The title refers to a series of articles written by Ian Futers for Railway Modeller. For my personal use and reference, as a first step I am attempting to capture details of all of the articles. If anyone can add to the list below I would be grateful. 

 

My second step will be to get a copy of each article, either as a copy of RM or as an electronic document. I have underlined the articles that I already have, can/will anyone help in filling the gaps?

 

regards Rob

Fantastic, thanks for the quick and comprehensive response. Unfortunately I am not quite certain of your sorting order, No 5 is definitely Mallaig from March 2004 as I have a copy in front of me so I have inferred that Bridge of Orchy is probably No 4 from November 2003. Numbers 1 and 7 appear blank so I assume you do not have details of these? Please could you check and confirm my interpretation as below?

 

Thanks again, it will be really good to get a comprehensive list of these articles.

 

regards Rob

A little more digging off of my own back reveals the following updated list of articles, I am uncertain about no's 1, 3 and 4. I think 3 is Rannoch. I have found the later articles and confirmed the RM issue at magazineexchange.co.uk

 

Anyone care to fill in the gaps please?

Rob,

 

Have you seen a copy of Ian Futer’s two books on modelling Scottish Railways, which also feature articles printed in the Railway Modeller?

I have them both somewhere and can list the West Highland based layouts if that’s a help?

Thanks Marlyn

 

Yes, I have both books and very good they are too. If anyone is modelling Scotland then these are a first class reference guide.    

 

regards Rob
