Long before my time, but it was shown in an article in one of the 1980s yearbooks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it a very good read, I would say that BRM is the modern equivalent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John Besley Posted January 22 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22 Those front covers where very much of the era 'Each a glimpse' and 'gone forever' Colin Gifford.... Some of the front covers are classics... a Trix Std 5 in silhouette on an overbtidge.. An Airfix 9F on a freight train... A Western on a wet day with the rain glistening off the platform. A HD Westcountry on shed at night time... 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted January 22 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22 All fondly remembered. The Trix Std 5 had a companion photo on the inside cover, a HD 8F banking the train with an LMS brake van. Another one I remember was a Trix Western on a stretch of 4-track South Wales Main Line, with a Triang 37 on a coal train on the relief road and a steelworks in the background. The steelworks looked like Port Talbot, but the up/down main/relief formation was more like Llanwern. This was a telephoto shot against the light, and the orange hue was not inappropriate for the steelworks ambience, brilliant stuff! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve45 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Definitely the best magazine of its time, knocked spots of the Railway Modeller and Model Railway News for both format and content. Very sadly missed, as MrWolf said, BRM is probably the nearest to it that we have now 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I hope it's ok to reproduce here for illustrative purposes.
