*BUMP* Final chance before they go to landfill which would be a shame.

Mayo Mayo

Any takers before they go to landfill/recycling??!!!

Professionally bound complete issues of 2004 and 2005 Model Railroader magazine in very good condition. Various odd issues of Model Railroader Various issues of Model Railroad and planning. Although mainly American focused there is plenty of reference material for all types of railway modelling. Collection only due to weight.

I have copied and pasted links to the original ads, hopefully it works!!

Nice looking Rat.

@DJ Dangerous Where are our samples ha-ha.

GLS 'good luck service'! Parcel finally delivered from Germany yesterday having been shipped on 30th Dec. Pity the retailer don't offer an alternative option for posting.

I got that too on my pc in chrome and firefox.

Looking at the thread on RMweb it seems to be a problem with UK based subscribers too!! (See latest post in that topic) https://www.rmweb.co.uk/forums/topic/186507-railway-modeller-subscription/page/2/#comment-5726087

Got a reply from GLS, seems a feeble excuse blaming Holyhead, especially as I have had delivery's from UK and EU since then. They did not even tell me where the parcel currently is! I have now contacted the supplier in Germany and await their reply. "Hey , Thankyou for reaching out to GLS Customer service. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. This parcel is still in transit and we are facing some delays due to backlog of parcels from December as these were stuck due to the holyhead issue. Please reach out if any further assist is required. Thanks. Regards Shhivansh GLS Customer Representative"

@Tarabuses Not sure what is happening with the Peco/Railway Modeller subscription issues. I emailed them earlier in the week about the January issue and they just sent a plain reply that a new issue will be sent out and no explanation as to why there are any issues with the postal/ delivery system. Anyway, this morning our postie delivered the January issue and another December copy? The December copy is a strange one, as I received that issue in a reasonable time frame in November and did not have to contact Peco about it.. Next will be to see when the February copy turns up which is out now.

Just need the class 45 now.

Yes, still waiting for my subscription copy! I have emailed them this morning about it especially as the February issue is out today.

Did you get your item from Germany? I got an order on the way label created and parcel collected 30th Dec, Email received on 3rd Jan saying package delayed and no tracking update since them. Sounds like the same courier service??

Have shared and posted on RMweb

Hi Tony, Have you received the January 2025 Railway Modeller yet? Still awaiting mine , very annoying especially when I saw copies in a newsagent in Roscommon about two weeks ago. Will give RM/Peco a call in the New year if if not had anything by then. My current subscription runs out with the March issue so I think I will change to the digital only version. .

Don't forget our class 50 samples, was it two you wanted.

No need for thread locking, if you don't like it just ignore it or not look at it.

You don't have to use code 75, obviously its more to scale but code 100 is fine especially once weathered and its more durable. At the end of the day its your choice and what you are happy with.

@Warbonnet ,Boskonay Hope you have enough samples, so far two for the west of Ireland and two for the Canary Islands. Just for a change from the mainland UK .

As DJ says, additional bracing , glued and screwed will give you a good solid baseboard. depending on the thickness of your baseboard tops, bracing will need to be about every 12" - 18" apart.

@BosKonay, if you have a spare sample to send to the west of Ireland for 'review' purposes,

Looks like it may be a problem for stuff that I/We currently get shipped 'up North'!! Wonder how it will work with the Parcel Motels? The BBC article is also not very clear about items going the other way, when sending stuff from the North to the mainland.

I quite like the Lima coaches, the only downside is the tension lock couplings. The Mk1's would benefit with replacing the tiny round buffers for some oval ones. I have recently got a few for a good price of eBay recently. Another advantage if you can get them cheap is they are good for practicing repainting with or doing conversions.
