Of greater interest here is that mine did likewise. Are modellers of the Great Central bound by the Oath of Denny to include Triang clerestories among their carriage stock? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenway Park Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 There’s not much at all in Schonefeld Flughafen. Even the railway station is depressing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magazine outlets in railway stations usually have a far better selection of railway related magazines than airports. Probably no coincidence. The newsagent at the railway station in my hometown (Trondheim, Norway) suddenly started to stock MRJ. I am planning a little exursion today to see if it have arrived. The only downside is that they charge more than twice as much as in the UK. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Donw Posted July 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2019 My copy arrived this morning and I have only had a flick through however just a quick flick through was most inspiring and I look forward to reading it cover to cover.

Yes, knowing how expensive printed matter is in Australia pro rata to the UK I had just wondered what the price might have been in Kingsford Smith. Never seen loose copies of MRJ over there in shopping centre places, but the other railway mags aren’t cheap either. Izzy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenway Park Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 The Billi terminal at Bordeaux AIrport had an excellent range of very expensive French railway magazines. A surprise because this terminal is for Easy Jet and Wizz Air and is basically a shed to keep low cost customers away from the Air France and BA areas. Not recommended, fly back from Toulouse if you can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cheaper if I waited for it to arrive locally but the Newsagents can be erratic in stocking it. Buying UK and US magazines can damage your wallet!

Steamport Southport Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 That's Aussie dollars so about 10p. Or about £6.80 according to a currency converter. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krusty Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Quote The only downside is that they charge more than twice as much as in the UK. Just bought 270 from a magazine shop in NZ. NZD18.50, which translates to GBP9.63 at today's conversion rate. Not a bad increase on £4.80. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
