RMweb Premium tanatvalley Posted January 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) It is not a silly question and subscription copies have arrived in 2 households I know. Not sure when but think it was before Christmas. Edited January 5, 2017 by tanatvalley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 They did well to reproduce the drawings of The Great Bear; the originals must have been very faded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Picked up a copy from my local newsagents last week (copies in local WHS too...) but due to the Christmas/New Year botheration, I'd not had a chance to look through it,apart from admiring the Great Bear centerfold! No wonder the mag was on the top shelf.... Its sad to see that quarterly publication will cease after issue 103 but it has crossed my mind through the last couple of years that they must run out of first hand sources sooner rather than later and I'd rather see the GWRJ come to an orderly halt rather than fade away or lose its voice and crash under new management. I'll miss it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 5, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2017 They did well to reproduce the drawings of The Great Bear; the originals must have been very faded. Depends how they've been stored. I have printed stuff from the 1890s which has, and is, surviving far better than stuff from the 1940s and 1960s and we got an excellent print off another Swindon drawing of about the same age as those for 111.

Hroth Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Well , January as gone by.! Was it the 23rd that 101 was due.? As anyone heard or seen anything.?. Stupid question I know.! Keith. There was a suggestion somewhere that the publishers were "on top of the situation" regarding issue 101, but I think that proposed publication dates might be regarded as post-truth promises. Its a possibility that we're not supposed to discuss them anymore. We can live in hope.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwinian Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks guys, got mine today. I will miss GWRJ even if it is late... surely their must be more material out there to keep it going? Irwell Press? There may well be more out there but look at the authorship of articles in recent issues and you'll see the same few contributors providing the bulk of the content. I too will miss it when it ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold melmoth Posted February 17, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think Kevin Robertson in the introduction to his Great Western Aspects says something about the possibility of further volumes if the title proved successful, but I don't have my copy to hand to check. http://www.titfield.co.uk/Book-shelves/Books-D3-det.htm#4483 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
