RMweb Gold teaky Posted May 17, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2019 Just dropped through the door. South Pelaw looks fab. It would have been even better if the printer had lined up the pages (125 to 132 and 149 to 156) so that the perforated joints along the top edges were cut off! This is the first time I've had this with MRJ. Anyone else have this problem with their copy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contents look superb but I really ought to be getting back to work so I've locked it away. My subs renewal was included, I note it's only for 4 issues at a time and guess this is in case of increased print costs in the near future. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 31A Posted May 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2019 No problems with the printing of mine. As well as the superb "South Pelaw", "Surrey Arms" looks very good too; a layout I wasn't previously aware of. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spotted that, initially thought '£20.80 is a bit cheap', this means I'm going to have to write three cheques a year, 2 MRJ and 1 NERA... Bit annoying really. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium airnimal Posted May 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2019 I phoned about the 4 issues and what I was told made me laugh. Apparently they are afraid that they are getting old and don't want to have to refund any money if one of the team falls of the perch ! This must be catching because I have told my better half this is the last time I will be decorating because at 68 this will last at least 10 years and I won't be doing it again at 78 if I live that long. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 17, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2019 No problems with the printing of mine and I'm very much looking forward to having a read later. I must admit that virtually the first thing I looked at was the Exhibitions page! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to have a few sit downs whilst reassembling the layout for it's latest shakedown run at this weekends Middlesbrough show. For those not going to Expo EM if you can get to the M'boro show the modelling on South Pelaw alone would make a visit worthwhile. I can say that, having had nothing to do with it's building but I'll hold my hand up now and say that any derailments/spads seen this coming weekend will be my fault and mine alone. Purely due to my incompetence in the driving department. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Torper Posted May 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2019 No problems with the printing on my copy. I haven't read the South Pelaw article yet (reserving that for this afternoon) but I did enjoy the Surrey Arms piece. It contained lots of useful tips that require neither a degree in engineering nor any specialised equipment and I shall certainly be adopting some of them.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 18, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2019 Had a good look through last night, Another outstanding issue in all respects. Maximum respect to the South Pelaw team for this massive and superbly-executed undertaking. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hughes Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 A decent edition again, but the thought that I might outlive MRJ is a little worrying. Though the alternative doesn't sound good either, come to think of it. 1 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penlan Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) And, for once, it's not first out at Smiff's in PZ.. still waiting, probably get one in Cardiff on Thursday. Might be because we have these new super-dupper trains twixt Paddington and PZ. Edited May 22, 2019 by Penlan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Argos Posted May 24, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2019 I saved my purchase for my bank holiday commute home, Much has been made of South Pelaw (justifiably so) but the 2mm scale signal boxes from Jerry (Queensquare) and Surrey Arms really caught my eye. The latter being one of those minimum space models that actually doesn't feel constrained, a difficult act to pull off. A most enjoyable edition.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted May 26, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 26, 2019 I must say this issue was a corker. For myself, based purely on my own interests, Surrey Arms was THE article to return to. A nice layout and as alluded to above, a fine demonstration of making a small space seem a lot bigger. However, Jerry's signal boxes are a tremendous example of the finest of finescale modelling. I now have an urge to build a Midland signal box. Truth be known, one was always going to be needed for a future Midland layout set in Bristol but Jerry's article may have prompted an earlier look than planned.............. I was wondering what to do next. Inspired by Surrey Arms, prompted by Jerry...............Ramsbottom Down seems quite likely now....... Top stuff.
