paulr1949 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Picked this up in Liverpool Lime St on Saturday for the train ride to London Town. (snipped) A good read Midhurst looks really good. I found the article on Midhurst strangely unsatisfying although it does look good. It seems to assume that you know all about it from a previous article! No track plan either. Can't get to Wigan unfortunately Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted November 19, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 19, 2010 I found the article on Midhurst strangely unsatisfying although it does look good. It seems to assume that you know all about it from a previous article! No track plan either. Can't get to Wigan unfortunately I'd have welcomed a plan as well, especially as the layout looked "interesting". Pretty good weathering article by Tim Shackleton, I thought - nothing groundbreaking but a good overview, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has problems with paint rubbing off the sides of footplates...

Dave777 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Can anyone confirm/deny that there's an article about detailing the O gauge Heljan Hymek in this mag? If so, is it any good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike J Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Can anyone confirm/deny that there's an article about detailing the O gauge Heljan Hymek in this mag? If so, is it any good? I can confirm it Dave. Steve Harrod customises his own Heljan 7mm Hymek. I've been away this week so have only scan read it, but there are some nice photos of the cab interiors and other additional features such as the bogie step. Quite a weather worn example, but nicely done. Probably worth buying if you're doing your own loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave777 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Exactly the sort of answer I needed Mike - great, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Nevard Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I too enjoyed Mr Shackleton's weathering feature, well illsutrated and a nice read. Midhurst nice (some scarily clever looking and well excecuted track) and I liked the simple concept of Rountree Halt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted November 23, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 23, 2010 I too enjoyed Mr Shackleton's weathering feature, well illsutrated and a nice read. Midhurst nice (some scarily clever looking and well excecuted track) and I liked the simple concept of Rountree Halt. I saw Rowntree Halt at York this year. It's even better in the 'flesh'. The backscene of the huge factory is very cunning. I'm very envious of Midhurst.

Anglian Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I bought the magazine for the Midhurst article. It left me wanting more… the layout is right up my street and I'd love to see it at a show sometime. On You Tube Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
