chertsey chopper Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Whils rooting around in my garage today I found some old Modelling mags from the seventies and a copy of Marshall's Book of Railways from 1961(more on that in a subsequent thread). The series of magazines was called History of Model and Miniature Railways...was in parts 1-45 as is stated on the first edition, and was printed by New English Library. When I counted them unfortunately two were missing from the otherwise whole lot. Numbers 17 and 18. I wonder if any forum members have;A/ any knowledge of these? or B/ any of them for sale particularly issues 17 and 18, or failing that, C/ where (if at all?) would be the best place to search?

Jules You could try the VCT at Ingrow on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway - they have a massive magazine stock. Stu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium steam-driven boy Posted May 24, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hi Both 17 & 18 listed here, I've had some backnumbers of other mags from them and they've been very good Regards, Gerry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chertsey chopper Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hi Both 17 & 18 listed here, I've had some backnumbers of other mags from them and they've been very good Regards, Gerry. Thanks very much for your reply Gerry, I thought that it would be a "very longshot", but I've placed my order for the two at £2.00 each! I'll look forward to adding them to the set. Certainly beats the sort of prices advertised on Amazon....but then it pays to be on here!!! Best wishes...jules Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 The VCT can also send magzines out in the post but you have the postal cost. Best to have a day on the KWVR and Embsay. I filled the early issues of Heritage Railway mag that I didn't have that way. The problem is that I know most of the VCT staff and so it can take some time to get away after putting the world to rights..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
