Penlan Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) And I think Barry Norman's Editorial re. the Ch. 5 programme is very good, and certainly supports my view of it.Culrain's description is very good too, but just needs to trim that stray hair on the road - top picture page 210, such is the joy of close up photography .Excellent edition.

RMweb Gold Dan Randall Posted November 21, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2018 My copy was delivered (Devizes), about 45 minutes ago and what a cracking issue! It's another classic in my humble opinion and just like the recent issue featuring Gordon Gravett's "Arun Quay", I can see me wearing this issue out too. MRJ at its best!

Hroth Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Picked up a copy from the local newsagent on my way to an appointment with fear the vampires phlebotomist for blood tests. Managed to read the contents page and editors column before being called in.... I shall settle down with a mug of tea and selection of suitable dunking biscuits to peruse the rest of the contents when I have a quiet moment! Ok, they've got the holly decorations up, but they could have photoshopped a bit of seasonal snow onto the front cover loco. Sort of like this? HoHoHo!!!! (Cover image thanks to queensquare above...)

John_Hughes Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Popped in by the postie ten minutes ago and looks as good as promised. I do notice though that one of the letters is from an inhabitant of somewhere called Haverford West; as opposed to Haverford East, presumably? The Typo Fairy is clearly still alive and well at MRJ Towers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 John_HughesHaverfordwest is a real place, agreed there's no space between the 'd' and 'w', but more of a slip than a typo. Perhaps you have seen some reference to the Haverford College Dept for East Asian Languages & Cultures, but that's in the USA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Just having a quick read. Superb issue Barry. I think the photo on page 310 is one of the most realistic I have seen in a long time. Good show. Edited November 22, 2018 by Tricky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hughes Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 John_Hughes Haverfordwest is a real place, agreed there's no space between the 'd' and 'w', but more of a slip than a typo. Perhaps you have seen some reference to the Haverford College Dept for East Asian Languages & Cultures, but that's in the USA. Yes, I know Haverfordwest / Hwlffordd rather well, and it was the erroneous space that caught my eye. What the distinction is between a slip and a typo is above my pay grade, but there's a real typo in the previous letter, so we can no doubt agree on that. More seriously, I had a good read yesterday evening and enjoyed the whole mag enormously. Certainly this is yet another topping issue - there really are glory days for MRJ. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axlebox Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 In the Newcastle Smiths this morning. More than the three that arrived last month as well Morpeth smiffs is awash with them (minus one)...the conspiracy theorists amongst us would suspect smiffs trawl the web looking for their name being mentioned...and have acted upon last months moans.

Adam Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 What scale is High Wycombe station, I cant see it mentioned. It's 4mm scale - as the first part of the account of the construction made clear (back in issue 221 http://www.modelrailwayjournal.com/index.php?o=&s=high+wycombe&t=All&g=0&x=0&y=0)- that piece desperately needed an introductory sentence explaining that.
