RB51 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Having noticed a few folk (not many admittedly) trying to locate old Hornby Track Plans might it be possible to make them downloadable on this web-site somewhere without upsetting anyone?

96RAF Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thats a good idea Rog - I'm sure Adam could make it happen - Company marketing policy permitting of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Not only that, but a wider selection of 'installation leaflets' as well. The leaflets typically one A4 page that come in product packaging. Many times we get asked questions on how to put something together and you have to rely on finding someone who has actually done it to answer..I cite as an example the recent post about how to wire up a Skale Lighting plug. Poliss gave a link to an Australian retailer. It was the only known source of the information to be found..Also, just look at how many loco 'Service Sheets' particularly the older models that are missing on the Hornby site. Having to resort to other WWW resources to find them..Any Manufacturers website should be the font of all knowledge for their own products, historical as well as current.

Fishmanoz Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 One possible hitch with the Hornby plans - they sell them in their Track Plans book. So probably can only apply to any older plans not in the current book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yes, I did realise that Fishy which is why I said "old" in my post. Another possibility would be paid for downloads. Maybe they could include a parts list also. Just a thought for the marketing dept. to ponder. R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Marketing could take a leaf from the firm that is offering track plan packs , I.e. Plan and box of bits.they already do track at extension packs so why not track plans to order - pick and mix in despatch Dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hi ChrissafProbably the wrong place to post this, but I thought your "Getting Started with Track Extention Packs" was excellent. I'm past that stage, but downloaded it in case my grandchildren need some help. It is worthy of publication. Very well thought out, and should be of help to many on here - well done.

Chrissaf Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 BB, just posting here to acknowledge I have seen your kind comment. I did create a thread in the General Section where such comments can be posted, you will find it here"Extension Track Pack Guide (Comments)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
