Sparta-rb Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hi everyone The second issue of Finescale railway Modelling Review is at the printers and is due out before Christmas. The contents are, once again, predominantly hands-on, illustrated every step of the way. They include: . A rake of Tyne Dock hoppers in 4mm, kit built by Pete Hill, largely using superglue. Amazing results. In contrast, David Brandreth gives full chapter-and-verse on soldering whitemetal, involving seriously handy techniques like flattening, splattering and drawing (no, me either!) A 7mm brass Drewry shunter gets repainted and weathered by Tim Shackleton, using many of the products and techniques developed by military modellers. Anyone who has seen the working crossing gates on 'Coldfair Green', the layout of the Norfolk & Suffolk Area Group of the S4 Society will know just how smooth and prototypical they are. Here was have the full works exposed and explained. A look at inset and inlaid track (in Proto:87) by someone we've always considered the maestro of trackwork, Brian Harrap. Finally - in terms of major articles - we have Jim Smith-Wrights model of the New Street Lamp Building, unquestionably one of the ugliest (and thus 'modelogenic') buildings on the UK network. Think Victorian style meets BR bodge. In addition, there is a look a various prototypes in our 'As It Was' section, lots of correspondence, plus news, notes and gossip. Many thanks for the overwhelming response to issue No 1, which is just about to go to a third reprint. The support and trust is very much appreciated.

Looking forward to that as I'm in the middle of doing exactly the same with 18 of them... John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcy Mane Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I wonder if the articles on soldering and gluing will stimulate a soldering versus super- gluing debate in the vein of the recent P4/EM flange deliberations? Being from the era when Kemilway advocated the assembly of their Standard 4 chassis using "IS12 or any other cyanoacrylate adhesive of similar viscosity" I look forward to Mr Hills article. I've still never decided what's the more frustrating? Burning my fingers or ending up with a wagon firmly glued to them! I'm also party to Petes views on using EM wheels on P4 track...

Catweasel Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yummy. Looking forward to this. I had a look at the Proto 4 track system a while back, but bottled out. Should be interesting. EM wheels on P4 track? Solves the Ultrascale supply problem and may give easier track building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparta-rb Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 On a couple of housekeeping points, the PayPal payment system through the Greystar website is set up to start from the current issue (still No 1 as I write this), but you can still pay by PayPal even if you want to start from, say, the next issue along. Just say so in the PayPal message box or drop me an email. Once we have reached issue No 4, the database will be a full record of subscribers and where they are, so you will be able to pay by PayPal (or any other way) confident that we already know where you're ongoing subscription begins. Also some subscribers have already had emails from us via PayPal saying that their 'automatic recurring payments' have been cancelled, and more such email will follow in due course. Just to re-iterate, this does NOT mean subscriptions have been cancelled, only that PayPal's authorisation to pay us again in a year's time has been stopped. You will get a standard reminder with the last magazine in your subscription cycle and the decision to renew or not will be yours, not PayPal's. Using PayPal is simple and convenient, that's for sure, but we feel duty-bound to resist their drive for world domination! Regards Bob B Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 the maestro of trackwork, Brian Harrap. The modelling press is turning into one enormous Zobfest. How long before we're all wearing those aprons? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams442T Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Good to see this taken out of the 'Other Magazines' and given its own 'slot'. O' course all we need now is for certain folks (no names, but see above...........) to start up another debate and we could give the MRJ thread a run for it's money!

43078shildoncountydurham Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hi all, Ordered last week through the PayPal link, received today but it's the first issue when asked for the new issue, e-mailed them but received a routing server failure! Any help please Regards Craig Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sykes Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Craig, I don't think the second issue has been published yet. In a post recently Bob Barlow said it was at the printers and would be out before Christmas. I'm sure if you try emailing them again it will get sorted out.

Talltim Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Mine arrived this morning too, good to get another fix of Harrap, but in a way that doesn't duplicate MRJ. Those iron or hoppers look very nice work too. It almost seems a pity to hide that level crossing mechanism Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
