I think it is right for people who actually have money invested to be complaining.
How I'd like to inject some time out.
The timing of all this is very hard for all parties concerned.

"I have had some personal dramas over the last few months and I ask your indulgence. I also ask that fellow Christians pray for me and my issues, which include health and some depression items. I am not OK." Geoff Hope.
So the man has major issues that have come at the worng time for everyone. As a hobbiest I can feel for the guy, as I too have had mnedical issues, and ( I believe) lost my job of 23 years as part of a redundancy purge. If he is in no condition to be lucid and healthy. This would affect his business, and his handling of people, and what a time for it to occur with all the instence request for his time.
Into this mix are Ixion Models, not ready for all this either. They have no doubt been at sea with all this sudden demand, instand demand for information, with people already going for the lawyer ( as is their right )
So here's anpother development manhy may not realise:
Ian McIntyre posted in the facebook The Bigwato Model Railway Workshops group late last week:.
"At approximately 1100 yesterday morning (13/02), and within 100 metres of our meeting's location, there was a two car head on collision involving one of our members' vehicles. The cars involved were both written off. That members' car was the blue Mazda 6 of Phil Badger. Also in this car was Ross Balderson, Steve Mood, and Leon Bolton.
The following are the facts as I know them to be. Both Phil and Ross were transported by road ambulance to Bathurst Base Hospital for observation, and were released last night. Steve and Leon were airlifted by helicopter to Westmead Hospital with suspected multiple bone fractures, where they remain currently.
The six occupants of the other vehicle were a family from Sydney, and unfortunately one elderly lady did pass away at the scene.
I'm sure you all join with me in wishing our members a speedy recovery.
Found this ABC web story to back this up:

So if this is the Same Phil Badger, I would think he has other things on his mind other than model railway business. And by extension the businesses he deals with are without his total recall and time. I am sure ixion are hobbles by this.
all this action has been within 9 days. What a time. It is as I said right thaf people want answers, and they want their money secure. No, I have not had any invlovement nor know the players. No I do not think there is a con man or a baddy, So no question about me, All I'm doing is monitoring the thread.
I just wanted to add the human element to the discussion. I'm not a unfeeling robot, and not a cold hearted person. I know there are many many people more than angry. I also have no financial involvement at all in all this. Not a penny.
No need to reply, carry on....
