Model Rail being priced out!

 Too expensive Hobby?

The love of this at one time very popular hobby is now being priced out once more to make the forte of the rich and many businesses are closing because people are no longer buying new over priced models, even in the second-hand market prices are rising beyond the wise means of people living in an ever changing economic crises!

New models or train sets can set one back up to nine hundred pounds and basic are now all well over one-hundred pounds, putting young people off, when they can live in the virtual world of railroad games and building your own imaginary word?

All the manufacturers are guilty of the price hike, once they claimed that China would reduce the prices true or not they have made all the excuses to price the new generations out and a mass loss of sales this past Christmas proved true!

Boeing in trouble Again?

 Boeing 737-MAX-8.

Bad workmanship is believed to be behind the Air Alaska panel blow out that could have seen a child sucked out of the aircraft and killed!

Now over 171 of the type have been grounded for inspection world-wide and all of the type is reporting bad construction, this comes as a blow for the company as it unveils new aircraft the VS-1/2 that incorporates a new thinner wing, the introduction of the Boeing 777X and the re-introduction of the Boeing 747-8.

With sales that are returning to what they once were and the slacking off of its main competition Airbus, despite the improved sales on the A350-1000 and the smaller A220-300 no real new aircraft are coming to the fore?

But now with this manufacturing problem others like Embraer will take the market off the big two?
