south_tyne Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Looks like a good issue; very selfishly, there is lots of interest for me in the form of the J94 article, the compact quarry layout ideas, the Billy Bookcase layouts and the C&HP railway. All right up my street I would imagine. I will have to hunt out a copy. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted April 25, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 25, 2019 Another cracking issue from the look of it: 148 pages of stunning quality once again (+ DVD) is quite fantastic*, and it looks like there are some compelling articles to read (the test for me is if a topic that's not a personal interest still grabs my attention - the quarry features do that this month, based on an early perusal of the digital edition). We often read comment on how R-T-R models have leaped in quality in recent years, I think we should give credit to the advances in publishing in the same way - from where I sit the team have done a fantastic job once again. Quite how I'll find time to read it all - and attempt any modelling - before 4-weeks has flown past again is the challenge. Thank you to all. __________ *The adverts are worth reading too, I find. 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wright Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) As one of BRM's proof-reader these days, I must apologise to Andy York for slightly altering a date in his excellent review of the NB 'Warship' in the latest issue. The first one was actually introduced in the year before the first Bo-Bo 'Warships' appeared, but was not delivered to the WR until the same year. We try to get facts correct, but in this case I got one slightly muddled. Edited April 25, 2019 by Tony Wright typo error 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid that's not my responsibility (anyone who knows me will know why!). Regarding proof-reading, it would seem I don't know my prefixes from my suffixes!

Hi Bob, Sorry about that - please try https://brmm.ag/BachmannTour It's case sensitive, so this font has lost that, it seems. Something for us to check in future!

mikeyh Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Picked up mine in Sainsbury's yesterday, bagged with a free copy of Traction magazine so seemed good value. Not sure if this is exclusive or available elsewhere? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les1952 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 excellent- but with regard to p86- What is a GWR 94xx 0-4-4T? Certainly not the 0-4-4T in the pic next to the title. Les Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
