I’m almost certain it’s been mentioned , and it seems a popular idea

Thats a shame, I don’t live in south bucks anymore but it seems with the loss of this, the one at Aston Clinton , the one at Twyford, it really is a desert of model shops. Cant even nip up the M40 to motor books or howes anymore ( excepting paints )

Fair enough , I’m off back in time to shoot bill gates in the head with an AR15..

AI……was I the only one to watch “ terminator “ .We re in deep do do ….

Still looks like it’s on tippy toes to me - I think I cannot see a reason to move from Bachmann for this diesel

Very true . For me the locos are the stars and not evoking the feeling of the prototype is like…Ryan gosling fluffing his lines ! I try to be humble though when I remember all those Lima I collected , great shapes but mechanisms not quite up to it for the 90s-2000s

I disagree.In these days of laser scanning , CAD design etc and the fact that numerous of the prototype still exists , there’s no interpretation required….just accuracy . It’s not unfair in this day and age to expect excellence , especially for the prices we now pay - “ good enough “ just isn’t good enough .

Be easy these days … “ runs as required “

Nah - humourous more like

And maybe I’ll get an angle grinder and fix the shape at the same time ?

These look way too far out to me

The lad did well . Verstappen won’t give up a winning drive on a tiff over staff . It’s BS

Time will tell what they come up with .

Semantics. Ok not London but a hell of a lot of NSE territory . ” have sold well enough “ - have they ? I remember the Bachmann ones discounted to 79 quid to get rid of them , and there’s loads around from this run . Without facts , it’s purely conjecture as to how well they did

In your opinion of course , How many times do we hear “ they’d sell” which roughly translated means “ It’s what I want “. I hear electrostar a lot - is this purely a london area unit ?( besides the rainbow colours with each franchise change ), if so how many people model the contemporary third rail railway ? A fraction of a fraction I’d guess at . As a model manufacturer surely you go after the most popular stuff , financial gambles not really needed ?

There’s lots of units to go at, but can they be produced at a price point that sells ? Bachmann eye watering EMU prices are a case in hand . If I was Accura I’d watch and see how the revolution 321 goes first

If you make an accusation which is proved to be incorrect or a lie , doesn’t that open you up to sacking on the basis of gross misconduct ? I can’t believe in this day and age , he actually wrote something in a text - screenshots have taken down many people . I never write, like or insinuate anything that can be used as a weapon against me .

In an ideal world “ Halfords announce rattle can range of contemporary railway colours “..we can but dream

I’m intrigued to know more about what it is you do and where you live ?

I remember my dad taking me to london stations just the once . Must have been 82-83 . I was brought up on a western region diet of 50s/HSTs and 117s. St Pancras - like a medieval gothic cave full of strange short nosed diesels . Euston - numbers I’d never seen that existed only in my spotting ABC . 86xxx, 87xxx, making a strange sci fi humming , going to places that only existed in my head as Football teams . Some fairly sensible names - “ City of Milton Keynes “ etc ( was it a city then ??) . Hoped to see an APT - didn’t . Kings cross. HSTs like a comfort blanket - 254 set numbers though . Underline em ! ( I used to draw a line through the number - what a numb nut , hadn’t read the Haynes guide to spotting ). The phrase - out my comfort zone summed up that day

Mainline wasted alot of their blue paint ! How long did 37109 last in blue before going EWS ? Months I think

No, I meant aircraft that whine that don’t have propellers

I’m led to believe verstappen senior is a nasty piece of work

It would seem the economics of Ejets doesn’t always work . Flybe got some awful lease terms and it was part of their issues … airlines suddenly get over excited about pure jets

Rivet counter ;)
