D7100 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Picked up my copy from Smiths on Friday. Opened the first page, photo on the inside cover page (page 2) just didn't seem right, half the subject matter seemed to be missing. The text on what I deemed to be page 3 was obviously already an on going thread. Scratching my head I glanced down to bottom of page and realised what the problem was. I was in fact looking at page 11. So obviously quiet a bit of material missing. Flicking through further, once I arrived at page 18 I was amused to find the following page was a second run of pages beginning at page 11 again. The consequence's of this means I presume that a fair bit of material is missing towards the rear of the magazine on the latter pages which also go out of sync. Not sure if my copy is a one off (hopefully collectable in years to come ha ha). Or has anyone else come across this publishing error. Might drop MLI a line and see what there take is on matters.

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted August 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hopefully D7100s copy is a one off binding error. Just placed an order - I have a couple of these magazines (early BR shunters and NBL type 2s), and they are very well researched with good photos. Will help with my prototype HST project I hope.

D7100 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Now solved. Took my copy back to Smiths & exchanged. Checked other copies on shelve and all seemed to be ok so I presume I had a rogue one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Now solved. Took my copy back to Smiths & exchanged. Checked other copies on shelve and all seemed to be ok so I presume I had a rogue one. If it's any consolation, GWRJ had a faulty batch some issues ago, where they managed to turn them out with at least five completely blank pages....

Peter Kazmierczak Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Just checked my copy - pages OK. Wondering why the magazine includes illustratons of HST vehicles in FGW, Virgin, EMT and Cross Country liveries though, when the title is "The BR Days".......

JohnMartin90125 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The BR years! Even the largest picture of what goes where had the HST in current privitised livery of First Great Western as well as a plethora of others that should have been left to the following issue. Despite that, it was a good mag and, as usual, MLI does it far better than several books I've seen. I subscribed again to MLI at a cheaper rate than buying individual magazines but am not happy with the unwanted, aggressive marketing from Key Publishing. After the third copy of a previous six issue (12 month) subscription, I was getting some rather aggressive renew now messages, not to mention spam for their other publications before receiving the first subscription issue after indicating at the outset that they should not send marketing. I just hope I don't get any rogue issues like the example above (I hate dealing with customer services, you only have to see how bad they are on the Great British Locomotives thread...) Agressive, unwanted marketing does not inspire customer loyalty and it spoils the enjoyment one gets from the magazine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted August 19, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2014 The BR years!

Despite that, it was a good mag and, as usual, MLI does it far better than several books I've seen. ..... A good magazine but I too was surprised to see many privatisation era photos throughout the magazine in what was supposed to be the BR years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 MLI 209, covering part 2 of the HST story, is now out. Plenty of pictures of HSTs in different liveries, mostly taken in Devon. Next issue covers classes 89 and 90. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'd echo the post above; over 12% of the pictures in issue #209 are taken between Dawlish Warren and Aller Jn. Much as I love that stretch of line, a bit more variety in locations would've been good. Also I couldn't spot any photos of the GNER HSTs in their original livery without the orange/red passenger doors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
