    Do you get a free model every year?

    There was an 0-6-0, which was a one-off. Would have been nice of they released another 0-6-0 for 2020. It may not have been from 2015, it might have been from 2014 then but in one of those years, a heavily weathered 0-6-0 scrap locomotive was released as part of the Hornby RailRoad range. I bought one on eBay last year, but the box soes not state which it's from.

    That's the model, but I had forgotten the product number, hence why I didn't mention it! Thank you.  😀

    which way round does a class 20 go?

    I know that you said Brian. I was qouting you, without using the pink qoute box which a waste of space.  😀

     

    Without a turntable, locomotives would not be able to turn around without a crane lifting them off the track, which not necessary, really! 😆

     

    I think they look better nose first, but I understand why they are easier to for the driver to see where it he / she is going, if the locomotive runs cab first. Apart from steam locomotives, I don't think most diesel locomotives have a front and a rear. They run just fine in either direction.

    Thank you.  😀

     

    I just kept reading posts here at the Airfix Forum, where people asking when there images will be approven and that won't be for a while yet. I don't think admin would post any of the fourms the update, as there is no Adminstrator, by sounds of things, hence why no images are being approved presently.

    I see; Still worth the money, even without the box and paperwork.

     

    @JeremiahBunyan

     

    Shall I assume you have been in contact with Hornby Hobbies, about the tooling for the new APT model and the learn that the tooling for the original model was destroyed?

    OK, I did not know that the Community Moderators on this forum knew about it. I assume then that all Community Moderators on all of the forums, know about the Adminstartor's depature.

     

    I am sorry for making the announcement, but it appeared that members here on the Airfix Forum were wondering why it is taking so long for their images to be approved, so I thought I would share the information that I have learned over at the Hornby Forum. I hope that's alright?

    Airfix QUICK BUILD: M&S Branded Boxes

    @Paul Brown and @Ratch

     

    Thank you both, for your information.  😀

     

    Hornby Hobbies appears to have had exclusive products sold at M&S for a long time. In the Hornby model railways brand, exclusive Train Sets have sold at M&S with their logo on in the past, as well. It appears to be not exlusive to none of the brands that Hornby Hobbies own.

    Airfix QUICK BUILD: M&S Branded Boxes

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Whilst searching eBay, I have come across several Airfix QUICK BUILD kits / sets, in boxes with the 'M&S' logo underneath the 'Airfix' logo. The boxes are black and light grey coloured, instead of the usual orange colour.

     

    Does anybody know why these versions exist? I don't go to M&S shops very often, but I when I have done, I have never seen these sold there. I assume the stock I have seen on eBay, was originally sold by M&S? I am just puzzled as to why they exisit and to why Hornby Hobbies have personalized these with the M&S logo on.

     

    If anyone knows why these exist, please comment below. Thank you.  😀

    Scalextric New For 2020 Product Range

    in General Discussion

    @andy P.

     

    I didn't know that, so thank you. 😀

     

    It sounds to myself, that Scalextric Spark Plug Wireless Control is very similar to the Hornby Digital eLink system, as part the Hornby model railway brand, of Hornby Hobbies. I can understand such systems being created, as the main thing the world cares about these days, is computer / smartphone / tablet technology, sadly.

     

    So as regards to the "skins", what does that do? Does it change the look of the APP, or does it change the colour / look of the Scalextric car or cars, depending how many cars the person is using, at that moment of time?
