RMweb Premium GW Jim Posted January 6, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2021 Happy New Year to one and all. May this year be better for us all. Just a quick question I have regarding a copy of the Nov/Dec 2020 NARROW GAUGE & SHORT LINE GAZETTE. Does anyone know of a UK bookshop that stocks this magazine, please? Thank you. James. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium GW Jim Posted January 6, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2021 Richard. Thanks for your response. James at Bill Hudson books was the one person who I was aware that stocked them but after checking out his listing did not find any Gazettes, sadley. Many have to order direct from White River.

RMweb Premium GW Jim Posted January 8, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2021 Yes, did this Weds PM, had a reply saying James would check out his stock then get back to me.

If anyone subscribes to the gazette and has it delivered to the UK, do you have to pay import & handling fees when each issue is delivered? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But you do have to put up with the unreliability of the US Postal Service. In the nearly two years I have been subscribing I have had two issues go missing and on a couple of occasions, I have had issues just a couple of days apart. Not bad for only ten copies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngheaven Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Thanks both. I'd been eyeing up back issues (Boone Morrison was a huge inspiration when I got into this hobby and I've lost my copies featuring his North Coast RR & Buckhorn Logging) and then got thinking about subscribing. Point about the US Postal Service noted! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) If anyone reading this is interested, I have a spare copy of May/June 2020. They sent it when replacing another issue that went AWOL. You can have it for the cost of postage and an envelope. GONE to ngheaven. Edited January 15, 2021 by JZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium GW Jim Posted January 15, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 15, 2021 Gents. The current situation regarding UK delivery of US magazines has improved somewhat since last December. Both White River and Kalmbach Media now use a UK based mailing company (bit unsure what the tecey term is) who distribute around Europe. Indeed The NMRA Magazine, their house mag is published printed by White River also now use this delivery system and so far so good. Up until then, I believe both used a forwarding company based in France. if anyone requires any information regarding the NMRA British Region please do not hesitate to get in touch as always willing to help.

RMweb Premium Nile Posted January 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 15, 2021 For many years US magazines have been transported in bulk to Heathrow , a distribution company nearby then sends them out to subscribers. I don't think the USPS is involved at all. The cost of sending a single issue is very high in comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall5 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I had a subscription for many years but, as I no longer model the U.S. n.g. scene I have decided to dispose of my collection of NG&SLG's. Briefly there are complete sets from 1.1994 to 5.2016 and 4 or 5 issues of each year1985 to 1993 (except 1990) nearly all in mint/near mint condition - 173 issues in total. Not looking for the silly e-bay prices. Let me know by P.M. if anyone is interested. Cheers, Ray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
