following the renaming of its parent company , bl , in 1986 to the rover group , and the subsequent sell - off of its truck and bus businesses , and takeover in 1988 by british aerospace , and then in 1995 by bmw , arg was eventually sold back into private ownership and became mg rover .
by the late 1980s , british aerospace had become owner of what was once british leyland , rover’s parent company . bmw bought the company in 1994 , but after years of heavy losses , broke it up in 2000 . bmw kept the mini brand . land rover went to ford , which already owned jaguar , while the mg and rover brands were sold to a group of british investors for 10 pounds . but five years later on april 4 , 2005 , mg rover ran out of money .
that’s right , nick . since mg rover has gone out of business in 2006 they haven’t produced or sold a car in europe . for more recent sales data of the “reborn” mg brand under its new chinese ownership , please check my page on mg nanjing sales statistics .
the first car to be produced after the firm was privatised and renamed rover group . it replaced the mark i , which was driven by hyacinth bucket in television’s keeping up appearances .
the home and away kit will feature the rover and mg brands respectively rather than having mg rover group on both . the home kit is available for order as of today and goes on sale in the club shop on 15 july . mg rover sales & marketing director , john sanders added :
by separating the two brands between home and away kits we are maintaining the individuality of both brands . of course this sponsorship will help contribute to the world - wide awareness and desirability of our two brands .
first rover car built at coventry factory . within two years the rover motor company ltd was building 750 cars a year
this case again involved several interested parties . standard chartered was seeking to make a claim as representative member of the standard chartered vat group for overpaid vat in respect of supplies made by various companies before they became members of the standard chartered vat group . those companies were subsequently acquired by lloyds , and lloyds was seeking to make a claim for overpaid vat in respect of supplies made by those companies while they were members of the standard chartered vat group . the standard chartered vat group continues to exist .
despite falling sales and the corresponding financial troubles , mg rover was not afraid to invest into expensive low - volume halo cars like the mg x - power sv ( pictured ) and the rover 75 v8 / mg zt 260 , which were converted from front wheel drive to rear wheel drive and fitted with a ford mustang v8 engine .

mg rover has handed the task of promoting the newly rebranded company in the uk to steve robertson , a former mini brand marketer .
this is no april fool ' s joke . the purchase options are available on all new mg and rover cars registered between 1 april and 30 june 2003 . lpg band 4 conversions are available on all 1 . 6 - and 1 . 8 - litre rover and mg saloon cars ( excluding the mg zr 160 / express 160 ) .

