I'm surprised the motor worked at all. Gold rot? 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SHMD Posted January 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2023 I wonder if the problem, (with the first episode), was that H only had the FS "rights" to produce models and NOT to show FS in the media? Kev. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Phil Parker Posted January 12, 2023 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2023 If you enjoy Port Dinorwic on the telly, get ready for the Spring 2023 issue of BRM, where we have an exclusive, full layout feature. On Sale 23rd Feb (Next issue, March, is 26th Jan so you have a few weeks to wait. But it's worth it.) 18 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I enjoyed Port Dinorwic, and even "Fix the Rocket". The rest of the NRM inspired stuff just made me gag. It even took over what might have been interesting about TT:120. And thanks to the magic of televison, the TT:120 timeframe was curiously skewed... Hey ho. Now they've got that out of their system, perhaps things will be a little more balanced. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Probably more likely a simple 'broadcast' issue, such as the wrong switch operated & showing the incorrect program. I've been in the control at Emley Moor when that happened. Wrong local news broadcast to a given area on ITV. (We often see that happen at home). I don't know whether Yesterday goes through there, possibly not, but there will be a control room somewhere (or the tech in his Transit didn't make it up to the satellite in time!). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arun Sharma Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hmm... I wonder. I would normally watch Yesterday on Sky. The Sky box would normally allow me to record a [one-off] programme that was being broadcast no more than 167hours ahead as that is the maximum length of time that the in-box timetable allows. Last week, the Yesterday channel was not displaying any programmes further than 72 hours in advance. Thus I couldn't set the box to record the Hornby programme any earlier than Saturday evening. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funniest example of that I ever remember was when I lived in Abu Dhabi. Back in about 1992 / 93, we only had a few TV stations available via terrestrial TV, one of which was a French cable channel rebroadcast locally. I came home from work one afternoon and was doing a quick flick through the channels when I came across some unexpected explicit 'adult' content on the French channel. It was broadcast for about 45 minutes before someone from the local TV company noticed and pulled the pin! What was funniest was the number of calls I got in that short time from my mates telling me to "switch over to the French station - NOW!!". 🤣 Oh-la-la! Rumour has it a disgruntled employee at the French station was responsible... needless to say, the French channels license was revoked quick-smart! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t seem to see any unannounced locos or products from the 2023 range. I doubt you'd spot them as the offending bits would probably have been removed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He annoys me. So do Jools Holland and Chris Packham. His LinkedIn page suggests he started at Hornby in 1978, and, apart from a four-year break as a consultant (who worked for Hornby for a bit) he's been working there ever since. Not a very interesting story (for me, anyway). ADD: I looked him up on the British Newspaper Archive, and the only mention I could find was about him winning a prize in a fancy dress parade in Louth in 1959.

DY444 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 May or may not be accurate but I've seen a report, supposedly from a Hornby employee, that the original edit included an individual who passed away very recently and it was decided at the last minute to edit that part out. As I say might be total nonsense. 2 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 2mmMark Posted January 13, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 13, 2023 I know that Yesterday look at what else is scheduled on other channels before deciding when to transmit a brand new show. That was the case with "Secrets Of The Transport Museum" which for Series 1, Episode 1 was 4th in the TV ratings for that day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted January 13, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) I watched it on the app . Quite enjoyable . Obviously staged though , like the bit where SK says he's going for TT . No one says "are you mad "or "its a huge risk" its just ooooh we never thought of that , how brilliant of you to come up with that idea Simon. Maybe I could be the script writer? The second episode (at least I assume its the second episode - top 10 models?) followed . I'll not spoil it for anyone For serious Tri-ang , Tri-ang Hornby, Hornby enthusiasts, I do recommend removing anything sharp or throwable . The picture of model Clan Line going round on turntable with its tender the wrong way around reminded me of being back in Modelzone in WH Smith days when an assistant with no idea about trains laid out the display! Surely Hornby have some control and could have suggested modifying that. I know its for general public consumption , but there will also be a fair few enthusiasts watching . Just suggests a degree of amateurism Very interesting part on Minic Motorways with Jools Holland and the explanation of the name Scalextric. Its interesting how Rovex and Tri-ang seem to be airbrushed out . All references are to Hornby even though Tri-ang models are featured. Just think its a shame they are being a bit selective in history (being a Tri-ang kid!) Edited January 13, 2023 by Legend 3 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might of course be down to the awkward fact that if they mention other 'amalgamated' brands people might wonder why that happened and then do a bit of delving only to discover that Hornby, including Hornby Dublo, went bust and someone else bought up the remains. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
