    I like the sound that trains* produce though. It's very charming to listen to.

     

    * When I say trians, I mean in a general concept, as high speed train, diesel or electrical multiple unit or a locomotive pulling coaches and / or wagons (Rolling stock).

    Don't forget, tooling, scaling and licenses involved add to the cost of kits. This Airfix starterKIT also includes brushes, piant and glue, as well as the parts to build the car. I don't think the price tag too bad and I am sure that kit will be found cheaper at model shops.

    Oh cool. Thanks for that hyperlink, Ratch.  😉 😀

     

    I did not realise the giant real life scale Airfix Spitkit kit, that created for his 'James May's Toy Stories' TV series, is still in existance. I thought it was dismantled, like the real life scale LEGO house was.

    I hate seeing closure of model shops, so by model shops stocking products exclusive to them, encourages sales by the general public

     

    I don't know wh many people directly from Hornby Hobbies, for models. They are sold at the RRP and you can always find the product want at a model shop cheaper. I can understand however, people buying directly from Hornby Hobbies, wanting to be Collector Club member and to buy other memorabilia non-model railway products, such as mugs, pens and pin badges.

    These were released for exclusive model shops to buy and sell only. It is not a backwards step, as it encourages people to buy from model shops that they have never purchased from, or very rarely purchases from. These exclusive train sets and train packs, helps to keep modle shops in business.

    Great pictures, Ratch. Thank you for posting them.  😉  😀

     

    I don‘t know a massive amount about aircrafts, which may explain why I am asking this question; Are those aeroplanes really aircrafts or large real life scale kits, similar to what James May made with the help of other people, in his 2009 TV series, James May’s Toy Stories.

    Will you not miss OO Gauge? I think I would, if I decided to change gauge. O Gauge is certainly remarkble in it's level of deatil, but so are some of the OO Gauge models. The biggest probably is with O Gauge is the cost of the models and how much space it all takes, so the same board containing a O Gauge will have less running space, than the same size boardhaving OO Gauge track on it. I am sure you know that already, Brian.
