ThePurplePrimer Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Excellent news - but I'm having a bit of a problem ( that might just be me of course ) I'm on an ipad and I can see the cover in the newsstand app and I can view a preview. There is a button that says 'buy' but when I click it my app crashes. Interestingly it says 'buy' rather than stating the price which is what I would normally see. Like I said - the problem could be my end of course I have attached some pictures to illustrate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Maltazer Posted September 9, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 9, 2014 It's not just you - I have the same problem. It pops up with "Processing Purchase Request" followed by "Purchase Error - you have not been charged" Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammyboy Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I hope that this plan book will contain layout designs that are original ideas drawn up by the authors, not plans just copied straight from the layouts featured over the years in the same magazine they produce. Looking forward to buying a copy next week! Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sheep Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Loco shed whitefield Manchester will have a few, got a text from him saying he'd ordered me a copy and a couple for shop. Rather support a local place than WH Smiths Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to buying a copy next week! Sam Mmm, you're going to be a bit upset. Virtually all of the layouts featured have appeared in BRM. It's very nicely done, but there are only a handfull of original plans drawn up. All the rest are layouts that have appeared in BRM with a full track plan and a few photos of the finished layout as I think it was when shown in BRM. You then have a fors/against box for each layout. Some interesting features inside; a guide to track and points, the station layout formations is quite useful. The 4 pages from Paul Lunn on Layout planning techniques was in my opinion the best bit. Not a bad reference guide for £3.99 digital copy. If you wanted something like the Peco setrack plans book then this isn't it. Cheers Ian EDIT:- should add only skimmed through it so far and not really gone into any detail, the above is just my initial thoughts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Phil Parker Posted September 9, 2014 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2014 Unlike some plans books, at least with this one you know they can be built - because someone has already done it! No optimistic pencils here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter findlay Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Downloaded OK on My Kindle Fire. Lots of good stuff. I've just started building a layout following Phil Parkers Edgeworth series, but these plans might provide inspiration for another layout when (if???) this one is complete.
