RMweb Gold ruggedpeak Posted August 15, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2017 Arrived in the post the other day. Really like this issue, especially the longer articles like the ones about Paul Rolley and Digitrains. Haven't read the layout bits yet but Lomond looks really good. However............for some reason the typesetting has gone to pot. Normally magazines have the type offset by about 8-9mm from the centre of the pages. This months mag it is only about 5mm and it makes reading the print copy problematic as you have to pull the mag apart and flatten the pages to read it comfortably, or keep twisting your head to see all the text. Hopefully this is just a one off printing problem but spoilt the reading and was very noticeable as soon as I started reading. So much so I got the ruler out to compare with last month's BRM and Model Rail! Both were the usual 8-9mm so that even with the natural curve from the spine all the text is visible. Hopefully it will be sorted for next month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted August 16, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 16, 2017 Got this in the post yesterday (earlier than normal, so a pleasant surprise!), and my lad wanted to know what layout had the Blue Pullman on? There didnt seem to be a caption for the cover pic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 my lad wanted to know what layout had the Blue Pullman on? There didnt seem to be a caption for the cover pic? The BP is on John Spence and Steve Weston's 'Melton Mowbray North' which is in the mag - they came up with a tenuous justification for one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted August 19, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2017 99p at Tibshelf services on the M1 but meant I didn't buy it in my local model shop (don't worry - I bought 2 other mags I don't usually buy to make up). Of course if Hornby or Bachmann started flogging their stuff at 75% discount in WHS there would be righteous indignation about them undermining the model trade but presumably this doesn't apply to the model press .....

Jongudmund Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Also in the supermarkets as a bundle with a free copy of Narrow Gauge Railways. I bought that first then saw the 99p versions in Smiths. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
