  1. went to the show today. Big improvment over last year. No gaps and they put more in to the show this year. Great to see so many traders and layouts. The smaller hall was full this year. I got the impression there was less specialist trader in the small hall than in previous years. Over all great show and glad I went. Great they keept the free parking.
  2. I hear what you are saying ,But by putting the price were it is. There a lot of potential customers that will say: I like it but will pass on the price. On The Niche part. Prototype locos have sold well in the UK model market in the past. I think KR models are on there 3rd run of GT3. Some niche models can have wide appeal if priced well.
  3. Saw the model to day at the NEC. Very nice looks great,But way over priced. It is a small eletric loco. You can get a lot of small medium and large model locos for less than this one is priced. So I will pass unless I see it in the bargin bin
  4. Mine arived today. The Artwork on the Box is Fantastic. Top marks to Rapido. Not had the chance to run her yet. Looking foward to that.
  5. they are going to re market it as an Airfix kit LOL
  6. They have chicked out of Alexandra Palace show to LOL
  7. My Guess is Hornby has supplied some You Tubers first so they can do reviews. There was some plugging for Hornby.com in the vid
  8. Got mine today . Well done KR Models thanks for part , very kind of you.
  9. I wonder what Hornby are going to be doing with all these broken returns . Will they have enough body shells to fix the broken returned models . Or will they have to commission a second run to replace the broken body shells. Or will they have enough in stock .
  10. We all know Hornby has not yet got a final date for when 5 and 7 cars will be avaible. Yes there is date on there website but it changes all the time. If they left 1 week ago from the factory in china we would still have 7 weeks wait. About 2nd week of January. The guy in china might get it direct. Hence he has it for sale now . Do Hornby anounce when items are in transet ?
  11. though the web site was RM web not RM spellchecker. There allways one pick person
  12. I see what you mean. In the 1st sec of the vid you get a good side on of the nose. Something dosent look wright on the joint line. Looks like its bulging, It could be the light causing that. What is clear the pantograph looks poor. Its not even stright.
  13. Got mine and ran it for the first time. Could not get the AWS horn or bell to sound eventhough they are listed. The whistel was broken. Making that out of plastic was a bad move. Should have been made out of brass. Overall pleased with it.
  14. I was lead to belive in the 7 car set 1 NDM was powered and the Other was dummy. This is the first time I have seen some say both NDM will be powered in the 7 car set