2005 / 06 nanjing automobile group announces to build cars at longbridge after signing a deal to lease the site for 33 years .
* 2007 : saic and nanjing automobile group announce a tie - up and a possible merger which is completed on 26 december .
commenting on the rover brand association with the championships , steve robertson , general manager brand strategy & communications , mg rover group limited said :
working with the iaaf on such a prestigious event in the midlands is a great privilege . it continues our ongoing investment to promote and develop british athletics on a truly international stage .
the successful sale of rover cars to the phoenix consortium prevented the closure of the rover plant in birmingham . this was the result of the negotiations between the bmw group and the phoenix consortium led by john towers that were successfully concluded in may 2000 .
top tv detective , john nettles , was at mg rover group , longbridge to formally unveil a recreation of lord austin ' s original office with john parkinson , managing director xpart ltd and former austin apprentice . the office has been hidden from public view until now .
was bought for a nominal £10 in may 2000 by a specially - assembled group of businessmen known as the phoenix consortium . the consortium was headed by ex - rover chief executive john towers .
british motor museum at gaydon , warwickshire : archive includes business records , publicity material and technical documents re the companies formerly included in the rover group ( including austin , morris and standard ) .
an inquiry was set up by the government after mg rover went into administration on april 8 2005 owing creditors nearly £1 . 3 billion .
mike hodge : ' ' i fully endorse this action and support being provided to ex mg rover employees . the ex mg rover directors have consistently avoided answering questions and have hidden behind legal curtains . it is time that every question asked was fully and openly answered . ' '
prime minister tony blair said £150m was being made available to help those being made redundant at mg rover and the companies that supply it .
charles kennedy , leader of the liberal democrats , said the government should have acted sooner to try to secure mg rover ' s future .
the inspectors said :
we conclude that the reason why the leaseplan company was to be owned by the phoenix partnership ( and not [ the mg rover group ] ) was that the four members of the phoenix consortium saw an opportunity to make money for themselves .
consumer offers have traditionally been focused on one or two key elements such as free insurance or a low cost finance package . mg rover group were first to offer the innovative and popular ‘free fuel’ campaign and this new approach recognises that every customer has a different purchase requirement .
mg rover will display the new mg xpower sv sportscar , which goes on sale in september , the full mg product range , some in special ' monogram ' paintwork and other interesting xpower competition mgs , too . the euro ncap crash performing mg tf will also be displayed . engineers who developed its high - ranking safety performance will be on hand to answer any questions .
many car brands that were formerly the property of british leyland passed on to mg rover . the brands of alvis and jaguar ( including daimler and lanchester , as well as the american rights to vanden plas ) were sold off by british leyland before it became rover group , and land rover was sold to ford in the bmw days . it was announced in september 2006 that the rover brand would be sold by bmw to ford for an undisclosed fee . < ref > { { # if : rover brand name passes to ford
covered in dust , these mg rover door handles are destined to never be attached the the shells of the cars . production at the longbridge plant in birmingham was massively scaled back after mg rover collapsed in 2005 - meaning that the factory has been almost entirely unused over the past decade
administrators for mg rover group ltd . said yesterday that the collapsed british auto maker has been bought by chinese car maker nanjing automobile group corp . pricewaterhousecoopers , which took over administration of rover when the auto maker filed for bankruptcy in april , said nanjing had bought the assets of both mg rover and its engine - producing subsidiary powertrain ltd . the terms were not disclosed and pwc officials did not immediately return calls for comment . nanjing had faced two competitors in its bid to buy rover ' s assets - - a similar offer from china ' s state - owned shanghai automotive industry corp . , and an offer by british businessman david james to buy two parts of the company .
chinese carmaker nanjing automotive has secured ownership of mg rover for an unknown sum , after a three - way bidding battle spread over three months .
the cafe shut when mg rover closed down and there is nowhere else for me to get my sandwiches at lunchtime ,
he said .
a decade ago , mg rover shut its factory doors for good . we go back to the community it left behind and see how it survived
there were fears that by using the rover platform we were creating an mg maestro , but our engineers have made the mgs sufficiently different .
in an effort to boost uk sales , mg rover has become the first major car company to offer new cars for sale via the virgin cars web site . this is being done with the participation of two of its dealers - although one of these is fully owned by mg rover .
between april and july 2005 , pwc worked hard to find a buyer for the assets of mg rover , speaking – initially – to over 200 interested parties , before whittling the prospective candidates down to the final winner : nanjing . however , if rover’s future at longbridge looks very uncertain , there is a real possibility of the mg and austin marques being revived by the company’s new owner , nanjing automobile ( group ) corporation .
the mg brand was bought by saic , china ' s largest vehicle manufacturer .
analysts see the mg sports car brand as perhaps the most valuable asset left .
1983 : launch of austin maestro , which replaces the 10 - year - old allegro . the mg badge is used for the mg maestro 1600 sports model .
the nac family includes mg , austin , and yuejin ( light trucks ) .
the bmw group and phoenix consortium signed and completed the purchase contracts in london . the symbolic purchase price is 10 gbp . phoenix will be taking responsibility for the development , production and distribution of rover cars . in addition , phoenix will aquire the mg brand and other heritage brands .
mike wilson may have been the chief executive of a top - ranking financial advisory group , but he did not conform to . . .
financially , the contribution this car will make to the [ bmw ] group is perfectly acceptable ,
insists mr houghton - berry .


ageia , founded in 2002 , was a fabless semiconductor company .

ageia acquired novodex , the company who created physx – a physics processing unit chip capable of performing game physics calculations much faster than general purpose cpus ; they also licensed out the physx sdk ( formerly novodex sdk ) , a large physics middleware library for game production .

ageia was noted as being the first company to develop hardware designed to offload calculation of video game physics from the cpu to a separate chip .

prior to this , solutions from ati and nvidia had not been planned nor announced .

soon after the ageia implementation of their physx processor , nvidia and ati announced their own physics implementations .

