Hi Guys
I hope this is the right place to put this I was wondering if there were many members of the collectors club on this forum and if so what do you think of the value of it and what do you think of the model that up you get
Hi Guys
I've just signed up for another year of the Bachmann collectors club and am looking forword to the 3rd tank wagon 2nd year in a row.
Thanks
Alan.

Looks like I missed this one 1st time around.
SWMBO is a (usually) regular member of the Hornby Club (shhhh :scowl:), and they give a reasonable 'zine (nothing flash though), and reasonable freebies.
I gave up on the Dapol Club after the first year; the 'zine was crap, the freebies ditto. Being late
every single issue didn't go towards impressing me either.
SWMBO is also a regular member of the Bachmann Club, and has signed up to get the N freebies for me as well as the OO for herself. And I must say the 'zine is very well done.
If I were to award marks out of 10, they'd be :
- Hornby - 7/10; a good effort but could be better
- Dapol - 3/10; stay behind & work much harder
- Bachmann - 9/10; very well done

Hi Mike
SWMO I don't have that issue thankfully but your rating for the Bachmann I do agree 9/10 mostly for effort and thought however i fined it time the info just two much for one article but that just me at time as I normally just got my other magizine around the same time but that not bachmanns fault.
Regards to Hornby I have never had anything from them and would niver get anything from them as have seen far 2 many being returnd to shops and shops complaint about lack of parts being 1 issue.
And dapol is I've just nive got around to joining to see what it's like although there 00 stuff I have seen has been nice models but could have been better with the Bachmann chassis is what let them down In the past I don't know if it's still the same today althought if the wagon in N gauge is anything to go by I'd say they have invested in new tooling.
So thanks for your feed back hope someone disagrees lol
Thanks
Alan
Is anyone on here still a member? I was after the set of 3 SECR wagons but the club seems to offer so little for the N gauge modeller there's no way I can justify £29 a year. I can live without them but the cynic in me thinks that after the release of the N Class in SECR livery they're only available through the club to boost membership numbers.
