RMweb Premium John Isherwood Posted May 7 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 7 (edited) A long shot !!! I have for disposal a large quantity of model railway and full scale railway magazines. The magazines are, in several cases, continuous runs from the 1960s, and occupy three book cases. The magazines, together with the book cases if required, can be collected from our home in Bodmin, Cornwall, at a mutually convenient time. If anyone is interested in acquiring these magazines, or knows of someone or some other organisation who may be, please let me know. The magazines need to be collected within a reasonably short timescale - the carpet beneath is to be replaced, and the bookcases are not going back! The alternative, unfortunately, is that the magazine collection will go for recycling. John Isherwood. Edited May 7 by cctransuk 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly - but I'm afraid all 650kg. of the collection went to the local recycling centre a week ago! Sorry, John Isherwood. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did - my local Bodmin & Wenford Steam Railway; not interested! As above, the lot - all 650kg. of them - went for recycling! CJI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they could have probably sold them on even if it was for only 10p each or something. At least you did something good for the environment. I tried too and mine and almost all of mine went to recycling too. Bluebell used to take them but not any more, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ian Posted August 15 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15 (edited) When I had a model shop there was a huge pile of modelling magazines that someone had left with me for anyone to have as many of as they wanted. No one even looked at them and they all eventually went for recycling. Edited August 16 by ian 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted August 17 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 17 Fact is that no one is interested in old magazines. They, sadly, have the same value as old newspapers. I had Railway Modeller from c1964 to c1990 with a few Constructor, MRN and Model Railroader mags. Eventually I cut out the articles I was interested in and put them in one ring binder and the rest went to recycling leaving me with several feet of free shelf space.