1 september 2005 , ageia acquires meqon , a physics development company based in sweden .

known for its forward-looking features and multi-platform support , meqon earned international acclaim in the games world for its physics technology incorporated in 3d realms ’ duke nukem forever and saber interactive ’s timeshift .

on february 4 , 2008 , nvidia announced that it would acquire ageia .

on february 13 , 2008 , the merger was finalized .

the physx engine is now known as nvidia physx .

parkzone is a brand , which has recently been shut down , of intermediate-level , radio controlled electric model aircraft produced and distributed by american hobby manufacturer horizon hobby of champaign , illinois , united states .

the name is taken from the term park flyer , denoting a relatively small , and unobtrusive model that can be flown in a park .

models that represent the parkzone lineup include various scale aircraft , such as the p-51d mustang , f4f wildcat , f4u corsair , and spitfire , as well as several non-scale sport aircraft .

many of these use electronics that may be used in other park flyers and use lithium polymer batteries .

us-based hobby retail chain hobbytown usa of lincoln , nebraska named parkzone as its " 2005 hobby company of the year . "

parkzone offers a purchasing option called " bind n ' fly " or " bnf " , which includes everything needed to fly the aircraft , except the radio transmitter .

this allows those who already own spektrum brand transmitters to link or " bind " their transmitter to the aircraft and fly without needing to purchase an additional transmitter or receiver crystal .

on september 1 , 2009 , a parkzone sukhoi su-26m ultra-micro indoor/outdoor model flown by an unknown pilot delayed the top of the sixth inning of a baseball game between the los angeles dodgers and arizona diamondbacks at dodger stadium .

the plane eventually crashed near the diamondbacks ' dugout ; diamondbacks utility infielder augie ojeda picked up the model and destroyed it so that play could resume .

the current model lineup includes the sukhoi su-29mm , sport cub , artizan , fw-190 a-8 , t-28 trojan , radian , and radian pro .

in addition there is an ultra-micro line consisting of an ultra micro icon a-5 , p-5d mustang , t-28 trojan , night vapor , and the ember 2 .

several of these models have highly detailed scale features , removable landing gear , three - or four-channel operation , and various aftermarket add-ons and upgrades .

discontinued aircraft include the typhoon 3d sport plane , super decathlon , bf-109 , fw-190 , cessna 210 , citabria , etomic vapor slow flyer , and slo-v slow flyer .

broadway limited imports , llc ( bli ) designs and manufactures limited-run ho scale and n scale model railroad locomotives and rolling stock .

bli products produced in extremely limited quantities , are equipped with digital command control decoders and the ability to reproduce the recorded sounds of actual trains .

the company was founded in 2001 by anton wenzel , bob zimet and robert grubba .

in 2004 , grubba bought out the interest of his partners , moving the company to ormond beach , florida the following year .

on april 8 , 2007 , bli combined their website with precision craft models , inc . .

the company expanded its offering in 2007 with the addition of its " blueline " product line .

the blueline ho-scale train models offer digital sound systems but lack the dcc remote control and sell for about half the price of the company 's paragon series models .

the purchaser can add the remote control later with a plug-in decoder module .

in 2009 , the offered product line expanded again .

the new paragon2 line utilizes an integrated dcc decoder that can be operated on dc track as well , as well as dcc sound capability and steam generating units on many locomotives .

the launch of the paragon2 line also resulted in bli being sued by another model train company , mike 's train house inc. for perceived violation of its patents related to model train sound systems , a claim which bli vehemently denied .

broadway limited won this lawsuit in a summary judgement in 2011 .

in 2015 the company introduced rolling thunder , us patent # 7,634,411 , a system that transmits the low frequency bass sounds from a locomotive to a subwoofer located beneath the model train layout .

the bass sounds play in synchronization with the audio as it plays through the on-board speakers housed in the locomotive .

n livery ) # 6075 , being in australia i had never seen a broadway product , only on the web . i took the plunge , waited 3 wee
* * - paragon3 locomotives will operate with normal sounds even without the rolling thundertm subwoofer / receiver kit . however , sound frequency response will be limited to those made from the onboard speakers .
front ( forgot her name ) showed us around and talked me into buying a water tower with sound . had to hook it up last night to see it work , only thing i could see wrong was when the spout came down on a taller tender it would tip the tower over , so have to add about an inch or so under it . otherwise love it . thanks again to larry . bob has a - great thing going here with broadway . christine and kenneth cole .

