I've got a r550 oval of unitrack for running in and testing. I've not tried older models, but I have had some issues running over the "re-railer/mini level crossing" pieces, - Hornby princess (three years old) clunks on that piece of track. It's code 83 (I thinks) and so I would expect issues with1970s UK flanges. It *is* great at setting up and packed BG away quickly, but if you want to run older stuff, don't expect a rose garden.

It's a system, not a con... Oh, I can't be bothered. Life's too short.

Erm. No such thing?

Nope. Other way round...

I bet you it *has* got wires, somewhere!

Hornby don't think so - the hm6000 is pictured in their "coming soon" section of website. Don't mistake a stock-clearing discount on a Train Set for something else. The hm6010 unit is promoted for use with the hm7000 decoders, so I feel Hornby are still supporting.

Hmm. Be careful there - "development" means a number of different tasks normally taken by different teams - the team making Sound/function Files will not be the team working on The Hardware/firmware and not the same Team working in the software. Recently we've had/are having a new version of the firmware (and manual).

The problem I have with the catalogue's side-on views is that every single loco picture is scaled so they all look the same size, which can be a little disturbing - you really _can't_ tell the difference between all the GWR 4-6-0s!

One guesses No News is No News?

I feel that getting third-party manufacturers involved is the only way to stop hm7000 going the way of the Zero-One. They need to find some way to "open" the devices up so that third parties can produce sound/function profiles, they need to find some way to co-operate. In my mind, ideally, open sourcing the APIs necessary to communicate with the chips so that control can be built into other devices and other parties can produce compatible decoders. DCC won out through co-operation, without co-operation I'll be buying a new DCC control system in 5 years time to replace the hm7000. I like HM7000, it's a great concept and finally brought me into DCC Sound, I just don't want it to wither on the vine because there is only one company supporting it...

Ha ha ha ha. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155899557119?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xZI5pwyaTWa&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=v6cpl3kbqqi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Ha ha ha ha And there's more where that came from!

I miss my "Yankee" (pump-action screwdriver to you). It was a present from my dad and I believe it was knicked by one of the builders we had at the house. It never run out of battery power! But my arms felt it...

Well, P2 went ahead, if a fair bit delayed, so I suspect the race will go ahead... 'manhole cover issues' happen at street circuits.

I'm impressed that Dapol think we'll have money left to buy more HSTs after we all pick up the Midland Pullman set!

I think you're missing the point that 3mm is a _modellers_ scale, and the "community" around 3mm seems very strong; RTR doesn't matter to people making their own Everythings the way Everyone did it in the 1950s.

Or he's looking forward to seeing it all appear on eBay at twice the price, then posting onto "eBay madness" thread.

Hornby have done a number of different liveried Nelsons, and I believe their tooling is the more recent.. let's see... the drawing on the back of the box says 2017

And we're back to RMWeb ..

Erm.. if we recall the works of Guy Ritchie, if you send a cheque off to "bobby's bits" you'll be sent a refund check from a different company..

Mais, non, mademoiselle Marple; this man was obviously POISONED!

You know that Royal Mail will pick up from your home, for some cost as horrendous as, erm, 60p, last time I used the service.

I see that Dapol are changing their tension locks: https://www.Dapol.co.uk/blogs/news/new-oo-gauge-coupling-design Supposedly "some people" have experienced some Droop...

People normally use glue. I've seen Americans use "white glue", but I'll be using UHU. When B&Q deliver the correct pieces of wood...
