I hope someone from Bachmann will get to read this. I am not sure that this is the best place to post this, but it will have to do.

There are some significant problems with the bachmann.co.uk website.

The "contact us" forms fail, regardless of which browser I use. I can't contact them to tell them their website is broken.
I hate the inner scrollbar on the product pages. It's unnecessary and makes usability hard, especially on smaller-screen computers.
The pages have a "HTML4" icon at the bottom but nobody has bothered to check that the pages are actually valid. They are not.

I hope this info gets to Bachmann and they are able to use it constructively.

Well Model Rail News was not the place.

I would like to add that the Bachmann RSS feed is not working properly too. I use RSS quite a bit and this is not really what they should be like. It seems to be about the latest available products, its not updated much and defeats the purpose.

Why not set up a Latest news RSS feed? Or a Press releases RSS Feed?

I've had a note from Bachmann. The comments above have been noted and duly passed on to the website designers.

Good for them
