MEGair Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hi David, Is the Midsomer Norton layout, the Australian based layout? It is superb in the flesh. Having seen it several times. We don't see to many quality british layouts at exhibitions anymore. They tend to be Australian and American. regards Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGair Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hi David, I have just checked the Peco website and it is not the Aussie layout. regards MArk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
298 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I had a quick look through (in Morrisons), can't say I was that impressed after reading the Heljan class 86 review, it was more like something you'd see in MREmag. Is it normal for them to review models without comparing them to the real thing...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Nevard Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hi David, I have just checked the Peco website and it is not the Aussie layout. regards MArk I gather it's Jerry Clifford's latest masterpiece (of Highbury Colliery fame) in 2mm. Should be super! <Update having just bought this issue, it is!>> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tappa Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Check out Ken Gibbon's excellent Port Pennan - a superb exercise in small space modelling. Also useful for those who are useless at woodwork! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted May 13, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 13, 2010 Another cracking issue with something for everyone, pregrouping in standard and narrow gauges, modern & BR blue diesels, N gauge BR steam and all well sceniced beautiful models. I do like picking up a mag and thinking I'd buy it for that article alone and then finding several more to the same standard. The modern MPD layout is a nice variation on the usual theme and like Park Rd has a realistic roster too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
60B Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I had a quick look through (in Morrisons), can't say I was that impressed after reading the Heljan class 86 review, it was more like something you'd see in MREmag. Is it normal for them to review models without comparing them to the real thing...? Its normal to review without comment on the model. Had a flick through in the car on the way to work. Left in the car and my mum isnt home yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

60B Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 She must be enjoying it, what scale does she model in She doesn't model. I hate not having a liscence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_mcfarlane Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I used to buy RM all the time, but now seem to only buy one or two a year. That said, this issue was pretty good. I bought this issue because of the 2-Bil article, and frankly that's the bit I'm least impressed with. The drawings don't show a lot of the detail that a modeller would need to build a model (a plan of all the roof cabling for example) so I'm struggling to see the point of including them. The text is a bit lightweight as well. At least some of the photos are nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
