Paxton Road in print...

For those of you who are not subscribers to Traction and haven't seen the 2010/2011 annual I'm pleased to share that Paxton Road is the 'modelling' feature in this years publication. I was chuffed to bits when Richard asked me to write a few words and take some photos for the annual.

On top of the modelling mini-section there are a whole host of 'classic' traction articles spanning the decades - all of which I found a good read and of particular interest is the Cornish China Clay branch - something I might consider as another 'one day' project now!

With Christmas approaching it's a good extra purchase to kill a few hours on Christmas day, or as a stocking filler for a friend or family member. Although I'm biased (as I'm in print) I do reckon it's worth the money - not much more than a regular magazine these days with a lot of content and very little advertising :)

Let me know if you've read or seen it and what you think :) Comments questions and improvement suggestions always welcome!

Congratulations James. Despite all the web stuff I imagine there is still something special about being published in hardcopy!

 

Can I ask if there were any technical specifications for taking the photos, ie in terms of image size/quality etc? I'm considering sending in some photos for one of the mags but am not sure what is required in those respects.

Congratulations James - I had a photo of Tanis appear in a "convention roundup" kind of article and I was soo proud, I can only imagine what it's like to get a whole article :) I'll have to see if I can track down a copy over here.

Thankyou all for the kind words. Yes Mikkel it is very satisfying seeing it in a magazine. All I can suggest is send some low res snaps in with your article idea to an editor. I've found each of the mags has different expectations and requirements.
