RoS already offer a weathering and/or DCC fitting service as optional extras. Presumably this will also apply to Hornby items. Could be interesting for some people. I have aaöso seen some models where they offer to fit the sound module - when they are available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hodgson Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Discounts seem to be lmited to about 10% now though, less than on Dapol, so presumably they are on less favourable terms than before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Decorum Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Is 10% not the standard discount Hornby allows when a product is launched? Bachmann allows 15% for the first eight weeks. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium E100 Posted October 5, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 5, 2023 Really glad about this. This is the sort of competition that might actually benefit customers in the long run unlike unfortunate duplications of niche items. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case the lengthly business communications would have been during the time that very individual would have been in control. Very likely to have been the cause in the light that he would have negotiated what seemed to be the best deal for the future of the business and to what he accepted to be a reasonable pay-off.

RMweb Gold sjp23480 Posted January 8 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8 Or did they get a tip off from Hattons that they were considering their long term future and there could be an opportunity? Oh the joys of idle speculation. 🙂 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
