westerner Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I see the August issue is due out today, but none of my local shops which stock it, have it. Also a friend who has it on subscription hasn't had his. Is there a delay at the printers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted July 9, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 9, 2010 In Smiffs at Lancaster today - lots of interest - Potterbourne looks very interesting and has come over very well indeed - ISTR that the feature layout, Trenglos has been covered before, or was that in RM?

mikeyk Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Not got my subscription copy yet, usually turns up the day before the shops have it, or the same day. Last time it didn't arrive, I called the subs dept and was told to wait a week then call again if it still had not turned up. It didn't, so a replacement copy was sent. Twice HM has got 'lost' before. But MR only once, and I have been a subscriber to MR for a very long time. Annoying, but both mags put the situation right within a reasonable time frame. EDIT: Latest HM has just been delivered, postman did the neighbours' houses before coming here, thought we had no mail! Now for a long read! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Savoyard Posted July 11, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2010 I was talking to Hornby Magazine team at Hartlepool and they said there was a delay by a day or so from the printers therefore the subscription copies were late.

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 12, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2010 In Smiffs at Lancaster today - lots of interest - Potterbourne looks very interesting and has come over very well indeed - ISTR that the feature layout, Trenglos has been covered before, or was that in RM? Hi Treneglos has appeared before - it was in Hornby Mag's 2nd yearbook. Mike Wild asked that we write a subsequent article covering something different from the normal baseboards, track, electrics, scenery etc layout description. This article concentrates on the motive power that ran on the North Cornwall and includes a number of new photos that didn't appear in the yearbook. The yearbook has a much smaller circulation than the monthly mag and Mike was keen than the layout was seen by a larger audience. The finished article does have some subtle changes from my submitted draft and one in particular now makes a statement which isn't true... There's a section that mentions which locos didn't run West of Exeter. My original text said this: "Whilst looking at what did run on the NCR, it’s probably worth also mentioning which other RTR Southern locomotives didn’t or couldn’t run there: • Bulleid’s Merchant Navy class were never known to have run west of Exeter Central due to their weight • The rebuilds of Bulleid’s lightweight pacifics (West Country & Battle of Britain) were heavier than the originals and too heavy for the Padstow line • Maunsell’s King Arthurs only occasionally reached Meldon Quarry" The revised / shortened text gives the impression that rebuilt Bulleid light pacifics didn't run West of Exeter. This of course isn't true - they were eventually cleared to run on the line through Okehampton and Tavistock to Plymouth. I'm expecting a number of "dear sirs" in the September letters page correcting this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a quiet one for you this month Ian Now, how many of the 2010 challenge layouts will appear with an aquaduct with the free narrow boat kit rather than an overbridge disguising the fiddle yard entrance Nice kit tho, will have to make it sometime, will look good on Summat Colliery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted July 14, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 14, 2010 Treneglos has appeared before - it was in Hornby Mag's 2nd yearbook.

Guest Phil Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Bought my copy today Bit bemused by the free kit for the narrow boat - the owning company. Is it a Wildism ? Burrows Horton & Layton Ltd [sounds like] Fellows Morton & Clayton Ltd the very large canal haulage operation. Good issue this month Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
