PJ_model_trains Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hello RDSWhat is Loco Detection? Do you think it could be of interest to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hello PJLoco Detection is a rumour. Do I think it could interest you? On the basis that you have had more attempts on the sweep (all elapsed now!) than anyone else, I think it could. Time for another guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus Caesar Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Well, it seems my usually reliable informant got his information wrong... my first date has passed into the great big annals of history... just like my first girly date... lolSo, it seems with a second guess I added I am still some time off, I will add a new date... 18 May 2016.The rumour mongers down at the mill have it that Hornby are awaiting the release of the 100th anniversary edition of the Flying Scotsman to release loco detection on the same day!!! These guys know their stuff... I'll hang back from that date because my own information tells me that will be wrong! Anyway, I have my own version of loco detection and have had it for years... pop into my train room and I see LOADS of 'em... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Could it have been overtaken by LCC studies, cos if you read the blurb, Loco detection, will be much easier, , with its introduction. Perhaps we should start a sweep for Lcc introduction. Me thinks, some of us will not be around for its arrival. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDS Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Wow and there are been so much excitement in a rumour?Yes, I agree. Unfortunately I had passed the 'edit post time slot' by the time it occured to me that I should have added that although it is a rumour, it is one that has kept many of us very excited. Anyway, where is your new guess because you are currently out of the sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ_model_trains Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Hi RDS, many ot excited yes, but WTD and yelrow possibly not ;o) I won't bother with the sweep at this time. To me the situation with LD is similar to that with a fire. If nothing happens to it the heat reduces and the light fades. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosh Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 30th February, 2016 Due to not enough days in February, even with a leap year, the date will be entered into the sweep as 29th February 2016.LOL - it was no mistake on my part - just being sarcastic.

Augustus Caesar Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 The rumour mongers down at the mill have it that Hornby are awaiting the release of the 100th anniversary... 100th Anniversary of what? That is the question! PJ... it seems in my hurry to type that one up I forgot to put this bit in there somewhere...where the Fl. Scotsman... "was used to haul the inaugural train from London on 1 May 1928, and it successfully ran the 392 miles between Edinburgh and London without stopping" ... which was to have meant we may wait until that date 100 years on for LD to pop up!! So, just another 12.5 years... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ_model_trains Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 All this excitment and for so long... Hornby mentioned LD, they didn't tell us they were actually referring to a 'Long Delay' ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hosh Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 All this excitment and for so long... Hornby mentioned LD, they didn't tell us they were actually referring to a 'Long Delay' ;o) Yeah, maybe we need another thread for alternatives to "LD". Here's mine - "Left Dangling".

stephenknicholson Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Planned for 2017 and using different technology (that had been previously planned). Apparantly will allow other features - which the Hornby representitive did not elaborate on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientMariner Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 So LD stands for "Lasting Disappointment". Time to close this thread perhaps? AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ_model_trains Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 As we wait patiently for LD to raise its head, materially not as with puffs of steam as we have seen for the last couple of years... some things we can be certain of... Time rolls on and we all get older, some of us could end up with..... 'Loco Dementia' LD seems more like a 'Long Dream' to me ;o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37lover Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 So a Hornby Rep has stated 2017 but nothing official posted here! If released towards the end of 2017 that's two more years. I did buy RM for LD although I'm happy to acknowledge it does a lot, and is a great product, without LD. With due recognition to AM, LD = "Limitless Disappointment".

PJ_model_trains Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 It makes more sense now..... Loco Different-technology 2017 Allowing other features - like more £'sss no doubt What do you fancy for Christmas 2017 guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ_model_trains Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hi AC It was one of those replies you think several times before submitting has it could be an issue for some people. My step dad struggled a long time with it, my father in law passed away earlier this year with a long period of vascular demnetia, my mother in law is hard work struggling with altzheimers. I felt it said what it should without offending...Loco Dementia --- what was it we are waiting for? I am really left shaking my head, why did Hornby raise hopes so long ago to leave customers dangling in mid air for so long. To watch the market?To keep people interested in Hornby LD and not go elsewhere?I think it could come back and bite their bum so to speak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB51 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 It is very much a programming system (being in IT that helps) so not your basic plug and click. Do you want to say what it is called Phul? No harm in us having a look. I suspect it's above my head though if there is code to write, got enough to do with plain English. R- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
