Model Railway Forum

I wish that model trains was brought back from China and make them back to the UK, I know it would be more money but how many locos do we buy in a year what's your thoughts.

Are you happy the pay more as a result?

I used to buy too many so more expensive might have slowed me down. Dapol make stuff in Wales so stick with them.

I know it'll be more money but if we buy UK it will be better for us. How many loco's do you buy a year .

Too many, but now all are 'pre-loved' in need of a service and minor repairs.

They're already too expensive. Price if made in the UK would be far more and the company would probably go bust very quickly (IMHO)

Ten or more.
I, for one, am quite happy for non-essential items to be made wherever to keep the costs within reasonable reach of the wider population, rather than fuel an ideological experiment in isolationism.

Been away for three weeks, it looks like the lights have been switched OFF on here.
