RMweb Gold queensquare Posted March 27, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2018 Looking forward to getting my copy of BRM though I have been lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the pictures and they are superb. The cover is naff and the bold shouty comments that accompany articles really irritate me but I love Dolly!:-)) Jerry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just for you, here's Dolly again expressing her gratitude for the BRM team drawing her attention to Treneglos. She was heard to exclaim "I just love your Cornish Country and Western..." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 27, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2018 Coming through Padlington in a hurry I grabbed a BRM in Smug’s and ran for this 14.03 to Penzance. I now discover the copy I have is Spring, and no Treneglos. Sigh. I hope the right edition is visible in Torbay before I leave for home on April 10th. I only saw Treneglos once but it was very influential. As for magazine design and layout, this is the way of much printed media these days. ‘60s style RM - or for that matter Motor Sport - with pages of joined-up writing full of facts is replaced by punchy, in-yer-face stuff, in a desperate attempt to hold the attention of a generation with a short span of that precious commodity. In that respect BRM is simply staying competitive, I think. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was similarly caught out in Smiths at Euston, much head scratching till I realised it was the old issue, will pick up a Treneglos copy next week.

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted March 27, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2018 April print edition not due out until Thursday. I'm hoping to grab one before going away for Easter. Treneglos is one of those layouts that is inspiring even though it's not in my preferred period - but definitely evoking a favourite part of the world. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted March 28, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hi Chris Some cracking pictures of Tackygloss brought back a lot of memories of the early stages of its build in Damian conservatory, and of cousre its first outing at Stafford Where have all those years gone. Good to see my contribution of the blue landy survived the duration. Regards Eltel 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted March 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2018 Bought a copy today. Great photos and a good read!

I only saw Treneglos once but it was very influential.Salvation was at hand in Bodmin, where Smugs provided a copy today. I was a bit non-plussed on dropping in to Bodmin General to find 4 loaded blood and custard coaches, sitting half-on, half-off the platform, while a loco backed on to the front. At a distance, standing on the platform, I couldn’t even decide what sort of loco. Most odd operation, I thought. Would never have happened at Bodmin North! Edit : And on removing the DVD from the cover it took a slice of Andy Y’s lovely pic with it...... Edited March 31, 2018 by Oldddudders 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit : And on removing the DVD from the cover it took a slice of Andy Y’s lovely pic with it...... Without wanting to drag another thread off topic: Not sure about the coaches being loaded but I believe it's something to do with, if it's a long train, in order to get all the coaches in line with the platform, the loco has to draw right to the end, which means the coach next to the loco is fouling the points of the run round loop. Usually, when passengers have disembarked the train is propelled off the points then the loco runs back past the points which are changed so the loco can run round then propel the train back in line with the platform. I can only assume that passengers who have done one part of the journey, say to Boscarne, are permitted to remain on the train while the maneuver is performed before making the second part of the journey, to Parkway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2018 Perhaps I should have hung around longer to see the manoeuvre completed. It seemed they were intent on getting the train away, so I wasn’t convinced that propelling towards the stops was about to happen. My first taste of preservation, circa 1964, was clouded by seeing the Bluebell operating with a loco at each end. I must remember that the aim of such lines is to please punters, not ape the prototype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must remember that the aim of such lines is to please punters, not ape the prototype. a loco at each end was an operational necessity in the Bluebells early years before gaining entry into horsted keynes. They terminated at a makeshift halt with no runround. Nothing to do with pleasing punters it was a requirement. Propelling a passenger train four and a half miles would never have been permitted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
