Martync Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I have always had a soft spot for the North Cornwall Minerals railway, ever since coming across an article in an old Model Railways magazine. I have tried to collect as many of the articles that I could find over the years. Having actually seen some of the locos and stock at the recent Warminster exhibition, I am now trying to collate as complete list as possible of Iain's articles concerning Tregarrick and it's eclectic locomotive roster. The results so far: Model Railways June 1978 Neilson Box Tanks Model Railways June 1979 Tregarrick Yard Model Railways November 1979 Hercules Model Railways December 1979 Progress Report Model Railways January 1981 Tregarrick Regained Model Railways February 1981 Tregarrick Regained 2 Model Railways June 1981 The Walrus and the Carpenter Model Railways February 1982 Tregarrick Tribulations Model Railway Constructor May 1980 Tregarrick – a brief history So far I have managed to find copies of all of the above, except the June 1978 MR. The introduction to the June 1979 article mentions descriptions of "several" locomotives in previous issues - I've only tracked down the June 1978 one, but are there others?? I know this is a bit geekie, but comments/information welcomed!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martync Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Some further interweb research has uncovered the fact that Narrow Gauge and Industrial Review Issue 95 contains a retrospective of Tregarrick - and it's still available!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davknigh Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Apparently Iain has been running the NCM stock on Trerice at recent exhibitions. Cheers, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martync Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Have now tracked down many of these magazines. The one I can't find anywhere is Model Railways for June 1978. Any ideas where I might find one?? Have trawled through ebay and Magazine Exchange with no luck. Could anyone possible scan and send the article on the Neilson Box tanks in this issue??

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted February 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2020 "An Injun Fa' the Mineral" was an article in "Practical Model Railways" during 1984, but not sure exactly which issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted February 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) The North Cornwall Mineral was always one of my favourites and a huge influence on my own modelling - in particular my North Somerset Light projects - Tucking Mill and William Smith's Wharf to date. Iain brought some of the locos up to Larkrail a few years and they are seen here posed on the under construction Wharf alongside a pair of 2mm models of Bodmin. I'd love a Neilson box tank in 2mm like Pioneer but I suspect something like Hercules is a more realistic prospect!
