I think they'd sell too. If I didn't already have one I'd buy one. If you post the link for people to see I can order them with the club card.

Spoil sport!!!! You could have set it up on the kitchen table!!!! After all,,, an N gauger has dodgy eysight usually!!! A well demontrated point though!!

For some reason this thread did not produce an email notification nor show up under the bell symbol! I had to hunt to find it.

As we will need to tell members how it will work (registering with the Kentish site etc.) I envisage it being another link option from the shop page. Once we are ready we can notify members via the WiX shout out and also via Mailchimp.

Hi Chris, Would they do a long sleeved polo shirt? Unlike you I feel the cold! Maurice

Well,,,,,,,, to occupy myself in a moment of lul this evening i decided to ‘Read the *&#@%£ manual’! Yes,,, in 6 years of playing live steam i have never read the live steam manual cover to cover, and as i like a bit of cutting out and sticking, I have now up graded to the Book of Adrian! I have the latter book with the hornby addendum sheet, but it still contains the misleading hornby info. Originaly, It all starts quite jolly and promising, then it starts to confuse the reader a little with one or two bits of misinformation regarding oil quantity etc. A rolling road is not mentioned once in the early sections so this is an obvious clanger on Hornbys part. The real trouble starts on page 27 ‘Setting the loco in motion’ and I laughed out loud when reading the original words! Although many mechanical types like most of us on the committee, will have worked things out themselves, I do think like Adrian that the dreamers, nervious or un-mechanical types will have stuck to the manual like glue and subsequently ballsed up their locomotive, haplesly trying in vain to get it sorted only to shove it all in the loft. Apart from a couple of errors on ‘amperage’ and the use of ‘screwdrivers in the wheels’, I think the work put into the addendum sheet by Adrian is sound and worth the effort, but only to those who read the manual and for the first time. Many of our members including myself have already started to get it right from the off by referance to our website, show attendance, personal endurance and Adrians Sermons so im not sure if handing them out at shows to the already converted is going to do it. The sheet needs to go to the total newbie in thier first unrun set. If it can be placed on the site in the Knowledge section as a download, with its own shoutout on the home page, then maybe it will reach the virgin steamers who can print off on plain paper and pritt stick it all in to their manual before they start. I think it is a reasonable document to supply to club members who have yet to run a loco and also would-be-members but i would not put it in the shop or ask money for it. Correct it, let them download it, so we can get on with it!!!

I have placed the order for twelve items, total (with an increased 25% discount) £123.66. Kentish Embroidery are also going to redo the club logo as they now have better quality software. Once I have a delivery date I will work out the discounted costs for those who have requested items. In addition we are negotiating a possible automatic link from our site to theirs that may enable us to offer items of clothing to our shop customers (with different wording on the logo). I will let you know if the idea pans out.

I need clarification on the pricing structure. If satisfactory. then I vote yes/

Sounds good! Another shop in the Mall!!

Is there anybody else out there who has never read the Hornby manual? Absolutely agreed a parallel video is, in this day and age, essential. Hornby thought so too and included one with the set. We have one. It took a huge effort and cost into 4 figures to make (for the cameraman/editor). I gave one to every committee member when it was released. Has anyone not got one? I will happily send them one now. In the opening of this thread I made a suggestion about how we should use it. Perhaps we should vote on that too. (Disc only - no box - I would charge £3).

Not yet as I've been replenishing out of stock bits and peices. I will order some (5 sets). Unless you would like to order them up and pay from the club account direct. I can get them for around £28 direct from Hong Kong

I can do so, and as for selling them i cant say. we just have to give it a go! 5 sets would be a prudent amount and wouldnt kill the bank.
