Tony Davis Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 We get a delivery at the model railway club, people seem to take a few copies each to distribute to friends and interested parties. I read it, and like other publications, not every article interests me, but some do. My thought is that it's another source of info, and if it does anything to attract or keep people in the hobby then it is to be welcomed. The business model is the concern of the publishers and not my worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold griffgriff Posted September 30, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 30, 2017 Another edition has arrived at my local model emporium. It seems to have devolved a bit, being of newspaper format (complete with poor quality chip wrapper paper) presumably to reduce costs? I can't really see this lasting much longer. I think it's a wise evolution... It's printed in house to keep the costs down and it relies on advertisement revenue so as long as they are picked up by the punters then they might have found a tidy margin. It's certainly an original concept in model railway print media. Griff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 My mum gave me the October edition she picked up at chinnor. Not bad for a free read and better than most other things printed on newspaper ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Brasher Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I was pleased to see that they published an article about my layout on page 35 of the October issue in 'Layouts We Love'. I had a nice email from the editor Sarah Palmer encouraging me to submit my report. I sent several low quality images to choose from and told her that I would send her high quality images of the ones she wanted to publish. She published a couple of low quality images and they turned out all right. On page 33 is a letter from John Arkell. I was in the Orpington and District Model Railway Club with him when he worked with Airfix. The explanation about what happened to the Kitmaster MK1 coach tools was interesting.

Similar to what Simon Kohler said about various tools stored at the back of the warehouse at Margate. I forgot. The current issue of The Raiway Magazine has a copy of the freebie bagged with it.

Hroth Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Not in my subscription copy. Sorry to hear that, it seems to have been bagged with copies to the normal retail channels. The September issue of the freebie was also bagged with the October issue of "Rail Express", at WHS at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
