Andy Y Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Steve Flint's kindly dropped me a note to explain this... Due to a misunderstanding in the Peco Publications office, the mail chimp release referred to in this thread and concerning the November 2017 issue of Railway Modeller, has been released prematurely. [/size] We would like to apologise for any confusion this may cause. Full details of the October issue, which is out on the 14th of September, can be obtained from the Railway Modeller web page from 11th September (www.pecopublications.co.uk/railway-modeller.html) I'll lock the topic off for now to avoid confusion until after October;s issue has been published.

RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted October 12, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2017 Bought in Morrisons Cwmbran today at lunchtime - cover does not include a green Rat...but contents do include 7 pages of Canada Street. Hopefully I find time to read it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pint of Adnams Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Definitely a different cover from that on the original flyer in the first post but contents appear similar if not the same as advertised. Bought my copy in Morrison's this morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tractionman Posted October 14, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 14, 2017 Interesting editorial by Steve Flint picking up on the National Library of Scotland online historic OS mapping, something often featured in RMWeb posts. He mentions particularly the 25" OS that are available but could have added to this the other large scale map series also featured by NLS, particularly for the south-east of England, as well as the 1:10000 British military maps for Belgium and France for the First and Second World Wars. Still, if the editorial directs more modellers to the uses of historic maps and raises interest in them that can only be a good thing in my view. After all, map makers and modellers have something in common, scaling down the full size world into something smaller and somehow more appealing...

James Harrison Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Picked up a copy yesterday; another strong issue I think with a lot of interesting content. I thought Canada Street looked a little familiar and this morning I puzzled out why; it was in Model Railway Journal about four or five issues back. (I know this has been discussed before and I've no wish to re-ignite that debate). Still, nice to see it again. I particularly liked the article introducing the concept of unifrog turnouts and the review of Peco's bullhead same; this must be the first issue where the first thing I have turned to is the review pages. One of the things I really enjoy about the RM of late is how it's almost too much to take in in one reading; you need about a week's worth of spare reading time to go through and digest it.

rob D2 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I love Canada street, that's up there at the pinnacle of DE for me. Another good copy in general. I took slight umbrage with the oft recycled " comment " section running over the well trodden tracks of " be a modeller and make it, don't expect it RTR " . I'm not going there with that debate here but it's getting a tad old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS1977 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Couple of interesting bits in this month's: * A scratchbuilt model of one of the ex-Guinness Hibberd shunters (we have one of the prototypes at Wallingford - I've 'bashed' a model of it myself!) * An article by someone who sounds as if he attended my old school (though he would have left five years before I started).

ejstubbs Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Maybe. But perhaps it's still relevant in today's "want it, and want it now" world. It may be relevant - though relevant to precisely what I am not sure - but simply rehashing the same arguments ad nauseam doesn't really add anything to the debate, especially when they're over-seasoned with "in my day" nostalgia. There is genuine irony in the final paragraph of that article, where it states: "I know of no other hobby that covers such a wide range of facets or caters for such a wide range of skill levels," and then goes on to say, basically, that anyone not doing it more or less his way is wrong. The author may believe that people are 'missing out' on things that he finds rewarding, but that doesn't mean that other people don't find entirely legitimate satisfaction in other ways. Absent a genuine recognition that different things float different people's boats in different ways, there's a risk that the author will come across as having a rather blinkered view themselves. At least it's usually fairly easy to spot such diatribes within the first few sentences, and pass along to find something that hasn't been said a hundred times before.

rob D2 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yeah, spot on. If I was retired and had all the time int he world I'd make more stuff. I'm not, so to get any modelling done I have to be highly selective with what I spend time on. Making more parkside clams, makes no sense, when Hornby make one that's good enough and well painted for instance. And like you say it's an oxymoron at the end of it , to say , " it's a broad church " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
