RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted March 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Picked up my copy yesterday, (or tomorrow as my three-year-old grandson would say, as he hasn't quite got the hang of days and times yet) from Brian's newsagents by Seaford station. Morfa Bank sidings is a very atmospheric scene with authentic looking buildings. Edited March 19, 2021 by phil_sutters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold jollysmart Posted March 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2021 I wonder if the subscriptions will extend back to more issues as 4 isn't really many and the future of MRJ seems somewhat more settled? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted March 19, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 19, 2021 It was pointed out to me this evening that there is a new printer. That is also hopeful in a way as if there was uncertainty about the future Paul would probably not bother. Jonathan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted March 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hywel Thomas' Morfa Bank Sidings article is worthy of comparison with Chris Pendlenton at his best - I had not expected to enjoy reading about 1970s grot! I am, however, mystified as to how descriptions of the Dean Clough chimney and Ian Worthington's model as hexagonal slipped through the editorial process. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2021 What a superb issue! Morfa Bank is just sublime and a very good read. I was much taken with the 'Welsh-Italian' cafe! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted March 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 21, 2021 I also liked the article on the conversion of the Bachmann J72 to EM, because the new 94XX chassis seems to be built in the same way, thus offering the possibility of a conversion of to P4.

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted March 21, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 21, 2021 The article on lever frame locking, I found to be enlightening, I didn't know that the block instruments electronically interlocked the mechanical interlocking. I look forward to the 2nd part to further edjumacate me in the dark art. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that has been previously mentioned about the photo is that there's probably nothing you could solder, with that size of iron, on that side of the board... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
