RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted October 11, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2011 Came yesterday. The cover design is different looking more like BRM than Railway Modeller. Not quite sure i like it.I wonder what others think? Until I got it out of its wrapper I thought it was BRM. Personally I've always enjoyed the clean, one-picture type of RM cover, but I guess they've felt the need to jazz it up a bit. Whatever ones opinions on the cover, the pics of Herculaneum Road inside are very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure i like it.I wonder what others think?</p>Actually, I can't see that it makes much difference. It is the contents that matter, and in that area RM has always been top of the pile of the general modelling mags for me. It seems to have made a few steps towards modernisation recently none of which have done it any harm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tractionman Posted October 13, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 13, 2011 Great to see Buxton TMD featured in some detail in RM - and I'm deeply envious of the quality of the ballasting done on Buxton as evident from the pics - having just myself toiled over ballasting my track and feeling a touch inadequate now!! Looking at Buxton 'for real' as it was back in the '80s and '90s - see http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/28715-buxton-passing-visit/ - it's clear what a fine job Stephen Fields and Paul Sanders have achieved with Buxton TMD. Worth the £3.60 cover price of RM just for this I reckon! cheers, Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I had not seen Buxton TMD before, I really enjoyed reading the article and looking at the photos. The shed and the station are superb, great modelling!

See Buxton TMD at the Rochdale show on November 5th/6th. Full details of the show may be found HERE and on RMWeb HERE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hi Leander, many thanks for the information. I would love to see Buxton TMD in the flesh but unfortunately Rochdale is quite a trek for me which is a shame. Hopefully I will get to see it at some point in the future.

Bernard Lamb Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Having recently seen the LOR layout I found the photos rather lacking in giving a true impression of just how impressive the layout actually is. The feel of the height and spaciousness of the overhead lines contrasting with the cramped low level yards did not come across at all well. Hard to capture in a flat photograph but it did not show the layout in its true glory. Other than that a good read. Bernard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Bernard the side on almost black and white shot across the dock railway/LOR and main lines give a good view of how close everything is. And - you ain't seen it with weathered LOR - or as Mike puts its "barry has started to weather the LOR"! Barry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
