dibber25 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 UK subscribers should get theirs before Christmas (but if you don't, please don't post about it until the New Year, as I won't be in a position to help. I plan to have a break!). All the Hornby 2013 news and the background to what's happening - and a round-up of new items announced or launched at Warley. Check out our latest limited editions and place a pre-order, plus there's a new batch of four Sentinels coming in 2013 - find out which new liveries we've chosen. Reviews include the Hornby 'B17' 4-6-0 and 'O1' 2-8-0 - probably the first time we've had two new Hornby locos in a month. Also the lovely Bachmann 'C' class 0-6-0, the LMS Compound 4-4-0 and the Graham Farish 'N' Blue Pullman and the Dapol 'N' Class 27. In fact SEVENTEEN pages of reviews! Layouts: Horseley Fields - modern image 'N' gauge Brinkley 'P4' Midland loco shed Brucklay 'EM' green diesel era. Masterplan: The final instalment of Paul Lunn's 6x4 designs, and something VERY different. Workbench: Masking models DRS Class 37/6 LMS 40ton coal hoppers Baseboards without wood All the regulars including Q&A, Exhibition Diary and Backscene.

RMweb Premium Grafarman Posted December 12, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 12, 2012 Looking forward to seeing Horseley Fields, and the DRS Class 37/6; I have a picture of 37612 at Llandudno Junction which I'd love to do in N gauge... but I assume it'll be a OO project?

Jack Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Has the timing become unsynch'ed??? Getting the February issue mid way through December seems a bit odd ... ... although its a good mag, so you can call it the Geraldine Issue provided the quality of the content stays high Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium mezzoman253 Posted December 12, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 12, 2012 I've only just picked up a copy of the January issue. The world's gone mad! Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 It's because of the four weekly publication cycle. Don't complain - we get one extra issue a year out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 I believe it will come back into synch with a 'Spring' issue. Should really have had a 'Christmas' issue but, marketing-wise with magazines, Christmas apparently doesn't sell. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we'd all, on Model Rail, like to wish RMweb readers a Happy Christmas and all the best for 2013. We've had a hectic time recently, particularly with the number of new models to review and that looks set to continue into the New Year. In fact there's something I'm looking forward to reviewing in a few weeks time, that hasn't even been announced yet! CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 And we'd all, on Model Rail, like to wish RMweb readers a Happy Christmas and all the best for 2013. Thank you Chris and the seasonal greeting is reciprocated from this end to you, Ben, Chris N, Richard, Pete and George too. I'm sure everyone will get to enjoy a few days break though with the changes in announcement date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Revolution Ben Posted December 24, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2012 Hello all and Merry Xmas to all, I just wanted to say on behalf of the NGS Northants and Cambs Area group a big "thanks" for the feature on our club layout Horseley Fields. Obviously not all the photos were used, and Chris Nevard has kindly given me permission to add some more to our "Horseley Fields" thread. I am doing this, though the recent software update means I am having to do it in stages! cheers Ben A. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 24, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2012 Assuming the sleigh hasn't broken down on the ring road ... I think the one headed in my direction has, or the reindeer have gone lame (or the Postie who was keen on 'Model Railroader' has found a different taste in reading matter!). Anyway no need to panic it will probably arrive eventually. And it did - later today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeighties Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I just read this and agreed in disappointment as my copy hasn't arrived. Would you believe 2 minutes later the Postie knocked on the door with it, along with my copy of 'freight train formations' ordered from Amazon on Thursday!! Post seems to be working just fine and dandy here then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted December 24, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2012 Why does the picture of Brinkley in post #11 look more like an electronicly drawn picture rather than a photo of a model? Too much Photoshopping I think! Happy modelling. Steven B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, for those who have the iPad version of Model Rail 178, there's a gallery of extra pictures, too. One of the extras you get with the on-line subscription.

Too much Photoshopping I think! Happy modelling. Steven B. It's Christmas so I won't take offence . As a member of the Brinkley team I can assure Steven that the photoshopping of this picture consists solely of the smoke emanating from my Patriot and the sky background which are Chris's trademarks - the rest of the picture is authentic!
