The new series still reminds me a bit of Blue Peter. The presenters Steve & Kathy are OK ,but ditch the other two laid ducks.

That is what I call the Blue Peter section of the program.

Re: The Great Model Railway Challenge
I thought it got better as the series progressed. I believe the first one shown was either the last or next to last to be filmed but had the "hook" (the over confident captain of one team) to get the viewers to come back for more! I remember that first program, I think he had a chip or tw...

Re: The Great Model Railway Challenge
I think the two presenters that front the program spoil the show.
Next year do away with them and the Biue Peter section keep
the judges & have someone just doing a voice over.

Re: Latest on Hornby takeover/buyout
Watching this perennial issue from the USA, I have wondered if it might be "psychological" as it seems the Hornby management never successfully made the transition from years of being a semi-monopoly (if you want OO trains, you buy Hornby) to actually having to compete in innovation &...

Re: Hornby R602 Power clip

Re: Hornby "Royal Duties" Flying Scotsman
As a result of a bargain from Hattons and an eBay 'win' I have two of these locomotives in mint condition. Even though a limited production they do not seem to be in any demand so I thought of detailing one of the locomotives for other than Royal Duty service. Would it be a simple matter of simply ...
