Amazing that they've either sold or bought nearly 600 items and have 100% positive feedback, perhaps they've only just started trying to sell junk at inflated prices.

i I reckon some folk just mistake where they put the decimal point

Great Model Railway Challenge - Channel 5
Sweeps replied to Andy Y's topic in Great Model Railway Challenge - Channel 5
Sorry if this question has been asked previously in the 74 pages here, but has anyone noticed a tangible benefit from the show, like increased sales of modelling magazines, increase in people wandering into model shops or attendance a exhibitions? -
This dismantling of locomotives and the selling of parts for ridiculous amounts is beginning to get beyond a joke, it really winds me up.

The Yorkshire Steam Railway: All Aboard" Channel 5 Fridays
Sweeps replied to it's-er's topic in DVD/Video/TV
About 40 minutes according to the program. Good tele though and excellent promotion of the railway. -
So where was it shot then?
-
Yup, the weird train spotter.

Bet the murderer turns out to be the weird train spotter

Thought it was mid Hants.

Do you think some sellers deliberately take photographs of locos with the tender coupled the wrong way around to convey the impression that they know little about model trains and we could get a bargain, or Is it a genuine error - frequently made,

This is what I tried to post - hopefully it'll work this time
-
You'd be really upset if a well meaning relative bought you one of these.
-
At one point it was said the railway modelling is the second most popular hobby in the UK - is this true?
-
If these production runs are as few as is being suggested I can't see how Hornby, or other manufacturers for that matter can make significant amounts of money, take off 20% vat all the production costs, profit for the retailer even if they were coming away with a profit of £20 per item you're not meeting the salary of one member of staff.

Why have they all got holes for the fitting of vacuum pipes when I can't remember any of them being so fitted?
-
Slightly off topic, I know they've been there for years but I always thought Margate was a daft place for a visitor centre. It's quite out of the way and no one's going to visit from the sea. Birmingham - Manchester, Leeds easy to get to for millions of folk

Do you think they intended it to say Tornado but couldn't spell?

What's this about? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-OO-GAUGE-BR-BLACK-2-10-0-CLASS-9F-TONANDO-92116-STEAM-LOCO-3Q-/132325470390?hash=item1ecf3670b6:g:VisAAOSwVgZZtoUe

I never fail to be amazed at the intricate liveries on model railway items, the lining is perfect and commendably thin and often in such difficult places. How do they do it so accurately?
-
I've got a chair from the Croesor tramway.
-
Thanks for that Keith, 43,000 is quite an impressive circulation didn't realise there were that many modellers.
-
I've not missed many issues since 1969 and I have to say it's far better now than in was perhaps 10 years ago, I too hope to see the 1000th edition. Wonder what the circulation is?
-
No, it's not there.
-
Do digital subscribers not get the free commemorative booklet?
