  1. The DVD should play in your BluRay DVD player attached to your TV (assuming that you have one, and that Mrs Stationmaster isn't watching Corrie)
  2. The ones that Kathy Millatt used here looked pretty good. Not used them myself yet though.
  3. While in the UK for NY, I picked up BRM, RM, and MR, but MRJ was not to be seen. Looking at the current issue, I've just ordered a copy from Newsstand. I'll see if it could be a longer-term subscription.
  4. He should stick to making pickle.
  5. So no coloured detailing in the cab then? Pity.
  6. Not sure that I understand the lack of love for the Rails website. Seems good enough to me.
  7. Curious to know what the 9F Evening Star will have over the previous Bachmann iteration.
  8. Just received notice from Hattons that my 39-611 has been processed. So I guess that means packed ready for shipping. Edit: second email to say it's packed. So my guess was incorrect, but close enough.
  9. And a rake of factory-weathered wagons will all look the same, I guess, which is hardly prototypic.
  10. According to the Durham Trains product page: Does that help?
  11. Actually, we all put up with that awful racket. He was the [ahem] individual who foisted it on us....and then profited from it. So [sAW] him.
  12. Makes me wish I modelled LNER. Now, if they produced that W1, I could be tempted!
  13. Pssst, if it is, it's well hidden because my http://www.Bachmann.co.uk bookmark goes to a temporary, and rather boring page. And has done for a couple of weeks.
  14. All of which leaves me wondering if I should just order another set and renumber them. I had thought that Bachmann might do a Hornby, and crank out another set of different numbered coaches. But, at this rate, a certain warm place 'down below' (and I'm not referring to the Antipodes) might have formed an icy crust by then.
  15. The yoof of today have another word for it..."whenevah". (And, yes, I'm also awaiting mine! )
  16. IMO there were several problems with their old site, not least in that it looked old-fashioned (scrolling in a frame, anyone?). But, I agree with above comments that the old site should have been kept in place until the new one was properly up and running. Doubt that it would have lost them any (meaningful) sales though.
  17. While the two tier proposal is logical from a customer’s perspective, I suspect that it’s a lot more complicated, and less desirable, from the producers’, sockists’, and retailers’ perspectives.
  18. the job of a rep is inherently different to that of an engineer in terms of location and office placement. And while many people do work remotely, thanks in no small part to IT/internet, the position in question may need constant close working with others at a single location. Only Bachmann know the full requirements, everyone else is just blowing in out their ****.
  19. As log as they don't have to account for boring things, like fixed and variable overheads.
  20. I had a mamod (Google "manmod" and you get some 'interesting' results! ) as a kid. Could be fickle, as you say, but great fun when it worked.
  21. Could this be adapted Would you be interested in adapting this to a Maunsell 350hp?
  22. Strictly speaking, 855 isn't in their range, but other class locos are. I agree that the carriages on that cover are definitely interesting. Definitely worth dreaming! (And while a LN could lead this, a suitable double-header would add interest).