paragon3 with rolling thunder tm is our flagship line of locomotives featuring our most advanced sound and drive technology ever . wireless synchronization of full frequency bass sounds that cannot be generated from standard model - mounted speakers makes a new realm of realism a reality .
premium sound equipped locomotives with puffing smoke ( on most equipped steamers ) , superb detail and ultra - smooth slow speed characteristics . the cream of the crop in ho trains .
our brass - hybrid , or hybrid for short , locomotives are one of the best values in ho trains . made of mostly brass , these locomotives have detail levels found only on brass locomotives with running characteristics only found on plastic models . it ' s the best of both worlds at an out of this world low price .
here , you ' ll find great deals on refurbished products that have our full , as - new warranty .
the official promo video everyone ' s been waiting foris here . . . see the rolling thunder system in action ! ( don ' t watch . . .
w we are still amazed by the realistic sounds our models can produce . yet when we hear a real locomotive , we notice the deep rumbling sounds that even our advanced model locomotives simply could not reproduce , until now .
how does it work ? the speakers in most ho scale locomotives will only reproduce sounds above approximately 600 hertz . the human ear can detect sounds between 20 to 20 , 000 hertz , and we can feel sounds at even lower frequencies . many of the sounds real trains make are in the lower frequencies that models cannot reproduce . this is due to the tiny speakers which cannot move enough air . to overcome this shortcoming , paragon3 incorporates a cutting edge radio transmitter system we call rolling thundertm that sends the low frequency sounds to a specially designed receiver and subwoofer under your layout . since low frequency sounds have a longer wavelength , it is difficult for the human ear to detect the direction of the source . the result is that while the locomotive moves around the layout , you can hear the high frequency sounds coming from the locomotive , and the low frequency sounds from the subwoofer - - all perfectly synchronized to the motion of the locomotive and the puffing of the smoke , and your ears will perceive the full array of sound as coming from the model !
on a large layout , where a locomotive can be very far from the subwoofer , the rolling thundertm system detects the distance and fades out the subwoofer until the locomotive gets close again , or , if another locomotive is in range , it will connect automatically to the subwoofer and begin playing its sounds at levels appropriate to its distance to the subwoofer .
the system consists of the paragon3 sound system in the locomotive , with its integral rolling thundertm transmitter , a rolling thundertm receiver box under the layout , and a powered subwoofer .
• rolling thundertm receiver works with any rolling thundertm equipped paragon3 locomotive • rolling thundertm works with dc or dcc layouts . just plug it in . • 25 times more powerful than typical model train sound systems for sounds you can feel • 2 available transmission frequencies - to prevent wireless interference • 29 available channels per frequency - for additional wireless interference prevention • actual sounds of each locomotive play through subwoofer • subwoofer sounds are perfectly synchronized to the locomotive movement , sound effects and smoke , if applicable • subwoofer frequency response range from 20 to 600 hz • subwoofer size 15 . 75 x 17 . 75 x 8 . 25 inches • 8 inch polycarbonate cone • subwoofer volume goes to 11

