I like to support a good bookshop so this issue of MRJ only cost me 60GBP (plus postage). Same here. I just wish Simon wouldn't include those pictures of gauge 1 diesel hydraulics in the parcels. I keep getting tempted towards larger scale modelling.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased a Wild Swan Album on diesel hydraulics because of some of those dratted postcards he includes! Regards, Craig W 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Zero Gravitas Posted January 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2022 As ever, another splendid issue. One question - are the laser-cut wagons in James Aitken's article 4mm or 7mm? I'm sort of guessing 7 mm, but it would be nice to have that confirmed. (and, as ever, it is entirely possible that the article does actually tell me and that I've missed it...) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted February 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2022 Good issue. I particularly enjoyed James Wells' article on the Hornby 08. Out of my period/gauge but much in the way of useful information and a good read. It would be nice to see more articles from James. Cratfield is a delight. Again out of my period but much by way of inspiration offered by the lovely images. A splendid model railway and a fitting tribute to the late John Watson. One which I will be referring back to on many occasions. All in all, an enjoyable issue. Rob. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, yes, I take it to be 7mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigw Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 The postal gods were very good to me today and delivered MRJ and some other goodies. I enjoyed MRJ, the 08 article was excellent and i was very taken by Cratfield. The photos of Brettell Road I did enjoy, I am quite happy looking at artistic photos. As an aside, if you do not have the Diesel Hydraulic book I would highly recommend it. I model the 1920s GWR and have no real interest in the 60s and later but the photos in this book are just superb. Regards, Craig W 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted February 4, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2022 Page 470. Didn't like to mention it. Doesn't detract from a great set of images though.. Rob. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
