dibber25 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Plus there should be an announcement in there about the joint RMweb/Model Rail 2011 Challenge. Probably on the News pages - I don't recall proof-reading them. Hopefully someone else did! I did the Easter/Royal Wedding holiday trick and had an 11-day break, so I didn't see everything that went into this issue. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_irl Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 did I not have a (short) post here already?

dibber25 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 As soon as the subs copies land, probably the 16th or 17th. It went to press on time after a bit of late evening work to make up for all those lovely bank holidays. I think they call it 'pay back time'!

pitbull1845 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 It arrived through my door this morning. Page 14 for the joint RMweb, Model Rail Challenge. All in all looks a good read, especialy as Warren Lane is in it. Nice pictures as usual Chris N. Cheers Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 16, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16, 2011 Subs copies should be starting to appear.... here are a couple of quick snaps.... And from a quick scan through it has got some even better ones accompanying several of the articles. Overall it seems to have carried the 'new look' forward well but we now seem to have even Chris Leigh setting cryptic clues (but at least he's awarding a prize for solving his).

First correct answer already received, so no need to e-mail me. However, in case rmwebbers want to have a guess, I won't reveal the answer here until 'pressed' to do so.

Didn't think there would be quite so many blokes who recognise ***** *******. Still it was just a bit of fun really. The scenic work has moved on, now, and the harbour scene will feature a bit of inspiration from the 1992 movie 'Wind'. "The big boats get the glory, but the small boats make the sailor...."

westerner Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Wind had some of the best racing sailing footage I've ever seen, not a bad film either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibber25 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Wind had some of the best racing sailing footage I've ever seen, not a bad film either. Yes. I've modelled one of the 'international 14s' copied from the movie. A chance to try out some techniques with Woodland Scenics Water Effects and some more adventurous modification of Preiser figures. Don't know if it will work, though. Dave Lowery is still on the team, same as ever, but his pic is on the 'Workbench' opening page now.

RMweb Premium Grafarman Posted May 18, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2011 Well done for putting proper Trackplans of the featured layouts back in; among other things they help to make sense of some of the camera angles !! And also thank you for organising another N gauge competition - keep 'em coming... BTW, was there an announcement of who won the "Golant-esque" Farish layout pack from a few issues ago?

westerner Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Chris, In Q& A a Mr. Harwood asked if there was an anoloque sound unit and the reply from Richard Foster stated that there was no proprietary system. There is The Modelex steam chuffer which comes with a speaker and is linked to the controller. It is only for anoloque control. Just looking at their website http://modelexmodelrailways.co.uk/ it costs £32.25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveb860 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Interesting to see that next month Spencer Pollard, the Editor of Military in Scale,is Modelling/weathering a class 26.

Coombe Barton Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 All right, all right - you all whetted by appetite - so I bought it at Sainsburys this evening. I'm now on page ten. I'm attracted (more than attracted) to the "LAYOUTS CONFIRMED FOR MODEL RAIL LIVE" feature - which has mention of Chris Nevard's Brewhouse Quay. Can do the dates - like it. You've really got me fired up now. Can I do the distance? Where is it? Errrmmmmmm? Read it twice, no, make that three times. Not a clue. OK, I'm clever, so I go on the web. Google for Model Rail Live and get all the 2010 stuff (and that doesn't tell me where it is either). I want 2011! So back to the mag, page 3. Does the editorial tell me anything? Read the editorial. Read it again carefully. Yes - so right at the bottom there's a link to modelraillive.co.uk So go there - does it tell me where it is? YES! success. It says "Model Rail Live 17th & 18th September 2011, Barrow Hill Roundhouse." WTF is Barrow Hill Roundhouse? Still clever, I google Barrow Hill Roundhouse and does that tell me? Does it ****. to be fair the logo says, in LOW contrast, where it is, but only find that after coming back several times. Have to go to the Contact Us bit to find out. That it's Chesterfield. I can make it. Do I really want to now? And then go back while writing this to the Model Rail live website and "Visitor informaton" to find: MODEL RAIL LIVE takes place on September 25/26th 2010 ... C'mon. guys. There's few 'average punters' going to be as tenacious as this to find out something that you should be telling me in my face. Unless you've heard about me and don't want me to come, that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
