  1. To be fair I was cornered in that position. No, it was a pleasure to chat and you did get to see Giles' wonderful Austin 7 in action, that was my 'wow' moment for this year's show. Thank you for the badge, it will be out at P'boro!
  2. I can't tell you; no-one can at present but I'm sure when there's material to evidence such it will appear here - just saying before gwr-fan decides it doesn't run slowly because he hasn't seen it run slowly yet.
  3. Keith has kindly sent over a quick video to me that was done by the factory before it was posted over.
  4. I've already said we didn't have chance to get back and see if it was shown running. I'm losing the will to assist today.
  5. You will, the video was done before the running sample ran.
  6. I am guessing that you have never had the joyful experience of running a trade stand for a full weekend under the constant bombardment of people asking questions and wanting to order items. Some people in here need to adjust their demands and expectations rather than casting aspersions from a (long) distance. I'm sure you'll get chance to see evidence in due course. I'll be putting out an interview with KR in due course. That'll be for a general audience rather just for your personal entertainment to then pick holes in. I had an honest chat with Keith and at times I've doubted how things may turn out but I'm happy with the evidence of development I've seen so far. More important than putting his money where his mouth is he has shown evidence that he's put others money where his mouth is which in light of other debacles is the main thing - once again, evidence of development and in a respectably short time period.
  7. We didn't unfortunately as we got waylaid with other stuff which we needed to do on Saturday.
  8. It doesn't matter if you know that the bike bus will end up at the same point as the Warley bus, buy the appropriate ticket and follow the appropriate signs. This year, when I arrived on Sat morning, both shows were directed to East 1 but it can be different.
  9. Plan ahead a little further ahead and look at the pre-booked online parking for each event. Saved £6.
  10. If you take the time to read at least back to page 13 of this topic you will find the relevant information.
  11. As a caring sort I did break the news gently to him and offered counselling if he's in need of someone to talk to. We are all with him at this difficult and confusing time.
  12. The 3D print loco will be on show but check the cab interior out!
  13. I'm impressed with what we saw this afternoon. We should have opportunity to see it on a rolling road, and maybe hear it tomorrow.
  14. I had a chat with SK about this today. He is aware of the issue and investigating remedies at the mo.
  15. There are several announcements, probably public from about 9.30. With full information.
  16. I see you're going to Guildford rather than Camborne to save time.
  17. Neither am I, especially considering my next point. There is an irony that the OP sells products, which are not available in retail outlets, via an online service.
  18. NEW 94XX ANNOUNCED AT WARLEY Image courtesy Bachmann Europe Plc Locomotion Models announced at the Warley National Model Railway Exhibition today (23rd November 2019) that they have commissioned a OO Scale model of Great Western Railway 94XX Class 0-6-0T No. 9400 from Bachmann Europe Plc. The popular ‘94XX’ Class 0-6-0 pannier tank was effectively the last GWR designed steam locomotive; the first ten were turned out in the company’s Middle Chrome Green by Swindon before nationalisation. The remaining 200 were built for British Railways and were delivered in unlined black livery by outside contractors Robert Stephenson, Yorkshire Engine Co. and W.G Bagnall between 1949 and 1956, with minor detail differences. All were capable of steam heating coaching stock. They were a development of the numerous ‘57XX/ 8750’ Class, designed for secondary mixed traffic and shunting duties, with an instruction from the GWR’s General Manager, Sir James Milne, that they should be of more modern appearance than the traditional GW pannier tank. Withdrawals began in 1959 with the final survivor remaining in traffic into 1965, and as a result only a limited number of the class received the BR late crest. No. 9400 was delivered in February 1947 along with No. 9401. No. 9400 was initially allocated to Swindon shed but soon found itself in the London area working empty coaching stock between Old Oak Common and London Paddington. After a short working life of just 12 years, No. 9400 was withdrawn from Old Oak Common depot on 31st December 1959 for preservation. No. 9400 is part of the National Collection and is currently on loan to STEAM Museum, Swindon. A second locomotive No. 9466 was privately preserved and is now based at the West Somerset Railway. The model has reached the livery stage and delivery is expected in Quarter 3, 2020. The model is DCC READY and is fitted with a NEXT 18 Decoder socket. No. 9400 can be pre-ordered for £30 (expected price is estimated at £129.95) through the Locomotion Models website at www.locomotionmodels.com
  19. Probably because you've pointed it to the local files on your PC rather than uploading them to our server. Use the Choose Files link below the text entry box and that starts the uploading processes.

  21. I can recommend treesize https://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/ for seeing what's being used where and getting rid of it. Used it on a couple of systems recently that Windows seemed incapable of clearing out.
  22. I haven't had any volunteers from the office for the proposed foot massage service, our purchase-Sherpa has gone missing saying he'd prefer the Himalayas which just leaves a cheery wave on the menu.
