RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 13, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 13, 2023 Before anybody asks - it wasn't in our local bran ch of WHS this morning. A couple of copies of No.295 were still on the shelf (that is not good news in some respects as they always used to sell out of MRJ fairly quickly). 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 14, 2023 I was moved by the heart-felt tributes to Tony Reynalds, although I'd never met him in real life. His work was a constant inspiration. Despite the various attempts by more learned friends, I still don't understand servos, so I will have to approach Bob Isgar's 'Hacked Servo' article with some trepidation... All in all, another very good issue. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Absolutely - I got the idea from him on here some months ago and have a prototype up and running, what a brilliant idea. A friend who is great at electronics thinks I'm mad but it suits me perfectly, albeit only when wire in tube isn't an option ! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DLT Posted May 18, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2023 Was slightly disappointed at no MRJ when I visited Smurfs at lunchtime. BUT the big advantage was that I spent my afternoon-off actually doing some modelling, rather than reading about somebody else's! 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted May 23, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2023 Sorry, bit late on parade, too many nights spent in the "Grasshopper".... Now in stock and available to order from The Titfield Thunderbolt Bookshop here Nice to see progress on ex editor Gerry Beale's "Maiden Newton" layout, and although some of us have seen an awful lot of Jerry's new turntable, it nonetheless makes for a very fine article in this issue - I love the shot of No 45 on the table with Tucking Mill in the background(!) Bob Isgar's article on dis-respecting servos is really quite appealing, as is Cardiff's "Pencader" and the interesting and thoughtful recollection on the late Tony Reynalds. Best get out to the shed and make those dreams come true before its too late... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
