New 2017 items

[VESPA]

I have just had a new items issue from Hornby and they are redoing the Coronation Pacifics including the Ivat version. Completely new model, with a large price tag to match. There are other new items that will interest many.

[Cronan]

They're bringing back the old A4 catalogue and TTS decoders just for under £40 pounds! Yay :)

[Yelrow]

Its all too much. The new Hitachi, looks good. john

[Fazy]

NOOOOOOOO! its the wrong Princess class! especially as I've finished not finished  City of Salford.  

 

Right shock over. Wondering is the tender, a mock up? as the lip is Still there. will I order one that's a toughy 

[Captain Mainwaring]

Love  the look of new Coronation Pacific's and will treat  myself  to one. Great news about TS decoders and the old style catalogue. ( although feedback suggested it was on the cards )

[Yelrow]

You will need to save up, unfortunately they will not be cheap. Programme on tv today, talking about second referendum possibilities. That might help. john

£375 for the new Hitachi, WITH NO SOUND? What? How?? Why???

Here we go. 

[Fazy]

Don't worry.  I've already got one on order.  I can sort out that myself if necessary. so no more going on about it.  apart from if they are doing the Coronation.  then the Royal is bond to follow. big smiles! !!!!!!!!

[Fazy]

5 Car Hitachi for £375 isn't that bad (with todays prices) look at the standard 101 /105/108 and even the Miland Pullman at £600~ so the price would point to a high level of detail. at a average price.

[Bulleidboy]

A second referendum will never happen John. As to the Duchess - it looks fantastic - even the wheels are round! I think I'll order one.

[PJ_model_trains]

If there was a second referendum John there would be major issues and civil unrest.

 

What happened to the days when people accepted a democratic vote?

 

There are to many babies in government, in finance, and in law, who throw their teddies out of the pram for the least thing.

[PJ_model_trains]

But TTS decoders are coming soon   😉

Which shall it be John, a TTS decoder or a case of nice red wine?

Now that makes the decision a little harder  😎

Does money grow on trees? 🤑

[Yelrow]

Not in france. john

[Huwsie]

Does money grow on trees - well it has been know..... let me elaborate a little further. 

I was once in a very, very poor country in Africa and as I was leaving I still had some local currency that was simply dead - they will never buy it back off you, so I wanted to give it to a woman I had seen through the week living on the street, with her baby, under a tarpualin.....

The guy who was assigned as my driver warned me that if anyone saw me give her money, they would rob her / even kill her if they had to... I tell you... we have nothing to complain about in life in my views... anyways, when I got back to my hotel, I had a apple in my room - I carefully cut out the core, and partly hollowed out the apple, into which I stuffed the cash, and then cut the core off as a plug to put back in and make the apple look whole again. As I left the hotel, I threw the apple at the said woman, who snatched it out of the air and hid it instantly as if nothing had ever happened. Obviously, she wanted to eat that when it was safer to do so.... and as I sat back in my seat on the flight home, I suddenly burst into a giggle, thinking of her biting into that apple and finding it stuffed with cash... Poor girl. I bet she now thinks that money grows on trees - more specifically in some range of apples!!

All we can do is hope Scotland votes the right way next time and England ends up with a land border with an EU country. Guess they could then ask Donald over to rebuild Hadrian’s Wall 😀

[walkingthedog]

We've already started to build a wall between us and Scotland Andy. Going pretty well, don't know what took us so long.  😆 😆

Well maybe it’s all for the best in the end, a country that does not even have a national football team is maybe no country at all.

[PJ_model_trains]

What is football... but 20 odd men kicking a bag of wind and one guy blowing a whistle!

Not in our house its not.

But then it would be Donald's wall not Hadrian's wall... 😀

[walkingthedog]

In my view football is so far down the list of unimportant things, about 500 places below wasps and slugs,  that it has no bearing on my life at all. A small eruption on the surface of one of Neptunes moons would affect me more.  😆

[LCDR]

 We are all getting VERY controversial, I thought this was a model railway forum.

 

Go stand in the corner and later write out 100 times, "I must not discuss politics, religion or football in the General Discussion forum !!".

[walkingthedog]

Yes you're right again LC, beats me how the subject of football can infiltrate this post unless we are discussing the B17.
