Wummyock Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Looks like a good issue,especially the weathering article as I dont possess an air brush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Nevard Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The static grass feature should take a lot of the mystery out of that aspect too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold kipford Posted October 5, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 5, 2010 Check your copies, my subscription one has pages 51 to 66 and 106 to 122 missing. Just about to contact MR to get a replacement. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Taz Posted October 5, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 5, 2010 No ones mentioned the free DVD. Quite a good preview of all the Model Rail expert DVDs. And a quick glance at what there is to see in the Hornby visitors centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I haven't finished reading mine yet but one thing struck me. If the on-sale date is supposed to be 7th October, why does the exhibition diary include details of 16 exhibitions which took place the previous weekend?!

gordon s Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Check your copies, my subscription one has pages 51 to 66 and 106 to 122 missing. Just about to contact MR to get a replacement. Dave I read about a similar issue on another forum yesterday with pages 1-18 missing. Seems there could be a few out there suffering from collation problems. Knowing MR, I'm sure they will put it right quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Nevard Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Here's a little cover grab (subs version)..... I imagine magazine stand issues will have the DVD attached somehow which may effect cover design a little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(quote) Because sometimes issues get out to subscribers much earlier than expected, so we put the earlier exhibitions in just to cover ourselves. In this instance, printed copies were in existence well before the weekend in question. There's generally a good reason behind what we do.

87 101 Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Just found this thread! My copy arrived yesterday with the first 18 pages missing. From what I have heard from other forums others have had similar issues with missing centre pages and loose staples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted October 5, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 5, 2010 Pleased to report that mine arrived (yesterday) complete with all pages and - thus far - no loose staplings. Good lot of interesting articles but one little (prototype) puzzle in the review of the 28XX, mentioned here, post No.52 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/22475-new-Hornby-28xx/page__st__50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_irl Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 A good issue, great piece on the weathering, especially all the non airbrushing options, and on the cl14. The diesel depot layout was very good also, very clever use of the mirror. did the price go up, I paid a full euro more than the last issue and I doubt its all due to foreign exchange? happy to report mine was fully intact (checked before I bought though just to be sure.)

orcadian Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 did the price go up, I paid a full euro more than the last issue and I doubt its all due to foreign exchange? happy to report mine was fully intact (checked before I bought though just to be sure.) Yes - it's now just one penny under 4 UK pounds, previously £3.40. But I think a Euro is worth more than 59UK pence, so someone, somewhere, has done some 'rounding up' perhaps! THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE NEW PRICE! Even at £4, the fatter MR is still well worth it, and the blow was cushioned (in the UK at least) with a cover-attached modelling DVD with over 60 minutes running time.

Lokomotivfuhrer Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I noticed the banner at the top of the front cover, alluding to the DVD that 1 or 2 others have mentioned. Ben Jones mentions it in the last para. of his editorial at the bottom of Page 3 as being "attached to the cover". However, my copy didn't have this. I pointed this out to my retailer, who informed me that none of the copies he has in stock have the DVD either? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Sounds like your retailer needs to contact his wholesaler, then. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokomotivfuhrer Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Sounds like your retailer needs to contact his wholesaler, then. CHRIS LEIGH Yeah Chris. I believe he's already called someone today about this, whether it be the wholesaler you referred to, or someone within MR. Without knowing the content of the DVD, I can't say how disappointed I am! Despite this, it is an excellent issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 I understand the DVD should be all copies - newsagents and subscribers alike. Probably not on overseas subs copies due to extra postage cost but I haven't checked so I don't know for sure. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
