Adams442T Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Just dropped on the mat, along with Narrow Gauge Review no. 102! Gordon Gravett's next project after Pempoul, Arun Quay, looks interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted May 1, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 1, 2015 The 2mm model St Ruth (Penzance) is a ten page delight. Also the continuation from MRJ 130 of Chis Lamacraft's 'Hemyock is lovely 'eye candy' The neat fold-up undercarriage of Gordon G's Arun Quay (7mm) is very interesting. Another excellent issue.

chrisf Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 No-one has credited the guest editor [barry Norman] so far. He has assembled an eclectic mix. Mr Franks's new brake cylinder looks most attractive, as does Karl Crowther's extensive blending of rival Class 25s to make one very good one. There is quite an art in that part of the hobby and it is a matter of some regret to me that many of the skilled craftsmen who do that sort of thing no longer inhabit this forum. The article is a very good use of eight pages. St Ruth has always struck me as one of the better presented 2mmFS layouts around and it was good to read more about it. My admiration of what the exponents of that discipline do is no secret and I have to convince myself once more that those pink things sticking out form my hands are not all thumbs, however they may behave. The preview of Chris Lamacraft's Hemyock is well timed for its appearance at ExpoEM. I must ask him if he has ever thought of making one or more of his milk tanks self propelled to replicate the gravitation move out of the creamery. Although of a later period, Steve Cook's "Paint, and a small piece of glazing" chimes well with Hemyock because of the presence of two Hornby Thompsons on the branch in its last year or so of passenger service. I always like reading about what other people have done to coaches. In this case it is applying well-placed and well-chosen finishing touches which gild an already impressive lily. What Steve does not tell us is whether the glazing comes out without major carnage: I suspect not. As if all that were not enough, Gordon Gravett's new project already looks interesting and will become more so as it progresses. A good issue indeed. Apologies for rubbing it in to those who haunt their local newsagent with increasing desperation. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Arun Quay - An Introduction (Gordon Gravett) Cant wait to see what Gordon is up to! Will it be possible to top Pempoul? By the way, I am going to London for the weekend and planned to go to the Ian Allen Stor to to get the latest issues of MRJ. Anyone know how many back issues Ian Allen usually have in stock?

Horsetan Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 ....Anyone know how many back issues Ian Allen usually have in stock? If it's the Waterloo branch, they don't keep back issues. Any unsold copies get sent back to Wild Swan / Cygnet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted May 6, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 6, 2015 I'm hardly near London but I do keep in stock all available back issues of MRJ at all times. East side of Bath, a pleasant HST journey and a walk or two away from Waterloo.... http://www.titfield.co.uk Apologies for advertising myself but I'm not sure anyone else holds all the back isues. I'm attending Expo EM and Railex too if that were of any help in this context. Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Any shops in London that might stock back issues of MRJ? Given that most, if not all, model railway shops in London have gone to the grave, I'd say the chances of that are very small indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
