Maybe. But I haven't seen it yet. I was just going on what has been posted. 

 

 

 

The point about them never being funny stands though.

 

Now this is funny and is still true today fifty years later.

The "best" of 4 cartoons illustrating a "lighthearted" article (a Christmas Fantasy) about model railways on page 332 of the December 1965 RM.

 

December 1970 brought another cheerful cartoon with one character being positioned under a signal and being told by another to wait for the arm to drop to get "the biggest Christmas surprise in your life"...

My copy of the current Bachmann catalogue contains a price list.

The price list is separate; the prices are not printed in the catalogue. I bought my Bachmann catalogue from Bachmann at Ally Pally earlier this year, and it did not come with a price list.

It's always interesting to see how how online subscribers cope with the 'lack of' issued items. I have a annual renewal, so I do see the added items, but then again I question why do I need the online piece as once my subscription runs out so does my access..

Is there any way for us online subscribers to get the free Metcalfe kit?  Address to contact or something? I don't mind paying a contribution to the postage.

 

EDIT - Dropped a friendly email to Peco (address is available on their website) and within minutes had a very nice reply saying they would pop one in the post to me in the morning.

It's a handy free kit but what I do find irritating is it's description as OO/HO. Either it's 4mm to the foot or it's 3.5mm to the foot. It can't be both.

 

Interesting mag though.

The days of Airfix kits are still with us!
