  1. I've got some lovely Welsh layouts coming up in the mag next year.
  2. That all seems to have settled down again but there is a 'Maintenance in Progress' banner at the top which we can't shake off at the moment.
  3. We have got some page loading issues at the moment. We are aware and working on it.
  4. It's obvious that he did, all the statements can be verified. So if you're not questioning them what was the point of your dig?
  5. Yeah, Phil has gone all European and niche on us this weekend. We'd love to feature more but much of the content is why fits with the BRM name and/or what is su.bmittd for inclusion. Given a higher company credit card limit Phil would have been off to New York or the weekend to host the show from Botanical Gardens - https://www.nybg.org/event/holiday-train-show-2021/
  6. The other content will appear in the timeline as the weekend progresses, just keep dipping back into it.
  7. It's something we have asked before at press days and we were looked at as if we were bonkers. Maybe so when we suggested a 1/43rd scale Deltic with interior details.
  8. Join the dots... https://theisleofthanetnews.com/2017/04/10/the-buyer-of-the-hornby-factory-site-in-margate-has-been-revealed/ https://www.kentlive.news/news/kent-news/hornby-made-wrong-decision-leave-2562272 To concur with ADB the last part of Phil's para is covered in parts of the TV prog and our virtual show this weekend. All facts so I'm not sure why you're trying to question it.
  9. Just head for world-of-railways.co.uk tomorrow plus there'll be a link on each page here too.
  10. Wishing you and the team all the best. Sorry we couldn't be there this weekend but we've got a bit on.
  11. But don't half make an irritating noise. Anyway... There's 18 hours of video in the show over the weekend.
  12. Lizard people, a bus on the moon and Freddie Starr ate my hamster. Prices rose because a shortage of containers (as they were in places where they wouldn't normally be) and ships spending longer on the water, falling behind their schedules and the whole industry running round in circles trying to make it all work.
  13. I think you need to look at a bigger picture. This topic is about a business's P&L. The same model produced in 2020 will cost more to make than the one in 2000. Fact. Are they overpriced? Seeing as the manufacturer barely makes a profit then the answer is no considering their current supply chain and structure. Are they too dear for you? That's a different question which only you can answer. Will they be any cheaper when they next get made in China? No. Would they be any cheaper made on the doorstep? Absolutely not. So, apart from paying less (because that suits your pocket) what do you want? Manufacturers to make a loss, make people redundant and eventually disappear? Just because you don't want to pay the price doesn't mean it's too dear. I am so, so bored with the rubbish that gets spouted on this subject.
  14. That shoves my theory back a bit as I use that, 3 and O2's network and haven't been able to replicate it.
  15. It's easy to see if you watch the episode.
  16. Both asked how it copes with the transition, not the incline itself but it does not sound like you have the scenario to test that. The product was designed to cope with what it is likely to encounter in the real world; and that's from the horse's mouth. You have been criticising something which was designed to be fit for purpose and not just an attractive ornament.
  17. Thanks Dave, I'll be interested to see if a picture forms from others. Or more fog.
  18. That's rather pretty for a NE loco. and then they stuck a verandah on the back.
  19. Whoopee do for you. An irrelevant post that adds absolutely nothing to the topic about an 88DS. Wind it in please.
  20. That's the right choice for that layout (nice scene!) I'd say rather than some improbable locos. I know it'll be a wait but I reckon "this time next year you'll feel like a millionaire halsey"* as they really are quite superb having had a play with the EPs. *to misquote Delboy.
  21. First question; why do you need to? I just did it out of curiosity. Have a look at that instruction leaflet; the clues will be in there.
  22. Day 1 is to win a complete Playtrains set - I'm assuming @Phil Parker has put his name down for that. Meanwhile I've gone for the Airfix comp - MUCH more appealing!
