RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 31, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 31, 2018 With all due respect trevor7598, if you did have a thorough read through of the two most recent blogs from Hornby they clearly stated that they'll be focusing on one specific newly announced item in future editions i.e. each model will have an entire blog dedicated to it. With no teasers etc in the background to whip up interest or drop hints - oops. Back to their bad old-fashioned ideas of promotion and marketing. And no doubt it will impact eventually on the interest people take in The engine Shed - it used to be a bit of fun, some guesswork, playing around trying to 'freeze' video frames and so on, In future if it's fdown to a 'one item' issue every time with nothing else the novelty and interest might wane and only the folk interested in this month's 'promoted content' will bother to look at it. How to ruin a well developed and clever marketing and promotional tool in one easy lesson. But not to worry there's plenty of things to look at elsewhere with other people dropping in new announcements by drip feeding and thus forever creating new interest in a market that looks for novelty in the shape of new production. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted January 31, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2018 I think its ok to major on one item in the blog but not to the exclusion of all else . To do so would be very one dimensional thinking. As you said in an earlier post , Mike, I did take heart reading between the lines of the last blog where reference was made to teasers etc . You never know in the next blog if it majors on say the new restaurant car there might just be a trace of a caley tender in the background.......................I wish! It would have been interesting to know in a recent interview just exactly what Simon Kohler is consulting on and what his role is. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGR Hooper! Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 With no teasers etc in the background to whip up interest or drop hints - oops.. It's only the last day in January. Expecting hints in every edition is a little far fetched. It may have happened earlier with the teasers for the MN, however lets keep it different. They promised us some exciting content. It's a platform to share information about current products. Not only for teasers, I think including teasers has done nothing but up peoples expectations to some very unreasonable levels.

If they focus on one specific item the're's no reason there shouldn't be an occasional teaser in the video background ............. as there so often used to be - out of focus ....... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Nope a 3D printed J36 prototype with a snow plough. Also promise of some painted samples of something (my guess The Lord Nellies). Edited February 15, 2018 by JSpencer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

County of Yorkshire Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) Erm... "We also recently received all six of the BR 63’ Hawksworth carriages. While perhaps not stealing the headlines like the J36 and Lord Nelson, these models have been reintroduced after a break in the range, which we hope is good news for many of you. It’s also the first time they’ve appeared in Crimson and Cream, which was reason enough to show them off to you here in The Engine Shed." That's not correct though - is it?

Ozexpatriate Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I think it's time to let this go. A mistake was made and to the publisher's credit was corrected. No harm, no foul. Let's move on. Uncorrected mistakes are a different thing entirely. There is certainly a lot of information in this edition of The Engine Shed regarding three different products. That is a good thing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it must be remembered that these musings are posted in the spirit of good natured banter and should be accepted as such.No harm was intended,I am sure.Continuing on the theme of bells now ringing out on the Bachmann thread Cass 66 Evening Star ,this was a clanger well and truly dropped.
