Guest Jack Benson Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hi, Some good news, RM June 2020 has arrived at the local Sainsbury's co-inciding with our lockdown expedition. Nice to see Jamie Warne's Sandy Shores in print, a well-deserved accolade for a notable achievement. Child Okeford is also featured. Cheers and Stay Safe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted May 14, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2020 Thank you, Jack! As it happens I just took a look at the contents on their website and saw Child Okeford in there; I've been quietly (and have very much enjoyed) following the progress so I'm very eager to see that article in particular, once it drops through the letterbox! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted May 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Unfortunately the scale of the trackplan for Child Okeford is wrong. The text says it's 4.8m by 3m but the drawing quotes 5ft by 3ft with 1ft grid squares. Looks like a metric / imperial mixup...?

We'll be back to L/S/D soon like the old issues of RM. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Metropolitan H Posted May 17, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2020 I am hoping there is some restocking. Daughter tried to get a copy for me at "Sainsbury's" big Central Milton Keynes store yesterday a.m. - but all sold out. I am bereft and need a fix!

RMweb Gold tractionman Posted May 19, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) A great issue, 'Grimsby Blundell Park' is particularly impressive in achieving a lot in a relatively small space, lovely modelling of LNER terminus in P4. I got the last copy of RM in our local Sainsbury's yesterday, hope those looking for one find a copy, well worth seeking out. cheers, Keith Edited May 19, 2020 by tractionman Correction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisf Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Distribution of this issue does seem to have been rather erratic. There was no sign of it in the newsagent at Bedford bus station, save for a blank look from the sales assistant, and at my habitual Tesco the space allocated to it had been filled by an unfeasibly large quantitiy of another comic. Eventually I managed to track one down this afternoon and I will read it in bed tonight! Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted May 21, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 21, 2020 Finally found a copy, Morrisons in Bognor Regis came up trumps this afternoon. One left after I had picked mine up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishmail Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Have any overseas subscribers received the June issue yet? I know there are still delays in the postal system at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
