jetmorgan Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Just had a delivery of Model Railway Constructor magazines arrive from an Ebay purchase. Among them were a couple of specials under the same name. I have no1. Planning and basic data & no3. Basebaords and trackwork. I've been trying to find out how many editions of this special series were done but having no luck...I assume I'm not asking google the right way. Can anyone tell me how many of these specials were done and if they got all done before MRC went out of print Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I don't think they did an LNER version of the "modelling" books. But there was Modeller's Guide to the LNER by David Adair. I don't know if it fits in with these, as it wasn't published by Ian Allan. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Modellers-Guide-London-Eastern-Railway/dp/0850598311/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1504216912&sr=1-1&keywords=lner Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
