    I would say buy now as with all things (with no reflection on accurascale at all) I suspect these will be more expensive come the second run so buy now and save money. This explains my order for Ballymoss this morning anyway!

    Spoke with Henry at the collectors club today and he said the class 66 packs are due in April.

    Thanks definitely a bargain was going to sign up sometime ago but my old iPad didn’t show the magazines. Just spent the last hour flicking through BRM back issues. Happy days! cheers mark

    Dipped in and out of the content today ,thought Ben came across very well on the Heljan interview as a representative keen to do a good job trying to keep us modellers happy which is a job in itself! Some of the class 47 tooling conundrums gave me a better insight into what the manufacturers are faced with. Must be hard trying to get new content especially of model railways if they can only set up at a show for example. Well done to all involved. Looking forward to dipping in tomorrow too! cheers mark

    Just signed up but it was a £24.99 by direct debit not £30 quid(was that by debit card or something)? Not that I am complaining though! mark

    As you type this from your private island surrounded by beautiful women and a monorail!

    Is it pictured alongside H/O stock or was it quite tall compared to other stock?

    So why announce it now - who else is working on it?

    Dapol Class 73 Pickups

    Markwj replied to maico's topic in Dapol

    I got one of the cheap laisdcc chips and power pack from eBay for 20 quid as it it didn’t work I wouldn’t be too far out of pocket and it works ok. cheers.

    Dapol Class 73 Pickups

    Markwj replied to maico's topic in Dapol

    So I bit the bullet a bit and managed to modify one bogie and fit a stay alive which has given me acceptable running. I was really uncomfortable taking a razor saw to the model hence only one bogie modified. I did try the stay alive on its own and while it improved running it wasn’t good enough.

    I think Ben put in another thread (I think it was the thread with the Jenny Kirk interview in) that they would post when they had delivery info suggesting they don’t know at this point.

    I think they always offer a choice of arm I am always asked which arm I want my flu jab for example. They try to inject the non dominant side as you are more likely to rest it and will be less uncomfortable if you are writing etc.

    I can’t help feeling that wasn’t the real boris Johnson- only counted 1 ‘alas’ and the hair was too tidy!

    Preorder email

    Markwj replied to Hilux5972's topic in Hornby

    After the last lot of emails cancelling orders I emailed hattons to check they can supply my Hornby pre- orders and they confirmed they could although to be honest I am not 100% confident. Time will tellI guess.

    I was wondering how likely we are to see a show this year particularly as some shows are a year in the planning. It’s probably too soon to start that planning now in case the planned lockdown easing is derailed (see what I did there)! I only really saw my brothers when we went to a show together as we all live in different towns and we need something like this to meet up at as one of them is boring! Hopefully we can get together soon!

    There used to be a propelling move out of Blackpool north and then a run round in the carriage sidings then I think a reverse back into the station. I believe it was all done with the same engine I don’t think it was one loco in and one out. Its all units now so no longer.

    I wonder if this includes the collectors club Captain Tom models?

    Would an old hearing aid battery or one of that type (you can get bigger flatter types) painted be an option

    Dapol Class 73 Pickups

    Markwj replied to maico's topic in Dapol

    While the extra pick up route seems to be the best way to go would a dcc decoder with stay alive be effective?

    The pendolino was once done by Dapol (poorly) then with a retool by Hornby so this would fit your criteria although I can’t see it myself!
  23. Markwj
    I ordered Gordon but am worried when I see the pics I may order a blue one (I really must learn self control)!
  24. Markwj
    Could you be in the position that the class 37, 55 and 92 all arrive at the same time as they are all (I think) slated for Q3? How am I going to hide that box from the wife it will be huge?? cheers mark

    Do retail or the media get a look at the announcements before they are announced or do they find out the same time as us? This would indicate if rails actually know something we don’t or are just trying to whip up excitement.
