RMweb Gold Not Jeremy Posted April 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2023 As noted by Mick Nicholson over on the 294 thread, MRJ 295 has now been produced and is available to buy. A good issue with a variety of topics and subjects I think, in stock here in Bath and my more detailed take on it is here. Simon 11 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm not alone! I thought it was a bit thinner than usual. Not really a problem and if it helps with the economics of producing the magazine, I'm content with that. I'm in the habit of using the Cordex binders from Modern Bookbinders for my MRJs. I find that the "American" size binders with the 26 cord option can accomodate between 20 & 22 issues comfortably. Might now be more with the thnner paper.https://www.modernbookbinders.com/product/cordex-magazine-binder/ Mark 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bigcheeseplant Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 For some reason the photos of Charwelton in the 80s and Oldshaw seem to have been transposed on the Railex and Expo EM show previews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused the hell out of me until I figured out what had happened. I have to say that the photo of the 03 and 08 on page 71 is one of the most realistic photos I've ever seen...

Rumblestripe Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 The "wood" article sort of chimes with me. I'm taking infant steps into O gauge and my thinking is that I won't be building huge numbers of wagons like I would for a layout in say 4mm. So, might it be possible to use materials more closely analogous to the original? So, make my open wagons and vans out of wood (ply or perhaps strips of hard wood) with etched brass for the metal work with the exception of things like buffers and axle boxes which would (in my cunning scheming) be made from 3D printed resin. So I was delighted to read the article. Top issue (the paper does feel a little "thin" or is that my imagination?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article in a much earlier issue of MRJ regarding O gauge wooden bodied private owner wagons......not a lot of help if I can't give you the issue number.....
