Nick - yes they do caps @ £6.99

Well it's done now. At a cost of 8p does it help or does it hinder? No extra charge to include it in the DVD. Do you want them in or out?

There has been a Hornby Live Steam Empire of India 60011 New & Unused on Preloved for £600 for some time. This is a TMC renamed loco originally a DDE. If something like this is hard to sell then maybe the margins will be tight.

Option 1 please.

I changed " You cannot rely on fishplates and point blades to pass the 5 amps of power permanently needed to keep a head of steam. to "You cannot rely on fishplates and point blades to pass the 5 amps or so needed to maintain steam" I will change 5 to 6 with other changes agreed.

So are you saying that you would prefer to sell on ebay at whatever price is reached above your cost value rather than remove from sale and offer it to club members without the ebay expenses?

All As Adrial want to proceed with the errata stickers and has now posted them for the committee to review, to progress the matter we need to vote. I have extracted the distribution suggestions from this discussion so that a choice can be made. The proposal is two stage:- Option 1. The club take on the responsibility for the printing and distribution of the errata sheets Option 2. Abandon the idea of supplying manual errata stickers If you vote for option 1 then indicate one or more choices from the distribution list a) Offer them widely FOC with any order and encourage owners to update their manuals. b) Offer them FOC at Roadshows and encourage owners to update their manuals c) Include them in all club DVD sales d) Include them with all club loco sales e) Sell them in the shop for £1 f) Make the sheets available FOC via the website getting started page Adrian has indicated that the printing costs of the sheets around 8p per sheet. As the vote is multi-choice I will collate the results to establish ta consensus.

OK go ahead

I would support the idea completely. I can't offer an opinion on the price, but I would say that not everyone looks ta pre-loved. eBay is a wider recognised site. NW

No - members pay Kentish embroidery's list price. The club will then be paid a commission equivalent to a minimum 15% discount on the sale in accordance with the sliding scale mentioned in the earlier post.

Good luck with that one Eric, you're a man after my own heart! However if the majority of punters thought it would work at the the turn of a knob, how many of those would even consider a full study of its workings. I anticipated most steam outline modelers to be steam enthusiasts with at least a basic knowledge of how a steam engine works. How wrong could I have been? Even when I was invited to Hornby's factory to view the new Scotsman model and inquired what modifications had been made in relation to the A4, the retort was [no names mentioned], 'We can't say, we don't know how it works!" And even when a certain gentleman from a leading model railway magazine [he later became editor] came round to my shed to take photos for an article, he admitted he did not know how steam engines worked and showed more interest in the type face I had used on the cab numbering. However I do think there is some mileage in cross referencing to a Utube video. I vote 1 and cdf.
