RMweb Gold Zero Gravitas Posted September 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 3, 2017 Come now, in GWRJ terms it's still early! If we're still waiting this time next year I might consider starting to become mildly concerned... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Perhaps the editorial team decided to wrap everything up with a bumper edition and became terrified at the number of pages that would be involved. The John Bull printing set must be glowing red hot! My local purveyor is still displaying a couple of copies of 102, and they tend not to take the previous issue of any mag down until the next has come into the stock room. Unless it has sold out, of course. Oh well, we'll just have to Wait And See! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigw Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Great Western Railway Journal has been one of the best of the prototype magazines available. From the comments in the editorial and the number of articles written by a chore of people it has obviously been a labour of love for quite some time. Is the lateness annoying? Not really, it turns up when it does and I know it will be good. While I saw it in our local news agencies (In Australia) from very early on and grabbed a few copies to read it was reading issue 17 that really got me in. This came at a time when I was questioning what I wanted to model. The upshot was that I changed to modelling the GWR and have enjoyed the path a great deal. I look forward to 103 arriving but I shall be sad that it marks the passing of one of the most informative and inspiring magazines that has been published.

RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted September 17, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'm not annoyed with the continual lateness, when it arrives it's always worth it. I just don't want to find it's been lost in the post and I can't get a copy! I have the full collection from the Preview issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 .....Is the lateness annoying? Not really, it turns up when it does ... The lateness is its USP. It wouldn't be GWRJ if it wasn't late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig W I'm not annoyed with the continual lateness, when it arrives it's always worth it. What - "the late" Western Railway Journal? I know - terrible joke - and we don't yet know if it's too early to write this excellent journal's obituary - but I shall definitely miss it. I wonder if / when we might start to see "bookazines" of articles compiled from old issues of GWRJ - but, again, I'm not holding my breath. Huw.

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted September 20, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 20, 2017 Just for information, although it is at the printers GWJ 103 won't make it for Scaleforum but should hopefully be out in the following week. This is definitely the last ever issue of the magazine in its current format. Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I'll keep an eye open for it towards the end of next week/beginning of the week after then! It'll be sadly missed, not only for the content but also for the exercise of going to the newsagents once a week after the suggested publication date....... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Zero Gravitas Posted October 8, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2017 Well, the 12 copies of 102 that were in WHS Didcot had gone yesterday, but no sign of 103 yet. I can only presume it’s a last spectacular X-Factor style anticipatory building of tension prior to publication. Even by GWRJ standards it’s very impressive. It will be much missed.
