Some good(ish) news.  My September copy arrived today.  For the first time in months I have the magazine in the month before its cover date, as is meant to happen.   

Mine  arrived today as well along with the replacement August  copy.  I See that  it was posted via  Royal Mail and  not some  other  shiping firm  this  time.  Hopefully  Peco/Railway Modeller  have  sorted  out  the  postage  problems.

Seen that too John-Athlone and Galway Easons don’t seem to stock any railway magazines. 

Was in the Galway branch yesterday and was delighted to find single copies of both RM and BRM. This was the first time I found railway magazines there in a long, long time.

November Modeller out today and still waiting for my October copy!   Emailed RM subs department last week and told a replacement being sent out once again. 

[Tarabuses]

Snap.  Our experiences run in parallel each month.

Replacement  October  copy  recieved  today.  No sign of origional copy.   Just wait and see when  November issue  turns up??

[Tarabuses]

Our copies obviously travel together since I received the replacement today too.

It now looks as though the October issue I received last week was the original copy as the replacement arrived today along with the November issue.

Snap!   not sure what is going on with the RM distribution, thought they would have sorted it by now, especially since having issues sines the April 2024 copy.

It makes no sense as the last two months have been sent Royal Mail, which is different to previous months, but the delays continue.

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.  .

 

[Tarabuses]

No, I don't have the January 2025 copy yet although I suspect the Christmas post might be to blame this time (being optimistic). I thought the delivery problems might be behind us when the November and December copies arrived fairly promptly (just 2 weeks late!).

Anyone else waiting on the January issue, only received mine today so I’d say maybe only a couple more days. Hope this helps.

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

@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.

[Tarabuses]

Strange indeed, especially since I haven't received January yet.

As with yourself, those two copies of Railway Modeller arrived with me today.  I think that's Rod Stewart's second time on the cover of RM.

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
