RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted October 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 27, 2019 Well that means we haven’t had an engine shed at all in October. The last was 27/9, and the next is obviously going to be 1/11. So much for a monthly blog! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s such a tepid reflection of what it used to be. it reminds me of MREmag: it used to be one of my first reads each morning, then the frequency dropped and I had to think about whether or not I should access it, then the frequency dropped again, then it changed into something else, went on hiatus... When someone mentioned it the other day I had completely forgotten it even existed. I suspect the Engine Shed is, for me, going through the same death process.

Paul It's now a approx bi-monthly electronic mag type edition and IMHO has improved somewhat from an all time low a couple of years ago. October's is 168 pages.

autocoach Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Not at all impressed with this edition of the Engine Shed. Looks to be written by some numpty in the marketing department just touting some rather ordinary new releases of existing models. Either that or Hornby just has nothing new to wow the punters with. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a trait of TTS because it's meant to be a cheaper alternative to the main DCC sound brands. It's more suited to diesel really from listening to YouTube videos. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really expect every monthly addition to have something to WOW the thousands of us? It's a platform to share updates on various models announced at the beginning of the year. That's exactly what they're doing. Maybe they're not throwing in a few clues etc. anymore...but that doesn't take away the purpose for TES which is to share monthly updates at Hornby HQ. IMO the clues for forthcoming products, was interesting, but all it did was take away the extra excitement we normally looked forward to before they made their annual annual announcement. Because we knew what was coming, it was never as exciting anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted above, TTS is a "budget" sound chip and the lack of synchronisation is a topic that has been well gone over since the first steam TTS locos were issued. In the trainset marketplace its not a dealbreaker so there is no reason for Hornby to do anything about it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only that were true. My only proviso is that any new P2 would need a new chassis without the “Design Clever” features and a decent motor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
