Dicky W Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hello all Just in case if forget in the run-up to 'Ally Pally' - here's what's inside May's magazine: News and product reviews What's coming up from Bachmann and Farish, Hejan JLTRT and Tower Model's latest. Dapol's 'Silver Bullets', OO Works' H Class, Skytrex GWR signal box and new O gauge curved point from Peco are all reviewed. Layout focus Loch Tat - the beatiful N gauge West Highland layout from Adrian Lambourne. Prospect Wharf - Mike Bell's fascinating LMS shunting layout in EM and The Dava Project - Iam Lamb's OO gauge community project which appeared at the London Festival of Railway Modelling. Project Paul Bason builds some low-relief stone-cast kits from Ten Commandments. Operation Phil Greaves concludes his description of prototype operation on his Rhyd-y-Clafdy layout. Rolling stock Nigel Burkin upgrades the Hornby (ex-Lima) Class 156, showing how you can improve the model without a full repaint. Locomotive construction Nick Dunhill builds the Gresley 'Hush-Hush' from a 7mm Ace Models kit. Freight only A heavy conversion job on the Farish N gauge 'Sealion' to produce a 'Whale' by Tony Buckton. Readers' layouts Tim Poole's South Herts Railway in OO, Marian Mills in N from Clive Taylor, an interesting Hornby conversion of an A3 from Simon Lathwell, Carssend- based on the North London line in OO from D G Stephens, a father and son N gauge layout from Jonathan Pryke and Brownhills station in OO from Michael J Cattell Toy Division Rather than models copying the prototype, how about things the other way round? Thought provoking stuff from David Brown. Regards Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi Richard, Sounds another interesting line-up there! I did enjoy the April issue, i must say! Sounds like we have another fine ambassador for the hobby there and a pretty good British (Hollywood) actor to boot! Mind, i used to know one Tony Curtis don't you know? As well as none other than Timothy Dalton himself! Cheers, John E. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 My subscription copy arrived today although I did have a quick flick through one on Tuesday at the local model shop where they had copies on sale. The 'Loch Tat' layout is a great example of N gauge modelling - a railway in a landscape, and what a superb high quality rendition of the landscape (and railway) it is. As an N gauge enthusiast I really look forward to seeing this at an exhibition sometime in the future. Overall this issue certainly gets the thumbs up from me. Well done. G.
