sanspareil Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Sorry if I have missed any other posting on this (and cannot find by the search function either) but this issue of MR states that Richard Foster is leaving the role of Editor and the Bauer group altogether. Does anyone know where Richard is off to out of interest? George Dent is announced in the same issue as the new editor, promoted from Deputy Editor.

George Dent is announced in the same issue as the new editor, promoted from Deputy Editor. Richard’s staying in the industry, his new position I don’t think has been officially announced yet, but his previous experience is likely to be a good ‘fit’, as is Mr Dent in the big chair.

dibber25 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Richard's a very private guy and I'm sure he'll let people know where is in due course. He's still very much working within the model railway hobby. (CJL) 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(CJL) According to the latest issue of Practical Classics, he's going to be restoring his 1974 Ford Escort in time to hand it to his daughter as her first car on her 18th birthday. I think that gives him a few years to tackle the rust. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 It will be interesting to see what changes are made to the magazine by the new editor. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy reading Model Rail and some of the articles in the magazines are very helpful. Model Rail was launched in 1997 when I was given a 96pp blank magazine and asked what modellers would want to see in it. It was initially a one-off, then quarterly, bi-monthly and - in mid-1999 monthly, going to its current 13 issues per year several years later. I was Editor until 2008, then Ben Jones (who is now with Heljan) and for the past six years (I think) Richard Foster. Throughout that time the magazine has followed its successful formula and I'm sure that, with George at the helm it will continue to do so and you'll still find the same mix of helpful articles. Magazines assume a life of their own, all of us who are lucky enough to be Editors are really just the custodians for a while. (CJL) 13 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great conjuction of two model railway magazines that are published at different intervals but both reaching issue 281 around now. Whether this portends any great events in the world of railway modelling, only time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
