You're not even making sense now, you're contradicting yourself in one sentence.

I very much doubt it and I don't understand why you think they would. They would be straight on the phone to WB and say "We thought we had an exclusive licence etc, etc'. And rightly so. So you've killed off your own viewpoint made earlier in the topic and can hopefully understand this issue, even if you have partisan inclinations.

So this is your new identity after loads of scattergun questions a few weeks ago. A quick Google will give information.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it - as the saying goes.

They're extremely competent and have a good reputation. Check their website for pricing.

I had to archive off the server some of the images from that period to avoid a drive space issue prior to Christmas. I will get them reinstated but they take a long time to do and I've been a bit busy since new year. The action needs to be from this end.

I believe so - https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/information/the-festival-of-british-railway-modelling-getting-there

That's computer artwork, not a model.

As we were finalising the magazine at the end of last week only a passing reference was made rather than risk the chance that something changed between then and distribution of the mag.

Yes. The realities of the modern world.

Magnet insurance do specific model railway insurance policies and I've used them for several types of policy and are recommended.

That's great to hear, many inheritances just end up being discarded. Well done!

Maybe there are hurdles even before that stage as I've had several Tier 1 retailers telling me that they've had their allocated stock quantities and the value next to TT is 0 so, at present, it seems they can't even order it which puts them in a difficult position with prospective customers. Meanwhile I see a retailer where several instances have been reported on here that money was taken but no goods received who can't be anything above a Tier 3 is advertising it for sale. Some mug will order it.

It doesn't show by searching on the terms you used like it did on Monday.

I asked at the press briefing if it was legitimate to do this as it was public knowledge that Rapido Trains had been given an exclusive licence by Studio Canal to produce and market ‘The Titfield Thunderbolt’, he responded by saying “Well, the point is it’s a touch of semantics, it’s not so much as ‘Exclusive’ but what we have produced is what we call ‘Inspired by’. We are not promoting the film ‘The Titfield Thunderbolt’, we’re not using any of their assets as in packaging and all the rest of it. So, the loco exists, the rolling stock exists and, as I say, the key there is that the packs are inspired by the trains that you see on film.” Simon continued, “I think the key thing is, you know, we’re not using any of the branding from the film and that’s the thing; we are producing a model of items that exist”. Simon was asked if there were likely to be any legal issues in this regard; he responded “No, I doubt that very much. You know, you can start going into registration marks and all the rest of it and what class it is in, remember we are producing Class 28 which is classed as toys”.

Locomotionmodels have emailed their subscribers that a new website is launching later this week with increased clarity, imagery and information. The website will still have the same url - http://www.locomotionmodels.com/ Newsletter signup for updates and latest information - http://www.locomotionmodels.com/newsletter-signup.htm

I doubt it, MoY caused an unnecessary sideshow. He's now complained about hostile treatment after barging in.

Volume.

Apologies, dropped them in the wrong place. Will amend tomorrow.

That sounds like you should just click on the Ignore Topic rather than backseat moderating.

I'd say it's one wagon (with different artwork on each side). Kernow's listing would seem to bear that out - https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/74437/R60176-Hornby-Drax-Biomass-Wagon-number-83-70-0698-012-7 - many things are often unclear in the initial presentation information.

Funny that; someone just sent me this:

It's where all the sh** should have gone.

Trademarks are a separate issue from copyright; back to the armchair.
