FA: Hornby Service Sheets

Phil: Why? since they are freely downloadable off the Hornby site as PDF files?

Phil, Why not? The current production is freely available from their website, true enough, these are from earlier production for which people might be looking for parts. They also give setting up instructions in some cases. Also if you were collecting a set you might be interested and they give revision and issue dates.

Before anyone feels the need to be parted from their money, they can be downloaded for free from the Hornby website.

Paul,

these ones can't. :-)

Where are you getting all this stuff? This is the 7th such message in 2 1/2 months. If the stuff was that good you wouldn't need to try & auction it thro' Ebay.

Come again? I've auctioned stuff at up to five times the original list price on eBay. It's not all junk.

Thanks

Which is fair enough bearing in mind these are photo copies and the ones on ebay are originals. Photocopies are usually OK if you are repairing locos though not always very clear. These sheets are aimed at the person who would like an original copy of a service sheet.

What else do you use them for?

Unless you're planning to frame them, surely no-one actually *needs* an original, do they?? The collector market hasn't got that anally retentive yet, surely :-)

Yo

They are? I didn't see any indication of them being 'photocopies' on that site. How do you know ... and how can you tell? Unless they're really poor quality or printed on one side per sheet only it'd be hard to tell otherwise.

Still, as long as you can clearly see what goes where, which way up, and the part number, eh!?!? :o)

All the best

Yet? It's been like that for donkey's years! :-/

Yo to you to,

No, had another look and you are right it doesn't say they are photo copies but as the orginals as sent out by Hornby are printed black bordered in red I doubt 10p would cover colour photocopying. Printing out pdf files from the net is not hard. :-)

Indeed! Especally for older out of production locos.

What I did see on their interesting site was that the Service Sheets they were offering were from number 200 upwards, I suppose this represents current and recent production. The ones on ebay are 147 downwards, useful if you want parts for an older loco.
