There is a small box marked 'Feedback' on the top right of the page where you can give an opinion on the new layout. I indicated that I was not satisfied and would prefer the old layout. Ah, I didn't see the feedback thing. Can't say I like the new photo-zoom thing much. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There certainly will be no reversion to the old design. There might be a few tweaks to keep the unhappy subdued.... I've just been invited to join their focus group thingy which looks like an exclusive club to moan at them away from the normal forums. Anyone else in this because they're doing it wrong if they want me on the team😂 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ignored it as they don't take any notice of blatant fraud listings that get reported so this looked like even more of a waste of time. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was scam because I've never heard of it and even a search on Google only brought up one thread about it from 2018. So far I've done one survey but I'm thinking of starting an eBay madness thread on the forum😉 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packed up a bit too high at the front and the whole lot slopes down towards the cab. Would make a nice 3 rail conversion for me if the decimal point could be shifted a bit, Being a Dublo lad I always think a loco looks ''naked '' without a cab full of motor😉 Regards, Rich 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
