RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted April 5, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Snap! Likewise. The cover contents summary is more dramatic: MARTYN WELCH ON THE UNPAINTED WAGON - mind is boggling... MODELLING ROAD SURFACES - the latest in tarmac couture. NO Great Western... No Trellis.

vaughan45 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Excellent issue with Barry Norman in the editorial chair. All articles had something of interest for me. Will enjoy reading properly with a glass of something 'old & filthy' later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 5, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) A great edition again, but a shame that someone felt the need to criticise an aspect of the lovely Midland Railway goods office in the previous issue.

chrisf Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Postie brought mine some time after the crack of noon. On first inspection I reckon that Martyn Welch's article on unpainted wood will become very well thumbed over the years. The article on improving certain rtr wagons is intriguing. The small suppliers forum listed in the contents turned out to be an ad for Expo-EM so I suppose that is nearly right. Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I always liked about his Art of Weathering book was that all the techniques used bog standard equipment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Lamb Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 A great edition again, but a shame that someone felt the need to criticise an aspect of the lovely Midland Railway goods office in the previous issue. But is that not one of the attractions of MRJ? There is always an expert in any field who can add to the published information. In this case we have an expert on lead flashing. Nowt wrong with that as I see it. Particularly as he does seem to be right. Generally a good read so far. But minor East Anglian twigs have always rocked my boat so I am easily satisfied.

John_Hughes Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 It turned up in the usual smart envelope just before lunch, thus giving me time to at least thumb through it. Looks to be excellent and well-worth the wait, as always. I'll try to give it a 'first real read' this evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwealleans Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I enjoyed both the wagon articles and will undoubtedly refer to both again. However, I have a recollection, which I believe originated in John Hayes' The 4mm Coal Wagon that the clips for the capping strips on sides and ends were a postwar addition. Can anyone else confirm or correct me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Accompanied by his own model to show the discrepancies? Mike. It's perspective modelling - hence the apparent rakish slope...

RMweb Premium PMP Posted April 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2018 The Oxford 7 plank does need a bit of work, but if you want to make a big four RCH seven plank, there’s no easier starting point. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRat Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Pleasantly surprised today... Nipped into my local Indy newsagents to buy some train porn to be greeted with..... "We've got you a copy of that train mag you're always asking for." Nice. Saves me a drive into the Muff and a visit to Smiffs, a shop I love to loathe! As an aside, I'm still looking to ditch a load of old ones, just no room at the inn....if anyone is interested, I think they are all there.

RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted April 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 7, 2018 MRJ entering the brave new world of CAD and 3D printing. Whatever next. A nice issue with some highly practical "how to" articles from very good modellers. Given the choice between articles on technology and manufacturing process done on machines or something hand crafted, there is no contest for me but in this issue, we have both. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
