They'll be any director buys...showing up...

imo

Its a shame todays results but retails tough or tougher than its always been. Agree that there are better options on some models than Airfix, but the kits are being upgraded as and when. Certainly theres a need for a bit more tech to deliver a better experience. Warhammer, the player age and the modeller is a diff type but I get your point.

Hrn have all the ability in the world to be great again, TT120, collectors pieces, its all there backed with heritage brand names.

If I was hrn Id be trying to license from Harry Potter, Star Wars etc across the range and maybe Hrn could get some space in their retail or go for pop-up shops in key locations on a rotation basis, certainly I'd put an outlet shop or two in the UK.

Maybe if Hrn are edging towards own retail, they need a retail brand team with a heritage bias to deliver the vision.. if thats what the vision is..and retail margins are 4 to 5 times higher than wholesale so its got to be worth it,

all imo..

I’ll be up from 4am...

Gla tomorrow one and all.

4p im thinking... /hoping..

no shortage of mud by the look of it.

careful all.. Baits has an uncanny knack of calling it right... imo

the earlier side tracks encountered fragile geo formations, which required a bit of a rethink drill bit direction wise/size - that sorted, cement casing etc.., all systems go now.

imo.

personally i wouldnt mind knowing what glue they used so i could get on with fixing some stuff at home..... it cant be super glue, the tarmac layers so thin (esp round here) it would bring it up. I wonder if it was no more nails, or tinned evo stick. any suggestions gratefully received.

Amazing to read Gregory peck is commenting on this, wonder if Burt Lancaster will add his opinion later.

IMO.

Sorry.. didn’t realise it had been posted already.... I’d like to say if it’s that important to the gov, why don’t they go and buy it off Angus.

IMO.

interesting. wonder if SETS is having an off day, cos ive never seen these without an sp doing loop the loop etc...

imo

soz if already posted

i really think, carrying on the tt:120 thread, its a good move. Hrn are right smaller living environments, smaller sets, although theres a coupe of other competitors out there in that gauge (i think) hornby have the market brand as being amongst the best.

these are also great collectors sets, and i will buy a few on that basis alone, the detail is high, the quality looks excellent.

the whole group has made some brilliant efforts i think over the past few years, all their products get rave reviews, the new airfix 1;24 spitfire, upgrades to Scalextric etc... the brands have a massive following, but the market is tight, physical retailers reducing, these are specialist products and the only way they will get the word out to a wider audience is via pop-up shops, special event concessions etc.. because these products need to be seen working in stores and then i feel people would go for them.

just my opinion. gla

im really surprised at todays news given the tweets over the past couple of weeks.. im hoping the co will do a podcast on here to give some info about todays news, i'd ask why it was done now and not when the sidetrack was completed when they could have possibly got a better deal as the sp would have been higher.

Thanks, I didn’t know we had any steal mills left.. I’m not against coal, we have the best in the world, and when the chance was available the U.K. could have subsidised its coal mines, as Germany did, but the rest is history.

Roll on the progress here, good weekend all .

Imo

agree, but lately have felt the market doesnt understand the product, hence the UK's move back to 1850's coal mining for the future of energy...

Absolutely agree, and anyone who says wind powers the future is talking out of their ar5e!

IMO.
