| John Rudd:
I've just joined in a discussion on the price of printed plans over on the MEW website.... Seems things are hotting up a little.........my thoughts are there if any one wants to join in... but does anyone here have any comments to make on plan prices? I believe in free enterprise but taking the p*ss is beyond a joke.. (Dons flack jacket.........) They say knowledge is power.... So if I said to an earlier poster asking about using an external pot on his vfd, 'I'll sell you the info' how does that help the community? Does DB ask for Royalties on his 'edu vids'? Discuss if you wish |

John Could you please give me a link to the plans discussion. I don't follow things as close over there as I do on MadModder but I would like to see what they are about. I'll be back later to make a comment once I see what they are up too. :coffee: Cheers :beer: Don |

Hi John My thoughts ,,,,,,,,, £50 for a set of traction engine or loco plans is about right , say 15 sheets thats £3.33 a sheet ,,,,,,,still cheaper than one copy of Model engineer ,(witch is just a load of crap now a days , more adds than out else ). Maybe if folk are un happy at the price ,,,,,,,,,,,,maybe they should have ago at drawing there own plans ,there "only bits of paper" Link for Don http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=85129 Rob |

That about sums it up Rob I bought some plans from "Ray Hasbruck" sadly he is no longer with us The price I was very little more than the cost of the printing Personally I tend to build things from scetches and pictures John |
