RMweb Premium Chris116 Posted December 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 15, 2015 Sadly all facebook pages are blocked by my work! I wondered why the advert appeared twice. I will have to use my laptop tonight to look at the missing page and print it out to put in the magazine. Thanks for letting us know dibber25, at least those on here can sort the problem out. Hope you have also let mremag know as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I haven't received my subscription copy yet, but if the whole page is missing, isn't what would be on the other side also missing, or are we talking just a blank unprinted page?

ThePipersSon Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 No - just one page is missing. A full-page advert has been printed twice. Shame because it appears to be part of a double spread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 15, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 15, 2015 i think this is wholly unacceptable, ever since model rail first announced the introduction of the january edition of model rail back in the december issue they have had ample opportunity to get the magazine right, surely those in charge at 'so called' model rail had samples of the magazine and could have seen that something wasn't right, or they knew and just hoped that us 'end users' wouldnt notice the errors, of course many wouldnt have noticed but once you know the error is there then it spoils your enjoyment of the magazine and compared to what the mag cost 10 years ago these errors are something that should not happen, we shouldnt be expected to click on a link to remedy errors in a mag of this price i mean its not as if its the only publication of this type released this month, again probably caused by editors not getting together behind closed doors and discussing their future plans, it resulted in yet more duplication, model rail, Hornby mag, railway modeller, brm, all releasing the same paper based product within weeks of each other, in fact it happens month after month, year after year also having had a closer look at the magazine the red title banner appears to be a different shade of red to the original publication, the font seems too big, the white is too white on the front page and the cab light appears to be lit on the train on page 86 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted December 15, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yes very good , big Jim. I think I'm also correct in saying youve published this before the actual printed magazine is published , otherwise it would be more damning that no one noticed !

Thats what you get when printing is outsourced to to different factories, its probably printed in wales so they are up against the language barrier too, the sooner model rail bring the printing back 'in house' with a john bull printing press the better! I for one will be waiting until the next batch of magazines are released in february to see if quality is improved before buying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveb860 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Does it have the correct number of staples down the centre line, and are they the correct thickness ? If this small but often overlooked detail is correct, then I can forgive the printing errors within. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this small but often overlooked detail is correct, then I can forgive the printing errors within. ive had a good look at mine and can't see any staples at all, i can only assume mine was put together on friday afternoon so have been left off the finished mag, looked in the bag it was delivered in and nothing in there either, to top it off mine has been printed upside down with the pages opening the wrong way, see the attached picture....

Wherry Lines Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 My copy must've been printed in the same factory as the Heljan 58. The title was mispelt as BRM. In all seriously, mistakes can happen and I still intend to buy a copy of this issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - FB only allows part of the page to be printed - I've just spent some time not getting a full page to print - what a palava - subscribers should be emailed a pdf of the complete page Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rue_d_etropal Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Things like this can happen. Thing is to sort out a fix . A Facebook print is a quick fix, but I would hope that a proper page to download would be on the Model Rail website. Then there is the problem of printing it as magazine size is not same as what most people have at home. This is assuming that all readers have access to a computer and printer. Thus I would hope that the missing page is included in a not too distant issue of the magazine, so it can be cut out and put in the faulty issue of the magazine.
