    Downton Abbey ended its last series at Christmas 2015, most episodes screened after 9.00 pm. Hornby bring out a junior train set for Christmas 2016 with a Downton Abbey locomotive. It reminds me of that fiasco The Great Gathering at the NRM, with Hornby sponsorship but no model A4s for sale. Might make a good case study for a university on the consequences of poor market research.

    I always remember looking out for the geese at the Ballantynes' warehouses. Was surprised they retired the flock, great marketing for the place.

    I've always liked Glengoyne, and like Jamie92208 I can recommend their distillery tour. It does make a change from the Islay malts.

    A week ago, I saw a goldcrest in the front garden for the first time. Stood and watched it feeding on the shrubs. Haven't seen any fieldfares or redwings.

    Absolutely fabulous modelling. Always enjoy reading about Ron Hegg's project.

    It appears to have quite a large gap between the tender & first wagon. What sort of coupling does the 9F have. Liked your video, seems to run well.

    Preparatory work in Bath at Sydney Gardens on drains, with some sound proofing on railings above the parapets. Trackbed work starts on Monday. A couple of shots of the test train and the site. https://www.flickr.com/photos/16582147@ ... 7134518659

    I looked at this thread a few minutes ago, which reminded me about reading about C o T to Bird Conversions in The Airfix Magazine. A subsequent internet search took me back to another RM thread which mentioned a series of articles from 1967-8. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/69535-great-british-locomotives/page-45

    It is absolutely wonderful piece of architectural modelling, always inspirational.

    I remember seeing large numbers of withdrawn locomotives in or near Glasgow, but I've real idea where it was.

    From Hornby's website: GWR 4-6-0 ‘Caerphilly Castle’ 4073 Class - NRM - R3237 http://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/locomotives/steam-locomotives/gwr-4-6-0-caerphilly-castle-castle-class-nrm.html The 360 view might help.

    Hornby @Hornby · 8m8 minutes ago Ladies and Gents, who's for an early announcement? More details here! Twitter & Facebook - no link to site working yet.

    Just had an email saying Hornby are to release an unrebuilt MN. OK, we feel we teased you enough yesterday. So without further ado, we are proud to announce, for 2016 the Unrebuilt Merchant Navy! More information here: http://www.Hornby.com/news

    Produce and be damned...to misquote the Iron Duke. Duplication is a business risk, but are they aiming at the same segment of the market? Let modellers decide which one is the one they want to buy. It is possible that Hornby can design a great model, but can they supply the customers with them at the right quantity, at the right time at the right price. Their recent record has been disappointing both in the reliability of assembly and the continuity of supply.
