@GWRHelp Do you know there is a typo on this? I’m guessing you do but just in case. Enjoying my journey on this wonderful machine

@jon_trickett As an MP you surely know that we don't elect Prime Ministers.

@Nami_husky But IT's AutoMATeD!

@PacerClara The reality is likely that the piece of off the shelf software has this as a step of their registration page. It's hardly an issue. They offer a wide range of choices and other as options.

@CutAwayForFour Haha don't say that!!! Unless Arsenal get beat too. That would be funny! But I'd rather we win comfortably.

@TheRailMageean Congratulations

@MBrundleF1 You're a hero Martin. Always enjoyable to watch and we all make mistakes.

@minorieslayout Enjoyed seeing the layout today.

@jameswells83 @smccarron @OldBuzzard59 @lyneux @accurascale @hornby @cavalexmodels A large reason I went with them for the HAA wagons

[St. Michael's Hill @StMichaelsHill1]

@smccarron @OldBuzzard59 @lyneux But we have to pay the VAT!

[St. Michael's Hill @StMichaelsHill1]

@smccarron @OldBuzzard59 @lyneux According to my invoice they were £124.96 plus 20% VAT. And it was one side of every wagon.

[St. Michael's Hill @StMichaelsHill1]

@smccarron @lyneux @OldBuzzard59 It's OK. I will sort them as I want to keep them. They are great wagons on the whole. It's more about claiming Accurascale are perfect. When they are no more perfect than anyone else. Great models but not perfect.

[St. Michael's Hill @StMichaelsHill1]

@smccarron @lyneux @OldBuzzard59 It isn't possible to be 100% accurate I agree. There are somethings that aren't possible. But seeing as you got the branding correct on one side I'd say it was possible to do it on the other as well.

[St. Michael's Hill @StMichaelsHill1]

@lyneux @smccarron @OldBuzzard59 I agree. They are nice wagons. I'm happy with mine other than the obvious mistake. And I'm happy enough to do some modelling and change the branding to be correct. That's not my issue. It's the statement you made which as shown by the examples we've given, just isn't true.

[St. Michael's Hill @StMichaelsHill1]

@smccarron @OldBuzzard59 @lyneux Of course it affects accuracy and detail! It's not accurate to have the branding wrong. I appreciate the drive that you make to get the handrails & pipes in the right place, but it's undermined somewhat by the branding being misplaced. When I paid £450 I hoped they'd be correct.

[St. Michael's Hill @StMichaelsHill1]

@smccarron @OldBuzzard59 @lyneux So as long as no one else makes one you can make whatever mistakes you like?! 🤣

[St. Michael's Hill @StMichaelsHill1]

@smccarron @OldBuzzard59 @lyneux @accurascale @hornby @cavalexmodels And let's not forget this! You're making great models but you can't make such claims just yet.

[St. Michael's Hill @StMichaelsHill1]

@smccarron @OldBuzzard59 @lyneux @accurascale @hornby @cavalexmodels To be fair you can't claim to not be beaten on accuracy and then claim people are nitpicking when they find inaccuracies. Otherwise we'd all be happy with the 80s Hornby version.

[St. Michael's Hill @StMichaelsHill1]

@smccarron @OldBuzzard59 @accurascale @hornby @cavalexmodels I won't get the chance for a review as I've only got the Cavalex ones on order but I'm sure there will be lots of people who have both and will make comparisons.

[St. Michael's Hill @StMichaelsHill1]

@smccarron @OldBuzzard59 @accurascale @hornby @cavalexmodels I just feel after having wagons from both manufacturers that the best bet are Cavalex. I'm sure your wagons will be great too and I guess it won't be long until both are here and we can see for ourselves.
