RDS Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 There has been a lot of discussion regarding LD availability. Is it time we had a sweep. Just a date required. My guess: 7/5/2016Only posts containing a valid date will be considered for this thread. If you wish to discuss something else with regard loco detection, please raise a new thread. Posts that are not 'guess dates' will be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuthbert Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 It's an obvious date in the model railway calendar, but I'm optimistically going for 22 November 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ_model_trains Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I will say a date I am sure it won't be, April 1st 2015 But would be happy with any date before this, preferrably any date before 31 December 2014 I Wish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graskie Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Not really bothered myself. Still plenty of other things to do. I'll probably never see it anyway, whenever it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ_model_trains Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 If its not before april, PJ, a lot of the market will be under threat. john I totally agree John Also they will be heading into the quietest part of the year. Our business was in the hobby sector, we found the year divided into three periods. September to Christmas the peak season, increasing week on week. The second highest period was January to Easter, the winter period, people spend time and money on hobbies, then Easter to September people go out, the weather is better, they go on holiday, they do jobs in the garden so trade drops, understandably. If they don't hit the before Christmas period they must, I feel, hit early in the new year. People will risk spending more up to Christmas, especially if they think stocks could be in demand or limited. Come on Hornby. PJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Graskie Some will want it, some won't. That is understandable. What is importrant is, what ever we choose to do, we enjoy our hobby. I won't see Loco Detection either Graskie! The sensors are hidden in the sleepers, the wires under the board and the software works in the background. Unseen ;o) PJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
