I also recieved a letter in the post yesterday (Saturday 07/03/2020), inviting me to renew my membership. I have already decided I am not doing that this year, as I do not want the 0-4-0 locomotive included.

That is a surpirse to me, as the box looks new to me, but on the tatty side. I assume the kit has been unbuilt though?

@Chrissaf
I understand. I would also like the thumbs, etc vote buttons to be added. Would be super useful, to all users with an account.

Wow, a 55 years old kit. Brand new, I assume?

When is the forum due to be overhauled?
How is a post, such as saying “thank you”, a waste of forum space?

How old is that kit, Ratch? I can tell it's a vintage kit, due to the box artwork and the turquoise coloured Airfix logo.
Good purchase, by the way. 😉 😀

That's not chat mode, Rob (RAF96). If I didn't reply to somebody, they will not know if I have read their reply or not. It's the same when somebody posts an image at my request and I do not reply with "thank you". The other person will almost certainly deem that as being rude. I am certain that it's not chat mode. It's being polite.
I am sorry that I disagree with you here, but I do not believe that being polite is a 'chat mode'. I do not believe we should skip politeness.

Yes, that is very true Chris.

@walkingthedog
Yeah, tell me about it! 😆 😉 😀
@Chrissaf
Thank you for your swift reply, to my question. 😀
If I ever was going to post another topic about buses or about other interests that I have, apart from model railways and railways, I would not do that now, being that the Off Topic sub-forum has been removed.
I am glad it was not daft and I did put in some careful consideration into it, before posting it. I considered it not being daft, so I took the risk and I posted it. The bus spotting thread did generate a lot of positive replies and a few members revealed that they are or were a bus spotter, in the past. I am very grateful to everyone who replied in that topic.

I don't run locomotives at full speed either. As other's have said arleady. There's no need to. It will drastically wear the life of a motor out and you have the greater risk of derailment, which can cause damage. The speed that some of the motors will travel at, is not realistic to a lot of locomotives anyway.

I know some of the posts and threads were daft, but none of them annoyed me to the point I wouldn't even click on them again.
Question: Was my bus spotting thread daft and of a 'chatroom' nature?

I had a feeling that the Off Topic sub-forum was going to close for good. The posts by the ComMod's and the fact that so many posts and topics have been removed recently, was a sign. End of an era. Now it's gone, I am sure it won't be coming back.

So what happens to all of the other topics that are not moved to the General Disscussion sub-forum? Will they all get deleted?
That's a shame. I rather liked the Off Topic sub-forum.

OK, thank you atom3624. 😀
Hopefully the images' approval will be tomorrow (Friday 06/03/2020), but if not, then we will have to wait until next week.

@atom3624
One more question; You mentioned you have ran your Heljan Class 58, so I gather that you have already received the locomotive in the post?
By the way, could you post any photos please? Thank you in advanced. 😀
Well the one one more question failed, didn’t it?! 😆 😉 😀

@james_mower
I do apologise for the late reply, once again. 😀
That makes sense and saves a lot of time removing roof, when you can use making tape to cover the area of a model that you do not want painted.
@Ratch
Let me guess how much that pack of paint brushes costed. 5.00?! 😆 😉 😀

I always like to read these Hornby Hobbies customer care stories. They are good. Thank you for sharing with us, Nictor. 😀

Buying a second hand locomotive, it makes sense to give it a service before you start running it.

sxbiker, that won't happen. Hornby Hobbies do not read the forum, never mind add a comment to any particular thread.

I assume you check underneath the bodyshell, to check if there's any motor, etc in the way, before you drill?

Hi Great Western Railway. 😀
Nobody else has replied yet, so I think it's the case where nobody here will know. I think this is the wrong forum, to be honest with you! 😆 😉 😀

I don't mind funnles on models, that you can' see down. I have never seen it being a problem, plus you don't really notice that when the locomotive is running.

I have used Atlas Editions in the past, to buy the majority of my Eddie Stobart truck 1:76 scale models.
I am unsure if anybody here would know about watches, but I recommend you take it to a watch shop for repair, if it can be repaired.

Airfix - What's your Latest Acquisition?

I like that version as well. The box artwork mage is the same, but the Airfix logo is different and the H.M.S. Ajax 600 typeface wording is different.
Thank you for posting that original box artwork, John the Pom (John Symmons). 😉 😀
