Martync Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Just got my copy from Alton Model Centre. Looks very good - especially the article on Cratfield. Always had a soft spot for the "Middy", as my Uncle had a cottage near Wilby. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegreenly Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 MRJ 287 just arrived in the post (back to a stiffened envelope so a little bit of useful cardboard buildings material!}. So far looks like an OK issue, although I'm not really impressed by the rather dismal night-shots of a layout, but each to his own. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davegreenly Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Drove to Motherwell from Merseyside on business a couple of times one winter. Snow, Ice, really miserable. However, meetings were in a couple of distilleries so..........not bad really!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted January 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Smiffed my copy in glorious sunshine in Seaton this morning, followed by a visit to Frydays. Only fly in the ointment was the long diversion via Sidbury for the road works over Honiton Common was still in force coming home.

wagonman Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I actually managed to snaffle a copy from Starlings in Holt this morning. They have recently started stocking it for which no doubt I can thank the North Norfolk Railway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin1985 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Is there any significance to the change of address? Now both editorial and subscriptions c/o Elgar Books, Huddersfield. It doesn't seem long ago that the address changed from Didcot to Bath. I remember some chatter about the proprietors (Paul Karu?) wanting to retire from it at some point, around the time the 8 issue subscription option was removed. Perhaps the new address signals some changes on this front? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the new address signals some changes on this front? No significance and no thoughts of retirement just yet. The new address is simply that of the new printers and is more convenient for distribution, nothing else to read into it. Jerry 4 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1466 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Mine arrived yesterday in poly bag with reminder to renew subscription which I will do today . We had company, so I had to wait 5 nerve shredding hours before I could get my fix of MRJ . Aaaah . A pleasure delayed …… 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Now you're talking - a visit to Frydays, top notch (why else would anybody to Seaton - unless they liked little trams - or needed to buy a copy of MRJ?). BTW my copy arrived yesterday afternoon in my shopping bag - so yes, they're now on the shelf in the local branch of WHS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted January 22, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2022 I got my mitts on a copy this afternoon, before adjourning to the pub, I will flick through it at bedtime and then give it a thorough perusal in the morning, if I'm lucky I might even get a fry up in bed, but I may be living in cloud cuckoo land. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. This is a very unusual layout in any case, being essentially built as a night time scene. You hardly ever see this. It's also been enlarged recently and the modelling is top notch. I'd have happily seen twice that number of pages devoted to it! Perhaps the one thing lacking was a track plan, most of us like a track plan, don't we? Oh, and the other thing I would have liked was a little more text on what Jim has been doing with the layout recently. Ah, and also a few photos taken prior to sun-set, so that we can admire the excellent modelling a little better! 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigw Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I ordered my copy today from The Titfield Thunderbolt. I like to support a good bookshop so this issue of MRJ only cost me 60GBP (plus postage). Regards, Craig W 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
