RMweb Premium Kris Posted November 26, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 26, 2010 Info from Warley suggested that this was due to have been published on Wednesday just gone. I've popped into the local Smiths a couple of times to look for it (it's a new Smith's so don't know if they stock it but the seem to stock a lot of other railway titles) and have not seen it. Has anyone got hold of a copy yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I subscribe and haven't received it yet. I must learn to be patient, I must learn to be patient, I must learn to be patient. Give me patience, Lord, and look sharp about it. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisf Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Issue 5 dealt with horse traffic. I wonder what else there is to say about that subject? My, I'm looking forward to finding out! Meanwhile I shall muse silently on the unique relationship between time and distance that Royal Mail enjoys. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted December 3, 2010 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 3, 2010 I shall have to see if I can find it then, well when the snow has melted, and the sheet ice that is hiding under the snow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigwelsh Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Saw it in smiths today (Altrincham though you don't have to tell me its not in yours ) when I went to get MLI for the class 14 content. Interesting advertising poster for the private builder of some of the 9400 class as well as some detail shots in the C&W section. I must have skipped past the horse traffic bit on my quick flick through though my own copy will be in the club soon anyway I hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 14 pages is some skip! It covers rules, arrangements and accidents and deserves careful study. For those fascinated by what servants of the GWR did to earn a living, there are two articles. Chris Turner examines, as only he can, the work of a C&W electrician's mate and Bob Crump looks at firing engines with a sloping grate. Don't dismiss that one out of hand as there are two fine photos of cabs and their fittings. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Picked it up from newsagents / sandwich shop near my office today. They're very good at getting MRJs in as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugd1022 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Gratuitous bump Picked up my copy a couple of days ago and as is often the case, bought it on the strength of the colour photos alone. I never tire of these delightful little snippets and it's always nice to look back at these items in back issues too, it's amazing how much detail there is in many of them. In this issue, I found Chris Turner's article on Reading very enjoyable, with a particularly useful shot of the west end bays and some none corridor stock in BR days. Keith Ettle's seven page spread 'A Sunday Jolly At Dainton' ticks several boxes too... the going away shot on page 207 shows a nice selection of stock!
