RMweb Gold Popular Post Not Jeremy Posted April 28, 2021 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2021 Just to let folk know, the next MRJ has now entered the production process and should be available from the middle of May. For what it's worth when compared to a "normal" year this puts the tally so far as being "one down" on the normal schedule of 8 mags per year, we shall see. Anyway, in another break from tradition here is some advance information, the best part of which is that this issue is edited and put together by none other than Iain Rice. It features an extended piece on the current 4mm modelling options for the N7, something of a team effort reminiscent of the old "No 1 Shop" feature - a great bit of Eastenery from some proper Eastern boys. Simon De Souza slow models Dromond Station (lots of luvverly bricks) and the Maestro himself explains how best to model bad track. Much more besides and I think you are all going to love it. I don't know what the cover is yet, but it might be a 3mm scale model based upon some of the other content. In the absence of same, here is Max the giant kitten chewing a Ratio telegraph pole just south of Midford viaduct. Luckily the guard was obeying rule 55 when his van went over......

RMweb Gold Craigw Posted April 28, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2021 It is very good to see a Iain Rice edition of MRJ and I love the kitten. 282 has just arrived in Australia and is my lunch time reading today. Regards, Craig W 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRACK ENERGISED AT 12000 mV. DO NOT TOUCH!!!" Still, I'm sure this would add a new "buzz" to "points duty". All that's missing is some catnip. Huw.

Try licking the terminals of a PP3 battery*, its about the same as DC track voltage/current . You'll definitely get the tingle! * Perhaps this should have a public safety warning?

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted May 4, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Max was a cat with refined tastes, including backing signals.... A bit later in his life he ate one half of a large fruit cake which approximated to what seemed like his own body weight. The results were cat-oestrophic, it was a good job the kitchen floor had quarry tiles, coz when I picked him up ex fruit cake went all over the place. A singular animal indeed, as are many cats of course. Oops sorry about that excess of alimentary information, still it makes a refreshing(?) change from WH Smith spottings..... Arf arf Magazine still not out. Simon Edited May 4, 2021 by Not Jeremy no x inexcess 3 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all depends on how long ago this was - after all, that photo doesn't look particularly recent - and this could have been an issue. Although he seems to have been "trained", he could have been interested in a certain event on the site of the former Foleshill gasworks, in September 2014 (an event which the guys who run this site might not be too keen to talk about). Otherwise, a trip to Coventry would probably have been a complete waste of time. Huw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted May 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2021 Remarkably, there was no damage what so ever. Not even squashed static grass. The WFC simply gracefully exited and that was that. Rob. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, Percy Savage couldn't believe the number of times he belled that train through to Wellow from his imaginary signal box that night..... It was the Bass wot dunnit. No pictures of course, but the last train over the line was snapped by Ben Ashworth, who was by then living up a tree to keep out of the way of Max the giant cat. Which rather leads us to the story of how Marigold Horace "borrowed" Evening Star for the last train and was never forgiven by Derby, Swindon, Bath or anywhere else for that matter.... And just what has this got to do with MRJ? Nothing of course, these events all took place many years ago - a full two years before said magazine appeared. Still no mention of WH Smith, although based upon Life The Universe and Facebook I'm surprised we haven't seen more kitten activity on the thread. I wonder whether And Dell's Dagworth, for example, has ever seen feline action... Anyway, I didn't do it and it wasn't me, whatever it was.
