RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted July 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2014 Worth looking at the Museum's shop site chaps, cats out of the bag!! Guess there ll be one happy chappy on here!

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) My sub copy hasn't arrived yet... Neither has mine - perhaps this can now become a thread about delays for the subscriber copies and that will help maintain the NRM's secret as there will then be a big debate about breaking forum rules and changing the course of the thread and we can have a couple of pages about disagree buttons?

Steamport Southport Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 My copy has just arrived. I won't be buying one, not because of the prototype, just that I don't really go for 'premium models'. The only one I was tempted by was the Lancashire And Yorkshire tank that flew off the shelves. I hope they eventually do another run of those.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2014 Model Rail has now arrived, the post round here really can be very unreliable delivery time wise but at least the plastic bag hasn't been opened - unlike 'Model Railroader' which often arrived with the bag opened; I do wish people modelling the US scene would buy their own magazines. A number of pic of narrow gauge ROD engines from WWI, could be a hint that Bachmann have something in mind - oops, wrong thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RFS Posted July 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Kernow have published all the details in their weekly newsletter email, which I've just received.

RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted July 25, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 25, 2014 Sorry RFS you have got wires crossed. The details Kernow have in their newsletter is about the Model Rail limited edition steam locomotive release (a livery variant from an existing tooling) which is separate to the NRM/Locomotion Models announcement due 29th July which is exclusive to the NRM/LM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 If it is leaked any more widely, I will need to avoid internet and shops for a few days.

Rob F Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks for maintaining the silence on it folks, I hope everyone continues to do so. If someone leaks it just hit the report link on such a post and I'll deal with it as soon as is possible. I have the magazine and thus know the answer. I am not going to state it here as the general opinion seems to be that I shouldn't. I don't claim to understand the reasons though. This is not a secret, or confidential information or anything that is going to spoil their announcement next week. The information is in the public domain as it is in a magazine that has already been published, via an advertisement placed by Locomotion themselves. It is already common knowledge. We are akin to the child who sticks their fingers in their ears and shouts LA LA LA as loud as they to avoid hearing something that they don't want to hear but which everyone else can. We are in strange territory indeed as a forum if we are not allowed to discuss something that anyone with half an interest will already know. ROB PS And I really don't mind if everyone presses their Disagree button as often as they like! At least it will prove my post has been read! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Simply because I choose to uphold agreements I've made with people over publication of material. If someone finds out before from a definitive source then that's fine (as long as they keep it off air) but it then becomes a grey area on dealing with leaked material unless we have agreed methods in place. In this case I'll wait to publish any official press release. If I didn't care and had a poor reputation in maintaining integrity the forum wouldn't get some of the material it does ahead of the pack. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 37 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think Robs got a point. One of the lads at work had the new Model Rail yesterday and at least two of us had a thumb through it. So how many other subscribers have had their magazines looked at. I know my father when he comes round is always straight in my latest copies. (To tight to buy his own LOL). So if the information is public the NRN either wasn't that concerned or dropped a bit of a clanger. Either way the information is in the public domain.

Advertisers place their ad in good faith that it will appear after the due date. Printers and distributors - no doubt thinking they will please everybody - get the mag out and about slightly early, and this situation arises. "Big Bang" announcements with fanfare of trumpets are what is usual these days in many walks of life, and Locomotion are entitled to their buck for their bang, not a damp squib. And, finally, this is Andy Y's place and his rules prevail. Anything else is called anarchy - vide much of the Internet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.A.C Martin Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I've kept scthum as requested (having rung the shop earlier this week, wanting to pre-order and in a brainless moment getting the announcement dates mixed up accordingly) and intend to keep scthum for the enjoyment of others - but can someone explain to me how it is "leaked material" if it is in printed magazine, in a paid for advertisement, the publishing dates and delivery of which is known? I think for anyone to intimate that Model Rail have somehow leaked the news due to their publication is a bit off to be honest. And, finally, this is Andy Y's place and his rules prevail. Last time I checked, RMweb was now owned by Warners and Andy York was an employee of Warners? So no, strictly speaking that's not true. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day Andy (for our benefit) probably knows more than we could possibly imagine through trust from the manufacturers. At the end of the day he is the face of this forum and if the members start leaking information, no matter where it comes from, then that information may not be so forthcoming, which certainly won't be of any benefit to any of us.

S.A.C Martin Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 May I add for avoidance of doubt (in case my post above reads - as I think on reflection it does - a bit abrupt), I said the above simply to be factual in that being stated - no axe to grind at all, I agree if there are agreements in place regarding publishing of information that they should be kept to regardless of that happening elsewhere.

Andy Y Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I think for anyone to intimate that Model Rail have somehow leaked the news due to their publication is a bit off to be honest. Several references have been made prior to said publication (leaks) and even if subscribers have a copy sat in front of them I'm asking that they don't spoil it for other readers of the magazine who haven't had their copies yet or for readers of the forum. Last time I checked, RMweb was now owned by Warners and Andy York was an employee of Warners? So no, strictly speaking that's not true. I don't legally own the site but I do manage it so semantics aside I do determine day to day approaches to individual issues. I'm proud of the continued growth and usage that the site exhibits and the relationship with manufacturers, commercial partners and traders so I don't intend spoiling the consistent approach we've had in dealing with such matters. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
