RMweb Gold 4109 Posted February 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hi folks, I'm trying to track down which edition of Railway Modeller in 1960/1961 contained a splendid photo of an ex-SR Mogul at Chedworth on the old MSWJR line. I'm sure the caption referred to the line's imminent closure (which was of course, in 1961). I've not seen the photo reproduced elsewhere and when you see it you'll agree it's a cracking photo. I'm not after a scan or spare copy as one will sure to be on ebay but any help in ascertaining which edition it's in would be much appreciated. Thanks, Bob.

Are you sure about the year range, as I've just looked at my copies and no sign. Unless it's May 1961, as I don't have that issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 4109 Posted February 12, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thanks for looking folks, That's odd. I was sure it was either 1960/61. I used to have a complete run from issue 1 to 1977 but moving house 18 months ago I decided to give them to the local railway to sell.....I should have kept some .

RMweb Premium RichardT Posted February 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12, 2020 As Ken Bruce might say "One Year Out!" January 1962 issue, p.14 Photo by J S Gilks. The photo caption reads: "The branch line look. A Cheltenham-Southampton train passes through Chedworth village on September 24, 1960" HTH Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Well, the January 1962 issue would have come out in December 1961, so kind of right. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 4109 Posted February 14, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 14, 2020 Brilliant! Thanks for finding that. It's certainly appreciated It's such a delightful view of a lovely stretch of line and local to me. I was a little out with the issue date though wasn't I! Thanks again.
