Hi Everybody,
Thanks to Adrian for circulating the article, some good parts, particularly about he club, but very unfortunate that they lay most of the blame for the sales drop off due to the handbook.
This comment can only have come from us, I'm not aware of anyone else commenting about live steam in this way. Frankly it's anecdotal at best and does not help us in promoting live steam or our relationship with Hornby, they for sure will know where this has come from. Also it is irrelevant today, unless you're about to buy a loco.
Following my recent post re success, surely this is the way to go, there is no requirement to mention the handbook until someone has bought or is about to buy a loco.
Can we all agree that the handbook will not be referred to in future, unless the above applies and we will not be brandishing copies of it about the layout.
I would like responses to the above please?
Maurice

Hi Maurice, I agree with you.
