RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted June 19, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2012 Perhaps Model Rail shouldn't have put a picture of a 2FS layout on it's front cover in the first place if it didn't want to scare the herd? They didn't. But don't let the facts get in the way... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesthecat Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 How long is this going to go on for, what resolution are people looking for? As far as I can see its an innocent error of judgement from model rail and I am fairly certain looking at the fall out here it won't happen again! Can we get back to discussing the magazine in general. The next thing we will be complaining the full page apology in the next issue has meant Chris gets his page pulled again! And we won't be happy about that!!! mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Simms Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 They didn't. But don't let the facts get in the way... Touché. It was the photo on the contents page that I saw. I never let facts influence my opinion. Especially where trainsets are concerned... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that would stop Chris having to answer his critics and give him time to write the next Backscene! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Reid Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Any chance of letting me know on what page I'll find these other conrents? I'm positive I came across that layout at Model Rail 72' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted June 21, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 21, 2012 Great issue. Lots of good stuff, and lovely to see Waun-Gron in there. I also enjoyed the article on making the best use of a fiddleyard as it usefully defines what you can achieve in a given space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Reid Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I don't believe you did. No smiley Alan? It wasn't a factual coment. If however you should stumble upon a layout called conrents well I'll eat my hat! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 22, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm particularly liking the full overall photo rather than plan for small layouts, three examples in this issue, as for simple track plans it's far more use to capture the character. Yes! Some of the covers across various titles have put me in mind of Closer and Heat magazines etc at times. Blimey I seem to have missed some issues, was there a ModelRail diet too?

Hi I actually preferred the old plan for layouts. I tried to work out the plan of Sheep Pasture but couldn't from the overall photo.

dibber25 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I don't think there are any 'old' or 'new' plans. We've used an overall photo as a plan on small layouts when it has been possible to take a suitable photo, for many years. I can think of at least one, back in my time. We've also had one or two instances where we've not been able to get a plan drawn at the time and have had to use alternatives. I'm not aware of any plan (ha ha!) to change the plans.

CHRIS LEIGH Hi That is true but a lot of those were taken directly above the layout unlike the two in the current issue. When I refer to old it is the layout diagram that had the position of the camera when taking the photos on it. Cheers Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHRIS LEIGH Hi Actually you may not have done. I have just been and checked the May and June issues and it only appears to be the July one that is missing this type of plan which may be due to the size of the layouts.

GWR Man Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Lucky you Chris ,no sign of mine ,Delivery of Model Rail is very poor over here, perhaps hopefully fingers crossed I will get mine about the time the August Issue hits the streets .Everything else that come from the UK letters Cards parcels seem to arrive within 10-14 days but never Model Rail.
