    Great Western Journal 103

    in Other Magazines

    Posted · Edited by GBMRG

    Don't blame your local WHS branch. I was told some time ago by the staff in Newtown that Smiths HQ would quite often delete a magazine from their list; they found out when it didn't arrive.

    To be honest I agree. The staff in WHS on the ground who I have spoken with about 103 have been very professional and have been very accommodating to assisting in the hunt for my elusive prey. I feel they are taking the brunt of HQ’s lack of customer focus. Also, similar to a fellow contributor to this thread, I am seriously contemplating the ditching WHS going forward to being a source of buying publications....

    Great Western Railway Journal No 101

    Hello all,

     

    A chance call into WHS (Windsor) today revealed some copies, and successfully obtained, after trailing round for the last few weeks of the quarterly hunt, which I do find part of the charm and building appreciation of the read!

     

    I will be sorry to see the changes arrive but I can understand why. For such a specialist journal it has been a great legacy to modellers and historians alike.

     

    All the best for the New Year,

    Hi,

     

    I thought a good while ago that this little corner of Newport would make a great layout, either on its own or part of a larger one.  A quick look on the internet has brought up the following:

    Looking forward to seeing progress on this project and Ranlegh Bridge........

    P.S.  Having looked a bit further on https://www.flickr.com/search/?q=godfrey+road+newport and depending upon your era, there's more potential than I first thought..........!!!

    Many thanks, I have now placed an order on Amazon.

     

     

     

    Just had a look at the plans, there would certainly be of use. They seem a bit expensive, so I will wait for the book to arrive as they may be in there. If they are not in the book then I will have to buy the ones that I need.

     

    Hello again.

     

    There are some signalling diagrams in the book along with the track plan and building elevations but may not be enough detail for your period.

     

    Best regards,
