GBMRG Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Time for issue 102 now ? Keith. And true to form the April publishing date has moved into the guess a date zone. I have seen on the web end of May, can anyone confirm? Best wishes, GBMRG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombe Barton Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 At a guess we'll know when someone posts that their subscription copy has arrived or someone spots it in Smiffs. This will then prompt a rush to said store. Or maybe this is what they meant when they said "occasional" publication. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 ... Or maybe this is what they meant when they said "occasional" publication. Going on that, publication of the GWRJ has always been more or less "occasional".... It'll be there when it's there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted May 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) GWJ 102 arrived in the shop today, so will now be going out to subscribers, other outlets and even WH Smiths branches. Apart from finishing off Snow Hill, Newbury and Castles in traffic, there is a very informative article on Collet bow ended coaches, with good drawings included - It'll be missed when its gone. I'll be bringing a good few to Railex at Aylesbury this coming weekend.. Simon Edited May 24, 2017 by Not Jeremy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith George Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 The final issue 103, was I believe due out on the 14th July, according to issue 102. So the unreliability is kept up to the very end.! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 So sad that no other organisation have not taken over this publication, it could have had a bright future in the right hands. I think it was uniquely Wild Swan; no other publisher could have carried it off with such panache to the extent that even its lateness became a trademark. The bright future is only as good as its contributors, and once they have run out of things to contribute..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

westerner Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Ah but as I mentioned about contributors, the joy of GWRJ is that many of the articles were written by GWR railwaymen and many other articles included their memories and reminiscences and unfortunately they are getting fewer and fewer.
