CHRIS LEIGH some interesting items... but tell me - how did you manage to type the phrase "what's left to do, in RTR diesel models" without the froth alarm going off?

KJM Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi Chris Looking forward to the July issue, some months back ( I can't remember the issue ) there was an advert by yourselfs and model rail Scotland, within that advert was a small piece about a layout called Auchinraith and stated that this layout would appear in a later issue, I saw this layout at Glasgow and would be really keen to see it in print, will it appear this year..?

robertcwp Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 My copy arrived today. Ben's editorial about the lack of RTR secondary/suburban stock and Mark 2d/e/f stock struck a chord with me. East Lynn looks superb in the photos. The pricetag for the Golden Age Brighton Belle is pretty eye-watering. Apologies if I missed it but I could not see any mention in the review regarding whether the body shape is correct. The Belle Pullmans did not have flat sides - 3052 Victoria. For Pullman livery, the headcodes should be the old stencils too. The two kitchen firsts were marshalled with the kitchens at the outer ends, ie one was the opposite way round to the other. I would not be surprised to see a Brighton Belle from Hornby in the not-too-distant future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yes, the 'Belle' has the right body profile. You can see it in the three-quarter views on the right-hand page if you look at the edge of the door recess. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eddie reffin Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 One of the best issues for a while. Just as well i'm on holiday to enjoy it! Eddie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Another excellent issue - Model Rail is really in the driving seat at the moment. I particularly enjoyed the glues comparison review and Ben's article about scrap N gauge loads which is not specifically mentioned in Chris's article list. East Lynn looks great and Chris Nevard's pics really bring it to life. I like the buildings and the overall layout shot that gives a great impression of a well thought out and executed plan. Just a tad more N gauge in the content and better quality paper would make the mag perfect. G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyk Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Great issue of MR. I did feel a while ago that MR was just not quite as interesting to me as it had been, but the last few issues have really been very good. Though it may be boring to some, I did think the glue super test was very good. It is an excellent reference for the future. Enjoyed the 'Monster Scrap' DIY feature as well. Those loads really do look real! I know a friend will be very interested in the Gould's wharf warehouse, and would expect him to be making it soon using your bits!

D6975 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I live in North East Bristol and have been doing the rounds of my local newsagents and WHS (Downend/Staple Hill/Kingswood) since last Thurs and nobody has received MR146 yet. Has anyone else managed to track one down in NE Bristol, if so where. I'm not working tomorrow AM, but I'm suffering from a twisted knee and don't want to go traipsing around in vain. Dibber25 insists that deliveries have gone out as normal, but there's none to be found round my way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
