As usual, there will be layouts, trade stands and demonstrations taking place, with the emphasis on demonstrations. Layouts include both EM gauge and 2mmFS. Trade stands include the EMGS Stores. Demonstrations will cover many areas of Railway modelling.

I purchased the digital edition in addition to the paper subscription, for 2 years in order to be able to read them at any time on my laptop, which runs Windows 7 Professional. Then PocketMags changed the s/w and I can now no longer read what I have paid for. (I'm aware that I can still read them on-line, but that doesn't help when the Internet is not available.) The result - I stopped my digital subscription! That also applied to Backtrack, which I changed from paper to digital. Most other emags I get support older versions of Windows (and I seem to remember reading some time ago that a large number of Windows users were still on Windows 7), so why not Pocketmags? MREMAG is supplying their emag in a format which is supported on Windows 7, so I can download that and read it whenever I want. Perhaps Warners need to look more closely at their digital suppliers. As for 3D, while I admire the technology used, I find the results too crude. 2D photos taken by Andy York and Tony Wright appear far better in my view.

I have just received my model. APC first emailed me with delivery promised for Monday, but the tracking did not work as others have found. I received a second email this morning and the delivery arrived within the timescale set. I had also checked the tracking and that worked too. The only problem was that it was addressed to Hughes, not myself, but I have accpeted it since it was the correct order and address. I am now trying to work out how to get into the packaging, which I think requires a post grad degree in undoing packaging.

Will you be making the chassis kit available to those of us who bought the Harton and a Tenshodo earlier? I for one would certainly buy one.
