Did Alan Hansen say something about Manchester United not winning anything with Moyes boys.

Reference to new painted numerals on the owning group's blog pages - worth a visit with plenty of photographs and news.

Bank of England had an office in Broad Street, it does appear to have had facilities for storing gold bullion.

Does that mean my 12-spoke version will become a rare collector's item, please?

You could always watch the bids come in on Ebay for it.

NRM imply it is at Bressingham.

Dukedog with that non GWR tender.

2.50 on clip from Adolf Hitler, My Part in His Downfall - good sequence at the end of the engine moving at speed. 

I nearly took some photos of the frontage of the Goods Warehouse. I think that the MEN has been collecting photos of tonight's sunset. 

The right hand shot was taken on the way up to the Metro stop. But I thought you might like the views. I always enjoy reading this thread.

In the vicinity of the viaduct give or take a few yards.

All gone = good cash flow, nothing tied up in stocks. 

It may also imply that the price was too low.

However, another batch may sell well. I was very tempted to buy one - but not at Ebay prices.

The Ebay reselling price might appear to be excessive, it does beg the question should Locomotion use an auction pricing model for their commissions?

I've never seen anything like it...

....and of course the logical consequence of this is that new models will only be produced by subscription on a special commission only basis i.e.-money up front first and production only if an agreed minimum number has been reached

If you think about it,we have been moving in this direction for some time.I think there is some merit in this idea,provided reliable sources of manufacturing can be found for such work.There's the nub.

Until Hornby sort out their production issues, commissioning anything from them is going to be problematic - no models from their range of A4s for sale at The NRM to concide with a major exhibition. A lack of transparency over the specifications of models of The Star - why put money up front, if the product has so many retrograde features in the mechanism, chassis & mouldings. 

Have been surprised by similarities in stories carried by several newspapers, particularly when compared with the original press release, they are not quite word for word, but Private Eye's Philip Space and Polly Filla are alive and well in The Street of Shame.

Was wondering if she was an English graduate, with little or no idea of engineering, or project management. The comments were fun to read...

Is there a special limited edition printed on perforated, soft, absorbent, pastel coloured rolls?

It is always a pleasure to read about this project. 

Getting it right first time, always helps. The niggling errors now matter how few, still add to costs if Hornby do decide to rectify them. Then there is the unknown damage to the brand. Pre-ordering short runs is all very well, if the specification is clearly communicated, otherwise it is akin to buying a pig in a poke. 

Hey just think in 50 days time we can all be moaning about how bad Hornby's 2014 model's are going to be

Perhaps there should be an RM clunker of the year award. 

When Steam announced that they were offering a model of Lode Star, what was said about the specification of the model at the time, in terms of detail?

3 Dukedogs on display at the NRM.

Compare it with the front of the Star, the P2 has a moulded smoke box dart, handrail, and whistle which spoil the looks, How far Hornby might have considered a separate smokebox with unmoulded details is a moot point, but in my humble opinion they have missed the opportunity to produce an outstanding model. 

This was on an email link this evening.

Apologies if posted elsewhere.

If only it had a moulded smokebox dart...

It ought to sell very quickly, if it runs as well as it looks.

I don't suppose that Goering had a model of a Wagon Lits Carriage like this one in his collection.

Though I gather than Hitler did add it to his 1:1 railway.
