need to buy the Hornby Adams Radial as soon as it comes out. With the Oxfordrail model coming out as well there will be more Adams Radial Tanks on the market than there is a demand for them and prices are likely to fall as the year progresses. This is what has happened with the Bachmann E4s and the price has now gone down to almost the level before the Hattons pre-ordering saga. Based on Hornby's track record I would be surprised if their Adams Radial comes out on 28th January 2016.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Hornby's track record I would be surprised if their Adams Radial comes out on 28th January 2016.. But, alas, the relevant clause of Murphy's Law states that the ones that hang around long enough to be discounted will not be the ones I want. I did note E4s being knocked out for under 70 quid about a fortnight ago. I don't know how many were available but they disappeared in a couple of days at that price. Unfortunately, that was academic for me 'cos I didn't want any of them.......... As for projected release dates, I never believe those until the third time they get amended and they haven't yet given a date for the version I want anyway.
