RMweb Gold Popular Post Not Jeremy Posted March 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2021 MRJ 282 is now at the printers and should be available shortly.

In a break with tradition, here is some pre publication information: It is edited by Karl Crowther and features include his Kentside Branch and Hywel Thomas's splendid Morfa Bank Sidings amongst other delights. The cover features a great shot of Morfa Bank Sidings, image available shortly... Simon 23 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only I've literally last week sent in my subs at the rate in issue 281 - I presume this will be ok? Thanks Alastair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Alastair I am sure it will be, subs will presumably go up a bit but that is not my decision as Cygnet remains an autonomous operation as explained earlier.

lambiedg Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Any chance No. 282 will have an actual target date for No. 283? I’m also expected a renewal slip. If that’s not included I may have to start worrying, . David 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Not Jeremy Posted March 10, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) I have just spoken to the printers and MRJ 282 is now in the World. Copies should get to trade customers and subscribers from early next week, with copies going out to the News trade from the end of next week. Whatever "target date" is or isn't given inside, work has commenced on 283 and things are now looking brighter for the future. I leave you with a shot of the cover.

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted March 12, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 12, 2021 MRJ 282 is now in stock here in Bath, my take on it is here: https://www.titfield.co.uk/Wild-Swan/MRJ-Journal.htm All the trade orders were sent out today so your supplier of choice should have stock very shortly. Subs copies are going out on and from Monday and newstrade copies are distributed at the end of next week, so Smiths etc from about a week's time. As observed earlier, the price has gone up to £5.50 from this issue. What isn't visible is that this is the first issue to be produced by a different printer than hitherto, for various reasons. The quality looks good, the pictures seem to have come out well and I can report that all concerned with its production are feeling very positive. This despite the "publication date of MRJ 283 not known yet" comment(!) Just don't worry about it, I have it on good authority that the next issue is underway.

vaughan45 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Really looking forward to receiving my subs copy. I'm so keen that it may bypass our COVID-19 three day post isolation period, so I will probably read it wearing selected PPE!

Coombe Barton Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Thanks to the guys in Bath for prompt service - mine arrived this morning, and much to the posit'e annoyance it was so well packed and unbendable that he couldn't get it through the letter box so had to knock. And plenty to think about in the new Wild Swan book I also bought - Authentic Model Railway Operation by Martin Nield Quality is being maintained after the transfer of ownership of the brand. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted March 17, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 17, 2021 Afternoon all. Once again I find myself the recipient of customer service which is second to none. My bundle of MRJs arrived this afternoon, accompanied by some splendid cards and post cards, served with a lovely note from Simon. After a day spent working from home and uttering threats and menaces at a sulky laptop, the delivery provided a breath of fresh air. An armchair awaits this evening with an accompanying measure of Port or four. Many thanks, Rob. 6 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An armchair awaits this evening with an accompanying measure of Port or four. I agree with the sentiment regarding customer service. I'm sure that mine is delayed by the Royal Mail. I'm mildly surprised at your self control. Ony four? I'm aiming at a bottle of Shiraz. Whether I'll achieve it depends on many things, including my ability to stand up half way through. 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thank you. As long as it isn't called a Stein, I'm not worried ... . Seriously though, there are limits to how much Port anyone's going to drink (and I should know - I like the stuff). It's definitely possible to get too much of a good thing - even something as good as Port. Huw. Edited March 17, 2021 by Huw Griffiths 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malbec for me as well. Aldi have a new French supplier so I thought I would give it a try. Quite tasty with liver and bacon. Unfortunately my subs copy has not arrived so I need to find a suitable bottle for when it does. Bernard 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
