    If you find yourself in the USA - don't ever do that...

    Unless you are prepared to suffer the consequences..

    Tailgaters can have severe mental problems and are quite likely armed..

    Which is one reason why I never intend to visit that particular republic. :triniti:

    Bachmann Class 47

    That is good news, as long as Bachmann ensures that the etched plate fits completely over the top of the printed nameplate. I've had a couple of locos where it doesn't - e.g. Class 43 842 Royal Oak - and it's a pain having to remove it.

    Saltburn-by-the-Sea looks like it might have that problem as well.

    Does anyone know if there are any model railway shows - or club open days - in the Newport area in the next few months?

    Think there's an O gauge thing called NEWGOG in Newport 16th April. A friend from the Midlands has suggesting meeting there. Haven't checked details yet.

    I've got seven Heljan diesels; they're all good reliable, powerful and quiet locos.

    Agree, I've got approaching 30 Heljan diesels. Apart from the well documented, now ancient, Clayton chassis replacement issues (which was swiftly replaced by the supplier), the rest are prodigious haulers, smooth, quiet, from very slow to fast. Even the 05 shunter will pull approaching 40 wagons.

    Hornby's financial updates to the Stock Market

    Just think of all the class 60 liveries there have been, Hornby could have cashed in on this opportunity , a boxed set of BS blue 60006/60033 or in Corus silver, then make a HTV coal hopper in bauxite , they've done a tope wagon which is just a cut down version , would have a best seller in my opinion, not churn out this same old grey ones! What about the new coke wagons, two versions only ?, why not do the third version ? All steel sides/ ends again surely would sell well. There's opportunitys to make money here by making what the modeller wants not what you think they want ! There is a vast difference and that shows today with the possibility of the company failing

    Don't think there's £9 million of business in that lot though...unless you know some VERY keen Class 60 fans......there's something very wrong elsewhere.
