Andrew Young Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Picked up a copy on Tuesday (Smiths at Bristol TM) and there were copies in IA in Brum that day too. Another cracking issue, not much in my scale/area of interests, but plenty of excellent modelling on show to inspire. Those Midland signal boxes are exquisite... and tiny!

Tricky Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 On 26/05/2019 at 17:50, NHY 581 said: 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. Rob. I seem to recall a while ago there may have been a potential dabble in 7mm. May this be it...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for the time being Richard. Probably do something following the arrival of the Dapol 14xx but for now 4mm remains the weapon of choice. Two projects remain really. The terminus at Lamb Regis and an ex Midland station in Bristol as alluded to above, Ramsbottom Down........ That should keep me going.........but a 7mm ex GWR backwater would be an attractive project all the same.....all a bit 1400 and milk tankers.........Lambstock sounds good...

StephenB Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 There seems to be quite a time lapse between those receiving their copy by subscription and those of us who put business the way of the local village shop. I feel it is very important to keep this lifeline alive. A very good read, by the way. I particularly liked both South Pelaw and Surrey Arms.

Nearly fours on the train and then a bus to track down. Jonathan The buses run every 10 minutes from the bus station (5-10 minute walk from railway station at most) and will drop you of outside the venue. Wakefield bus station is a big modern one and overhead displays show the departures etc. I must admit that getting from Newtown by train will not be easy. However, is there anyone locally that you could share transport with? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted June 30, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30, 2019 I have been to Wakefield before for Scalefour North. It is a bit long but only one change at Birmingham NS. Thanks for the info on buses. I am sure i shall get there, but not as early as in the past when I spent the night before hand at Altrincham. Anyway, only a couple of weeks before our next dose of MRJ. Jonathan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
