jjnewitt Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 There were a few copies of this edition around the O Gauge show in Bristol on Sunday so it wont be long before it's widely available. Always look forward to the latest MRJ. Justin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mr.S.corn78 Posted January 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hi, Picked my copy up today and another cracking issue. A bit of something for most and well worth the cover price. Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaughan45 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Did notice that on page 2, second column in the Little Bytham article, due to a printers typo, GNR has become GWR (unless the GWR really ran that part of the east coast mainline - now that would be 'alternative facts!) Appears to be an excellent issue, especially the conversion of the Dapol 7mm Terrier to Scale 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Zero Gravitas Posted January 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2017 Another excellent issue that contains a fact which has genuinely terrified me... Martyn Welch's "The Art of Weathering" was published 24 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds more like a case of "alternative geography", and all achieved without the blessings of SatNav. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Lamb Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Very good. Canada street is most definitely a can't get enough of it layout. Photos of Little Bytham show a well known layout in a new light and some unexpected details. No need to comment on the text by the author and owner. As for the editorial. I smiled to myself to read about sausages. Love it. One complaint. When is the second instalment of the Britannia article coming? Bernard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killybegs Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 One complaint. When is the second instalment of the Britannia article coming? Bernard A very good question.

davknigh Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I vote that from here forward, 'Rule 1' is to known as 'alternative facts' Chris Ah, but as seen on this forum many times there actually is a "rule 1" whereas alternative facts are just terminological inexactitudes.

Appears to be an excellent issue, especially the conversion of the Dapol 7mm Terrier to Scale 7 Sounds like the Bigliest error ever. I'd note that the platforms of Little Bytham clearly have more people on them than any other previous railway inMRJ history. Period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete55 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Appears to be an excellent issue, especially the conversion of the Dapol 7mm Terrier to Scale 7 It would have been good if it had explained and shown how the Terrier was converted.......instead, all we know is he sent it to someone who did it for him and returned within a couple of weeks.....so non the wiser. Not much use really! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much use really! I suspect that a lathe was involved, but this would surely have been a rather different article (if done properly): it would unreasonable to ask Martyn to describe a process he hadn't done himself. That said, it would be a good opportunity for a follow up article with more of these 7mm RTR items becoming available. Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent descriptive captioning including paint reference numbers so one can try for ones self. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
