I reckon there will be an Easter egg in the show like they find the old APT moulds

I think we should start up a petition to have Horrocksford included.

There should be a range of Skaledale buildings under this label

Just had an email from Hornby Hobbies advertising the programme, they must be fairly pleased with the result!

Yes Dr Brian May.

They're similar in so many ways, both have grey straggly hair, both have connections with music, both are called May....

I've seen this program at preview and reading back through this thread has given much amusement. In view of Andy's plan I will make no comment until after the new thread opens.

Has anyone noticed that 'the Joy of Train Sets' follows this programme? I became a TV star when I was wearing a pink shirt during the filming at Broadstone Methodist Church Hall on a hot day.

Going to be interesting to see how many children will be in the program. Will give a clue who Hornby are really aim there trains at. For Hornby to be successful in the future they need to attract children to get into the hobby.

 

only 2 hours to go.....

ALL children are either cut out or redacted unless parental permission is obtained to use their image. Although the reason the program gives is different.

We do have a plan. We'll be shutting this topic off before the show and providing a link to a new topic which will open up after the show therefore limiting the opportunity of anyone who's watched 5 minutes to trash it all for their own personal gratification. Any punks trying to swerve that will be dealt with. Hopefully we then save some people from their uncontrollable self-harming.

 

Fair comment will be permitted after the show's aired.
