Also, this is the Hornby thread, why would we announce anyone other than Hornby in it? 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct, the others were on the previous list. There have been other additions since Hornby too but didn't merit a specific announcement. I know others are still in progress too. Some people will argue about anything, not a wise move on a Sunday. 😁 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also mentioned the show takes place at the NEC, but this wouldn't be the place to discuss car parking, or the price of beer in the Wetherspoons near the hall. This thread is about Hornby, the clue being in the title. Want to talk about other show stuff? There is a thread for that: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyPenguin Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 With respect, as their is nothing more to add of relevance why not simply lock the thread & delete everything bar the OP ? 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
