RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted October 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 24, 2023 MRJ 299 arrived in Bath today, my take on it is here Edited by Paul Karau himself, it has a pleasingly varied content, which includes two superb articles that encompass the railway scene from mid 19th Century London, Chris Cox's "Greyhound Place" through to glorious "Banger Blue" - Dave Roome's "Underhill Yard". And all still for the same bargain price of £6.20! Simon 9 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewartingram Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I was looking forward to my weekly trip to Ely (Cambs) today. But then WHS only had about half a dozen copies of 298 in stock..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hroth Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 My purveyor had two copies of 298. I'll have a look next week, they may have worked their way oop north by then.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted October 29, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2023 Very good issue once again. Absolutely stunning attention to detail with the terrace of Victorian houses. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium RobAllen Posted November 28, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2023 I'm clearly failing at using the Internet today, but how do you subscribe to Model Railway Journal? As best I can tell, https://www.titfield.co.uk/ is the home of MRJ (but maybe only Wild Swan books) but it only seems to allow me to buy an issue at a time.

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted November 28, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2023 Stephen is right and Rob too, I (Titfield) am only a retailer of the MRJ. I bought the stock of back issues from Cygnet when we all had to move out of Didcot (including the then remaining GWJ and BRJ issues too) and all that I have in stock are listed on the Titfield Website. Foreign MRJ subs are available from Gary at British Railway Books, but not UK, I think. Weren’t UK subs available from a third party, Elite Subscription maybe(?) I am fairly sure I recall someone on RMweb talking about this, I think. I am since 2015 the publisher of Wild Swan books though, so all of that is my fault!! Going back to MRJ, we must be due issue 300 soon……. Simon 5 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rob - I've already got that site bookmarked, and in fact I make a (very) small donation to the site owner each month (as requested on the home page) to help with the site maintenance costs. But in reality all the on-line magazine indexes are ultimately transient and incomplete, so I'd like a full set of the printed indexes as a back up!

RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted November 29, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2023 Yes I have most of them up to vol 35 (I think), the later/current ones are being produced and stocked by Cygnet. If you email me with what you want/need I will respond. Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barclay Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Interesting that 299, the 300th issue of course, didn't celebrate that fact, but I'm guessing there will be a commemoration of this achievement in no.300? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pointed the error out to Cygnet Magazines recently, when I renewed my subscription, so perhaps they will amend it in future editions of MRJ. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
