Whilst I may not have the modelling experience that others have I still consider myself to have a good deal of common sense. That common sense tells me that this thread is going round and round a very small circle with Gary in the middle. So Gary why don't you just agree to disagree and let Hornby get on with whatever they need to do to solve this situation. If as you say Hornby have evidence of non conformance by other manaufacturers let them use that in the right arena to bring a resolution to this sorry state of affairs. No matter how many times you say they must have evidence and that they should bring it to the correct authorities attention does not alter the facts. You may well believe that but it is apparent that many others don't and no amount of constant repetitive calls by you for Hornby to do it willl alter opinion on here. Opinion on here can ONLY be changed by Hornby doing whatever is required by them to prove their case. It really is time to 'put up or shutup' for Hornby. I am quite sure they have a presence on here in one form other than yourself Gary and they at least could have the backbone to respond to the criticisms posted on here and in Model Rail even if it is to say that they will be producing this so called evidence to the correct authorities.
I have no axe to grind with Hornby or any other manufacturer and certainly do not intend to take sides in this debate. IF Hornby are correct in their actions they will be able to prove it without your assistance. I feel you are digging a huge hole for yourself with this and your credibility already questioned by others is at stake. For the sake of yours, the forums and the hobbies credibility why don't you let Hornby do what they have to and move on. You can come back to the forum with your views when something more positive one way or the other is revealed and we can discuss it in a better informed manner then.
It is time to realise your role is not as defender of Hornby they are big enough to do that on their own. Stand back let the issues take their course and see what happens then.
