    If you see an item that you would like to buy on Rails E Bay site, does anyone know if it can be purchased over the phone? Bit of a Luddite, never bought anything via an e bay transaction. Thanks.

    What I find refreshing about this and recent Hattons models is that they are announced and available to buy within a 12 month time scale, rather than the announcement and wait five years for the model to hit the shelves as being the case in a major manufacturer accompanied by several price hikes. Well done Hattons, will be pre ordering 66705.

    No just all the commissions in general.

    I wonder if these commissions that Bachmann have taken on for Retailers which appears to increasing in number have a detrimental effect on the lead times for their catalogue items.

    If there was ever a case of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it, this is one of them.

    As requested by DanielB, more photos. The one negative I have found with US modelling other than the availability of stock is that unlike our US cousins with their large house and big basements the majority of us have smaller rooms to house our hobby. We can run long trains through all the scenic sections but unable to have a decent fiddle yard to accommodate the length of these consists.

    Having been disillusioned with the way British 00 was heading with costs thought I would give US railroading a go, this has proved a winner as I have found obtaining US outline in the UK quite challenging it is back to scratchbuilding and proper modelling. This is the Weyerhauser factory in one corner.

    Why cannot they fit a decoder like on US Bachmann stock where the item can be operated on dcc or analogue?

    It seems strange that since this stock take the whole system has gone to downhill. I ordered a loco, strangely no by return order acceptance e mail, after several days rang to be told it would be sorted in the next two days, waited a week, phoned again and was told that they would investigate. Later that day got an automated e mail saying my order had been cancelled.

    I stick to model railways but have several friends who are aircraft and military modellers, they are full of praise for the way Airfix in recent years have improved, bringing out new models and re tooling old moulds up to modern day standards. Also told that these are now manufactured in India, has this been a helpful move taking manufacture issues away from China.

    Surely the drop in the oil price should be making the plastic cheaper. THEY CERTAINLY SAID WHEN THE OIL PRICE WAS HIGH IT MADE ANYTHING MADE FROM PLASTIC DEARER!

    Youngsters and model railways, my grandson loved the die cast Thomas the Tank Engine items and ran them about the plastic track, got immense fun out of them. Had all the Thomas the Tank engine DVD's However as the got older instead retaining an interest in railways he graduated to computer games and LEGO. I can quite believe that sales of Train Sets is diminishing
