Ben04uk Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Does anyone have a full list of the 'World of Wagons' articles by Don Rowland that appeared in the magazine 'Model Railway News' in 1967 and 1968. I believe they appeared each month in both years. I know the March 1967 article was entitled 'Part III - More Minerals' but it would be very helpful to know what the other topics were in each edition to help me track down the ones I am interested in.

Stanley Melrose Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Below are the issues I have with items: Feb 68 P 67 Part x111 BR Insulated Van/Palvan March 68 Nothing April 68 " May 68 " Wagons of Private Traders starts in Jan 69 Khris Just to mention that a slightly frail but charming as ever Don Rowland was at Scalefour North on Saturday. I am sure he would be delighted to know that his writings of 40 years ago were still of interest and use. Stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasp Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I was talking to Don at Wakefield. Not so quick on his pins but still of sound and incisive mind and still controversial. Hope I am doing as well in, in my case, not too many years. Jim P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben04uk Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Cheers, and if anyone knows what part 14 was then I'd be very grateful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted April 24, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2013 Cheers, and if anyone knows what part 14 was then I'd be very grateful Whatever it is, June 1968 is the place to look. http://www.payhost.net/modelling/acatalog/Mod_Rail_News_June_1968.html edited to add. Could it be cattle wagons, as this seems to be a major wagon type missing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
br2975 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 From my collection I can tell you the following :- Pt..1 - January 1967 - Introduction Pt..2 - February 1967 - Minerals Pt..3 - March 1967 - "More minerals" Pt..4 - May 1967 - "Plates, Tubes & Pipes". Pt..5 - June 1967 - "Boplates, Trestrols and so on". (incl. Pig Iron) Pt..6 - July 1967 - "Opens and Fits" . Pt..7 - August 1967 - Untitled but continues the theme from Pt.6 Pt..8 - September 1967 - "Hoppers" (icl. Tipplers) Pt..9 - October 1967 - "Special Hoppers" e.g. Tyne Dock iron ore etc. Pt.10 - November 1967 - "Vans" Pt.11 - December 1967 - "More Vans" Pt.12 - January 1968 - "Special Vans" Pt.13 - February 1968 - Untitled but continues the theme from Pt.12 Pt.14 - June 1968 - "Cars and cows" Pt.15 - July 1968 - "Conflats" Pt.16 - August 1968 - "The rest of the specials" Pt.15 - September 1968 - "Brake vans" Pt.18 - October 1968 - "Conclusion" . Where the 'World of wagons' article is sub-titled, the sub-title is shown above in inverted commas. . Note, Part 15 appears twice in the July 1968 and September 1968 editions - obviously a 'typo' as the article in the September 1968 edition should be Part 17. .

Ben04uk Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks for the comprehensive list. Shame they are not more than 1 page long but I guess were ahead of their time as no one knew anything about wagons in those days. What does the Pt.14 - June 1968 - "Cars and cows" cover?

Adam Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks for the comprehensive list. Shame they are not more than 1 page long but I guess were ahead of their time as no one knew anything about wagons in those days. What does the Pt.14 - June 1968 - "Cars and cows" cover? At a guess - since I don't have the articles to hand - cattle wagons and, presumably, things like MOGOs (ex-GW motor car vans) and car flats/cart trucks?

br2975 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks for the comprehensive list. Shame they are not more than 1 page long but I guess were ahead of their time as no one knew anything about wagons in those days. Not quite - a couple of years earlier the Railway Modeller ran a series by the LMS Society - "LMS Wagons" which included a 4mm scale drawing, brief details of the type and a description of how the wagon was modelled. This was a very good series, and the same group produced other articles on LMS coaching stock and locos. What does the Pt.14 - June 1968 - "Cars and cows" cover? Cattle vans, MOGOS's etc. Brian R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks for the comprehensive list. Shame they are not more than 1 page long but I guess were ahead of their time as no one knew anything about wagons in those days. What does the Pt.14 - June 1968 - "Cars and cows" cover? The sum total of wagon writing at this time would seem to have been these articles, some slightly-later one-page photo pages by David Larkin i Modeller, and (very)occasional plans in MRC or MRN. However, even with these limited resources, some Plasticard, and various Kenline bits, I built a few odd wagons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