if i had to nitpick it would be that the last few engines i have acquired ( 2 up ac6000s , a cp 2 - 8 - 0 , a up 4 - 6 - 6 - 4 , and the s2 turbine ) have not come with cab figures . however this is not a huge issue as the engines can easily accept their figures with little to no modificati
on needed to access the cabs save for a pair of screws or a handrail that needs removing . anyway , there have been only two instances with my 6 years of bli products where i have had to send an engine in for repairs and even then they were minor ( a non - functi
driver spring on the j1a ) . both times the level of costumer service has been simply wonderful .
love the engines and attention to detail , but the sound is lacking a bit . compared to what 3rd party sound decoder companies ( such as tcs and esu ) are doing , bli is really lacking . my first steam loco
motive was a bli 2 - 8 - 2 , and i really do love the quality and attention to detail on the models . the rolling thunder system is a very neat concept , none the less .
stics to other 4 - 6 - 2s in your fleet . it would also be neat to see some hon3 offerings down the road .
ed with the sound . it sounds worse then my cheap bachmann . $ 300 for a smoking , muffled piece of garbage . i can ' t even begin to tell you how bad the so
loco you expect me to take time off work to find out about a problem with your loco i dont think so . . worst customer service in the world
ot really a negative ) is that the factory sound levels are much too high out of the box and need to be turned down . at cv value of 50 the sound is very clean and clear . i am very happy with my purchase !
s in the past month . 2 prewar pennsy k4 ' s and 2 m1a ' s , one which was a birthday present from my girlfriend
only one of the m1a ' s actually arrived in one piece but still damaged as the keystone number plate was cracked and split down the middle . love the sound and detail of paragon 3 . all locomotive
. i have a paragon 2 post war k4 which i ordered off ebay several years ago . it arrived in one piece , no broken parts and runs like a champ . and with b . l . i . doing away with the 2 year warranty and going back to a 1 year warranty , that raises fears and concerns for future b . l . l . locomotive
purchased an n scale ( csx ) ac6000cw - was dead out of the box ! ! ! my dealer said bring it in and we will test it . they did - only to confirm it was dead ( trips the dcc breaker ) . so they pull another on
e out ( a up ) , its was also dead out of the box . so they give me another one a week later and tell me that it tested good ( for 5 min ) , i take it home and it lasts another 20 min before acting odd ( light flickering
and odd sounds ) then tripping the dcc breaker . i lift up and quickly notice an electronic
burnt smell . i call the shop and guess what , another customer has brought his back for the same issues - shop owner says he ' s sitting on $ 1 , 000 . 00 in defective bli products now with 3 unhappy customers !
! ! bli - what is going on ? ? ? ? love the look of this unit , but they need to operate to be worth $ 200 . 00 ! ! !
d the new ho ge ac6000 dcc with smoke and sound . well worth the wait . i had to fine tune the couplers but that is normal . very pleased with the sound , the lights and all of the other program
had a problem with my ac6000 but my stockist sorted ! the loco is great with brilliant sound .
i just received my great northern s2 . getting it out of the box , i found it to be quite a spectacula
r model . however , getting it to the tracks was a different story . first , i noticed the locomotive
self goes crooked down the tracks . i ' ve tried shuffling and twisting the wires , but to no avail . the vestibule does not line up .
s are running . when i tried operating an entirely different train , the s2 would coast to a stop and begin to run backwards .
al and there was a problem with decoder . took it back to dealer and got an intermount
er . but i have never had an engine act up before like my l & ne l1 . these are the cons .
ut , it would go through all the sound effects it had installed in it . from spring time birds singing , shoveling ,
air pump , random noises , and who knows what ; it would sit there and loop forever . the operation standpoint
wasn ' t so good , it had its days . running at track speed , it would stop all of a sudden without touching the throttle , make reverser sounds ( 8 or 9 times ) , then would start to play all sounds installed on the engine . and sometimes instead of sounds playing , it would reverse at full speed with no response to the throttle . then having to grab it off the layout before it hit the floor . i heard someone once refer to paragon 3 as rolling blunder .
attention to detail is amazing . they have ever detail down to the wire , all the way down to the back head . these new locomotive
run very smooth ( when they want too ) compared to paragon 2 . i love having the cab light and marker lights .
also being die cast makes it a puller . it easily pulls a 50 car train with ease , all are cars being weighted .
s sent theirs back and they returned with nothing resolved . so instead i replaced the paragon 3 rolling thunder with a tcs wowsound v4 .
i own a 1938 dreyfuss hudson which i ran around the christmas tree over the holiday . somewhere along the way the front pilot plate disappeare
off while i was cleaning it and didn ' t notice until too late . i called up parts and without hesitation
s and have the intent to purchase more . i ' d also like to thank the customer support and parts department
n to replace damaged parts . keep up the good work ! hopefully you guys will be releasing a paragon 3 n & w j fairly soon ?
was down there yesterday to have them reprogram an engine , larry did a good job , had it done in no time . my wife and i drove down from jacksonvil
anyone up for a round of “name that sample arrival” ? scale and prototype .
