Broithe Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Fully automatic working? Automatic shunting? In 1978? Who needs DCC - whatever that will be..? Quote

Garfield Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 who said romance is dead!! Well, Hadley Model Shop pretty much made the announcment it back in 1978... Quote
Weshty Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 The 1978 prices are also interesting: Turntable £49 = £450 labour hours's equivalent today. A modern powered equivalent is c.£110 Pacific £29 = £267 labour hours's equivalent today. Today's bachhy/hornby equivalent is c.£120 Summary? Thanks to globalisation, cheap chinese labour and higher competition, prices are 25% of what they were 35 years ago... Quote
