cctransuk Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yes; he's certainly a bitter soul isn't he? That's as maybe - but I doubt that there'd be a long queue to take on Adrian's health issues !! A little compassion and cutting some tolerant slack wouldn't go amiss . Can any of us be certain that such circumstances wouldn't have the same effect on us ? Regards, John Isherwood.

Marvin Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 That's as maybe - but I doubt that there'd be a long queue to take on Adrian's health issues !! Having lost too many close family members and friends to cancer I am not wishing ill on anyone but it's no excuse for being consistently rude, spiteful and damaging to people over several years. He may have knowledge but it's of little use to anyone if he just alienates anyone who may benefit from his support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted July 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2018 Why we have to name the individual concerned rather defeats me.We are all too aware of his reputation and past demeanours and for goodness sake his health issues are an entirely private matter .I speak as can doubtless many others of experiencing a recent "journey" through my own wife's episode with breast cancer and all that it entails.One thing I discovered is that the chemo lounge and radiology generate both compassion....and optimism.At no point did I witness anything but hope and optimism in those under treatment.

Heritage Tim Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 This is a place to discuss model trains, and I'm sure for many of us a sanctuary from 'real life' problems, let's keep it that way. On topic, from all I have seen of this model, it could well be one of the best RTR OO gauge models of all time. I can hardly wait for mine (later version) to arrive. I really hope that Rapido are here in the British market to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic and end of. If members insist on posting references to postings on another group, by a person banned from this group, and hint (extremely unsubtly) at his identity, I reserve the right to refer to circumstances which might explain his attitude. I am pleased to hear that your experience of this vile disease has been of optimism - let us hope that the rest of us could summon up the same positive view of life if so afflicted. I am by no means convinced that I would be able to rise above things in the same way. There but for the grace of God go I. Regards, John Isherwood.

RMweb Gold 81C Posted July 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2018 Oh dear I see the lace gloves are off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2750Papyrus Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 My model arrive his morning, and very nice it is too. If the hints from Locomotion result in further models of this standard from Rapido (GN/ECJS clerestories?) I should be very happy...… and poorer. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37081LochLong Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Mine arrived early this morning and I think it's great and my disabled 86 year old dad loves it. Thanks to Rails and Rapido for producing this model. It's the most I've ever spent on a single OO gauge coach and I will probably never do so again but I'm very happy with mine. If I had one criticism (and it's a very minor one) that would be, for an expensive special edition model, the outer box feels like a flimsy budget range affair and I was hoping for something more sturdy. Saying that though, who looks at the box when the contents are far more interesting Do I have a use for the coach? Nope, I model BR Blue from the late 70's to mid 80's, do I regret paying so much for a single coach? Not one bit. It's a fantastic little model. Again thank to Rails and Rapido. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium it's-er Posted July 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2018 No photos of one in action yet ? I suspect we are waiting for more photos of the model, please! I rather expected a rush of such photos, given it is such an iconic coach and clearly a wonderful model. John Storey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Turpin Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 It's details like the frosted images on the glass to the clerestory panels that make this light years ahead of models that came before IMHO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daltonparva Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Not mine but a nice video of it Besides arguing about whether it should be lined or not, you can all start debating about the name of it. According to the chap who posted the video it's called a Diameter Car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted July 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2018 With all the spelling mistakes and errors that was very painful video to watch. A shame because the coach looked fantastic in that light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamie.dunn Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Rang up and paid off the remainder for version 2 the other day, while I still had the money as the end of the month is when my bank account goes crazy. Looking forward to the coach arriving ( I know it may take a little long) and looking on here she's going to be well worth the money and waiting time . With this and the single due any second I better get on with my layout :/ ... Edited July 25, 2018 by jamie.dunn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
