RDS Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Seeing as we have had a few more guesses since the last time the table was published and one of them is only a week away, I thought I had better re-post the table. /media/tinymce_upload/7c079f7a11c60d7c78ab88c8c889a109.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDS Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 As there are a few guesses coming up in the next few months, I thought it was worth reminding ourselves of the long awaited LD enhancement to RailMaster. /media/tinymce_upload/99203476bdf053bba573bdeee635debd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westernwill Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Maybe with the new management team some impetus will be put behind this. Though I would actually prefer them to start with adding something that the Bachmann system already has. The ability to run 10 programs simultaneously.

St1ngr4y Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 The Bachmann programming system is also much more flexible in that each command in a program isn't tied to a time offset from the start of the program. This allows it to perform conditional branches to other sections of the program. How nice it would be to be able to include a line such as this in a program:- If Signal 123 = "Stop" then goto BringTrainToHalt Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 After saying I would post the latest table, I realised that we have no new guesses and I can't post pictures at the moment either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_ Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Unfortunatly I think LD is way down Hornby's priority list. If it does ever happen, I don't think it's going to be until well after they are back in profit. I wouldn't be suprised if Bachmann beat them to it with something similar to go with their new Railcontroller system and thus I won't be suprised if LD gets binned entirely.

Howbi Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Nice one, RDS, difficult to believe you started this sweep 4 years 11 months ago...... 🤔.........HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Looking at that list, it seems to me AC is an old artilleryman using bracketing theory to try to hit the target. It’s not working though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 ... difficult to believe you started this sweep 4 years 11 months ago.. Hmm, yes it is difficult to believe, especially seeing as it was just under 3 years ago - but at least you are still in the running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Yes it is difficult to believe, especially seeing as it was just under 3 years ago - but at least you are still in the running!Aaaahhh, yes, getting ahead of myself there.........I'm ok now, though, just had medication......... 😮.........HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus Caesar Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Looking at that list, it seems to me AC is an old artilleryman using bracketing theory to try to hit the target. It’s not working though. Not quite an old artilleryman Fishy... not quite old yet and not the other either 😆However, with as many shots at this as is seen on the list it does look like rapid fire of sorts.Yet I have no more dates to look forward to where LD may one day surface.Should I have another round of artillery fire then? I'll do a max of three if allowed by my 'competitors' 😉Here's one to get started... 12 September 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Please make as many shots in the dark as you like AC. Don’t mind me, I’ll just keep my head down and suggest anyone else in the vicinity do the same. Except Will, you may fire at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Fishy - we are not allowed to fire at Will anymore. He was obviously getting miffed about it. Nowadays it is 'At the target in front of you, in your own time - Fire'. I presume the directional qualification was inserted for guidance of those who may think Will was lurking behind them. RPJ - If you win you get the opportunity to spend an absolute fortune of your own money on the LD system, and that is going on the prices we saw donkey's years ago..
