RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted May 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 29, 2018 It's getting close to the announcement, anymore hints as to what it'll be? OK...just dusted off my Enigma machine to decrypt the message from High Command. With the tunes of "My Fair Lady" ringing in his ears....."By Geoerge,he's got it.....I think he's got it....." Nearly 24 sleepless hours..... Come on guys....this is just a bit of harmless fun and if it sells a few more copies then all to the good. Official Secrets Act prevents further disclosure. Well, I could tell you - but you probably wouldn't like what would happen next ... . Huw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Is it soon? After the Great Hornby Announcement Debacle, I've given up frothing for Lent. Next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Gad Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Yes the announcement will be soon. We will be making it when we get our copies of the magazine in the office so that hopefully we can make it to time with the subscribers getting their copies (providing the post all runs to time of course). It could be potentially the end of this week but certainly the beginning of next. Is it soon? After the Great Hornby Announcement Debacle, I've given up frothing for Lent. Next year. Considering that Lent finished in April feel free to start frothing again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Gad Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 What I can do this morning is announce that we have sold out of the Heljan Class 128 89431 'Red Star' Express Parcels locomotive. P.S This is not the same announcement at the start of this thread just for clarity! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 ... Considering that Lent finished in April feel free to start frothing again! I carefully noted that my Lenten pledge was a rollover.... (The Red Star 128 was a bit modern for me. If it ain't got whiskers...) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Gad Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Are you going to produce the teak set as well? Jason Darn it Chris I think we've been rumbled! Introducing the all new Model Rail coffee table. With a distinct teak finish it's the perfect table to rest your drink on whilst your operating your layout and for a limited time only it comes equipped with a magazine holder underneath in a safe area away from any potential spillages!

Great, You can do a feature in which each different part of the table is polished with an unnecessarily different, but increasingly expensive, scenic product in order to produce an essentially uniform effect. Seriously, I do enjoy your practical features, and it's not your fault I can't afford to try any of them out! Yours A Brassic, subscriber 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I think it was a tea(k) pot. It has nothing really to do with teak so don't expect a range of GNR teak carriages. I was just going on what Dibber posted earlier. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2018 I’ve had an email today saying my subs copy is on the way with a picture of the front cover with a couple of locos showing and the title “we’ve commissioned 2 locomotives” turn to page 11 Dunno if that was planned as it’s a week away from the announcement but we’ll done on taking the chance on the fell diesel and an 009 de winton coffee pot (Am I joking, you’ll just have to wait and see) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 2, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2018 I see a further potential clue has emerged elsewhere - on RMweb of all places. It wouldn't be fair to say where of course but it does rather neatly fit with my previous clues in this thread thereby indicating that either my crystal ball is working at 110% or I need a new one because this one has a ******* shaped crack in it. (Oops, that might be two clues, or on the other hand I might not be able to count or I missed a key or pressed one too many times/. Or it's not what I think it but might be a very useful alternative - possibly, or maybe not). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
