RMweb Gold Fen End Pit Posted November 15, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2014 Now I'm not too precious about my layout 'Fen End Pit' but I do think it is bad form to find photographs of your layout printed in a magazine without being asked. So, I hope you liked the picture(s) of Fen End Pit in the November RM. I've not seen them as by the time I found out about it the magazine was off the shelves. I don't know who took the pictures or wrote the article which used them, please consider yourself glared at, it isn't as if I wouldn't have been glad to see them published or that I'm difficult to get hold of to ask.

Tim V Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Shocking, I'm surprised you're not more upset, plus someone has made a fee from your work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted November 15, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2014 From what you say, as you've not seen them, are you certain they are of your layout ? Just asking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one of my friends had spotted them and I got several 'oh there was a picture of this in RM at the show I did in Epping last week. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevelewis Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 It may be me but looking thro the pages of NOV RM ( presume this means Railway Modeller) I can find no reference to FEN END PIT, unless the name refers to something within an article which has a different title? Back in 1984 I found a picture of one of my locos adorning the frontcover of an annual related to a magazine longsince discontinued, iiwas never asked if I approved of that!! ( But I was quite pleased to see it!!) Further perusal of the said magazine has answered my question Page 859 the 2nd page of a 2 page article 'Plan of the Month', "An ironstone Line" One photo featuring a dragline excavator and loco+ v Skips, Caption notes layout 1:32 built by David Barham for his 'Fen End' sandpit layout.

Arthur Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 There's a single photograph in the bottom corner of page 859 showing a Ruston Bucyrus dragline with a loading hopper and a n.g. train to the rear. It's a two page article on modelling ironstone lines. The photograph is described as of 'David Barham's Fen End sand pit' layout. No photographer is credited. Edit, Steve added the above info to his post as I was posting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDuty Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I'm constantly amazed at the differences between UK and USA attitudes about things like this. Over here, if the photo was taken at a public exhibition there's no expectation of privacy of or control by the subject. I agree it would have been nice to ask before publishing, though!

davefrk Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I tend to agree, I'm involved with a club layout that has been used a few times for exhibition posters without even an acknowledgement, some were even our own photos from a previous article. Okay one could say they paid for the article so could use the photos anyhow they wish but to be asked would be nice. On my own products I've just been told by the author that an article using our bufferstops is due in one of the magazines over Christmas, I did supply the items initially when permission was sought and it would be good advertising anyway.
