Bernard Lamb Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 4 hours ago, Compound2632 said: Subscription copy arrived yesterday. Lots of shiny nickel silver on display. No advert or diary entry for Scaleforum (28/29 Sept, Stoke Mandeville) which strikes me as odd. There is a advert and diary entry for ExpoEM Autumn... Open the mag and on the right hand page is an advert for The Scalefour Society Stand. In very small print near the bottom is a mention of the Aylesbury event. A bit odd given the prominence of an event that is long past. Time for a cuppa and a look at all that shiny metal. Bernard 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted September 18, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 18, 2019 Bought my copy today. Only glanced through but another cracking issue. I have bought each of the recent issues so must really consider taking out a subscription.... The MRJ is now the only magazine that I buy regularly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted September 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 18, 2019 There is a further mention of Scaleforum, with date, place, and web address, on the Letters / Diary page, in the paragraph headed "Track Construction Workshops".

br2975 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Bought mine earlier, sat down to read it with a cup of coffee and a huge portion of 'bread pudding' from Cardiff Central Market. . Another excellent issue - of which Templefield appealed to me. . It's roots appear to be based in 'Carron Road' of many moons ago, but with a 'Western' leanining certainly caught my attention.

This is a most interesting thread drift! So far nobody has (again) mentioned having to pay by cheque and post it off. Or stock in Smith's at Ealing. And now having to pay by just the four issues - well ....... Another cracking issue to inspire something in everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrhoppity Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 My copy of MRJ 273 arrived this morning (27th September). I phoned Cygnet Magazines yesterday and told them that my subscription copy had not arrived. During the course of the conversation I was told that this had happened to 7 or 8 people with issue 273. I must admit that I do not understand what goes on at Cygnet Magazines. I have bought MRJ since issue 1 and I have had a subscription for several years. I have grown accustomed to the delays but this time I think things have gone too far. Yes I know there was a breakdown at the printers (I phoned Cygnet Magazines about a week ago enquiring about issue 273) and that that caused delay but I cannot understand why they could not have told us that they were having problems. It is easy enough to put an announcement in RM Web. Am I the only one who feels that his customer loyalty is being abused. I must admit that I am left wondering how many customers MRJ would have lost if Bob Barlow's Finescale Railway Modelling Review had not been cut so tragically short. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PMP Posted September 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2019 With Cygnet/MRJ being famously ‘analog’ it’s highly unlikely any announcement would be made using digital media. That’s not to say your complaint isn’t valid, just that this isn’t the first time there’s been similar delays, so it’s sort of normal. I don’t think MRJ would have lost many readers to FRMR, I think they would likely have coexisted and complimented each other quite well. I had subscriptions to both, as did a number of my friends. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted September 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) I think we have been spoilt by the regularity of the other magazines who all seem to hit their arrival dates, month in month out. I would venture that they benefit from being much bigger operations than MRJ which has always struck me as a 'cosier' operation. That matches the content which more often than not, is not the more 'mainstream' content seen elsewhere. The monthly speculation regarding the arrival of the next issue by members posting on Rmweb ( annoying for some) has become part of the MRJ 'ritual ' for many of us but I prefer to think of it as 'character' Come on now, MRJ cannot be held accountable for a problem at the printers. These things happen. For many, MRJ is the only month 'must have' magazine, myself included. Long may it continue, quirks and all. Rob.

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted September 28, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 28, 2019 Worth waiting for whatever the delay IMHO, and I have Correos to factor in as well! Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
