micklner Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Excellent issue BRM for one need to learn from them on content and quality of printing. I find it quite bizarre in the superb Hollowbeck Shed article that a lovely filthy Q6 has beautiful shiny Silver buffers attached !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium petethemole Posted September 10, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2011 One of the cleaners has been practising burnishing? He's also been at the shed labourer's pickaxe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennine MC Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 He asks readers to guess which of the 3 layouts has the most "photoshopped" images .....answer will be revealed in the next issue. A good way to make one pick up the Nov issue. You can soon pick it up. And then put it down again Seriously, this is one issue that involved very little decision making (it's fairly remarkable that all of the 'big 4' have content that appeals to me this month, and that all are also new on the shelves at the same time). Hornby mag's content does live up to its stunning cover (I'll draw a discreet veil over the wagon reviews ), and it wasnt til I'd bought it that I realised the WD dropping its fire was on the 4mm layout not the 7mm. Contents of mag Weathering Tim Shackleton Well not him personally Not a combination of author and mag that would be immediately obvious, but when you see the book plug it makes sense. It's a very good article though, I particularly like what he's done with the Deltic and I agree with a lot of his observations, especially the 'fear factor'. One thing though, is the book about locos only or stock as well, because the panel in the article says it's rolling stock as well but the book cover and IA's own ad in the mag only mention locos...

RMweb Gold JohnR Posted September 11, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2011 The engine shed kit looks really good. However, will we be able to build it without the roof-top water tank? Or is it build it as is? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted September 23, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2011 Yes, a cracking edition, sadly I have ready every word already so am resorting to scanning the adverts ...... We had Hollowbeck Shed at this year's Mansfield show, a nice bunch they are too and a cracking layout. The hidden fiddle/turntable/traverser is a thing to behold. Roll on next month's issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmrspaul Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 What a shame that the editor Mike Wild does the model wagon reviews. Just a quick look - the Hornby Iron ore tippler should NOT have a brake pipe - which he draws attention to as being good, the era 4 Hornby brake van illustrated has roller bearings (I know this is a mistake that Hornby appear to have made at the factory) and the BZA should not have Y25C bogies even if "reproduced to a high standard" but FBT 6 !
