Re: Narrow Gauge & Industrial Railway Modelling REVIEW
Roy Link
开云体育A note to those concerned about the time it takes to receive their copies of the REVIEW.Before Bob Barlow took over the magazine, myself and my wife, Anjela used to bag up, address and frank every single subscriber copy. Then I took them down to the nearest sorting office for distribution. Unfortunately, Anjela fell pray to Heart & lung failure - and is now an invalid. I myself had to have my right Kidney removed because of cancer - which is now in my bladder. These events meant Bob’s offer to take over the magazine came at a most opportune time. Bob soon grew tired of despatching the magazine himself, and changed printers to one local to him which also offered despatch. No one could have predicted that Bob himself would die suddenly - he was the fit one . . . I was determined to keep the magazine going, as seamlessly as possible, and before he died Bob and his wife rowena very kindly gifted the magazine back to me - but my health is now such that I can’t go back to direct distribution. The UK issues get delivered within a space of about 4 working days, as the printer reaches the number of items for economic despatch very quickly. The further away subscribers are, the longer it takes, as the numbers take longer to reach the target required. ?I know the copies to Europe and the USA have been arriving - as I’m seeing renewals from those areas.? As I approach the age of seventy it is quite a strain on my health just putting together each issue for you - though I do now get invaluable help from John Clutterbuck (web site & admin) and David Hughes (proof reading). In amongst preparing each issue and bringing it to print, I also have to process orders for back issues, books etc., entirely on my own. Without 'mail consolidation', I could not provide the magazine physically - the saving in cost is really a bonus that has helped keep the cover stable over the past six or more years. Please be patient . . .? Roy Tel:01766 530784 email: rclpubs@... website:www.narrowgaugeandindustrial.co.uk On 17 Nov 2016, at 10:27, ianajng@... [O14] <O14@...> wrote:

I can relate to the logistics. I guess we have no other option, than to
wait! I am sure the reading content will be all worth it – when it is

Hello Bruce, Like Rod, I’m in Victoria, and I’ve not seen my copy yet either.? Unfortunately the use of a mail consolidator in the UK, which apparently reduces the postage costs,? has seriously impacted on the delivery time to Australia from how it used to be.?? I guess because there are so few copies coming to Australia, it’s low priority at the consolidators. For some reason I now can’t reply using the forum, the page does not respond to the mouseclick. So this is being posted as an email, so I’ve no idea if it’ll come through.? (Recently upgraded ( ???)? to Windoooze 10 )? Cheers Ian J? |

Mickleover Derby 7mmNG Open Day
? The Trent Valley Area Group would like to invite all members, friends and other railway modellers to their Open Day?on 21st January. Please note that this is at a new venue. After many years at the Community Centre, we have moved a few hundred yards down the road to Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Centre. This is the Catholic Church Hall next to the petrol station by the roundabout in the centre of Mickleover. The new venue gives us more space which is all in one large room and so we won’t have displays hidden in classrooms where operators felt left out of the main event. There is a large kitchen and so we will still be able to provide refreshments and another benefit is a separate car park which is not shared with the library users. The only disadvantage is the cost which means a reluctant increase in our admission price to ?4 but we hope all our visitors agree that it’s worth it. This event should see the first public viewing of the replacement to our Henmore layout which had been featured in both Narrow Lines and Railway Modeller. After sustaining some damage at the York show, it was agreed to scrap it and start again - whilst the planning was a long and slow process, we have now reached a point where we would like to share its development with our visitors. Trade support already agreed with Association Sales, Second-Hand Sales, EDM Models and Port Wynnstay Models. Anyone wishing to bring a layout, model display, demonstration, items for sale etc should contact Mike Bellamy by email mike.bellamy@... with their details. Please offer us something to fill the hall otherwise we'll all be rather lonely ! TRENT VALLEY AREA GROUP MICKLEOVER (DERBY) OPEN DAY OUR LADY OF LOURDES PARISH CENTRE 36 UTTOXETER ROAD MICKLEOVER DERBY DE3 9GE SATURDAY 21ST JANUARY 2017 OPEN 10.00am to 4.00pm ADMISSION ?4.

Narrow Gauge & Industrial Railway Modelling REVIEW
开云体育Has anyone received their subscription copy of "Narrow Gauge and Industrial Railway Modelling Review" No.108 yet? On their website blog it says that "Issue 108 has been sent to the printers. Despatch to UK subscribers should occur end of October." Note that this seems to have been changed recently - I seem to
remember that the entry originally said "the middle of October"! -- Brian Rumary England brian(at)rumary.co.uk |

Re: motors for Wrightlines WW1 Simplex
Tim, Hollywood will do a BullAnt bogie to TT fine = 14.2mm gauge and do go down to TT coarse = 12mm so an exactly 14mm gauge version ought to be possible. I would go for one of those, unless you want to run the turtle with its doors open when there might be visibility of motor issues. Adrian |

Re: motors for Wrightlines WW1 Simplex
Hi Tim Mine is on the Wrightlines 014 motor bogie and fits fine.? Top end is a little lively - but then no-one shoots at it on Rhyd!? Slow running is perfectly acceptible. I understand the Black Beetle is not easy to regauge down to 14mm and both the Halling and BullAnt are probably too high for the cast floor - but may be possible if you cut bits away.

Hi all,
?
I’m just wondering what experience you all might have of building the
Wrightlines WW1 Simplex “Tin Turtles”? I have a kit W225 and was wondering about
the best way to motorise it.
?
Should I use a Keykits motor-bogey, or perhaps a Black-Beetle? Does the KB
scale chassis fit?
?
Also are there any other little extra details or known issues with the
kit?
?
Any help and advice very gratefully received.

Thanks, Tim |

Re: The Stronalacher Saga
开云体育Mark,
I use the .png as the bases of all my artwork, however when it comes to
doing makersplates or anything requiring fine detail such as lettering etc.. I
draw the artwork 10 times larger, and then take that file into Coral Draw and
reduce it to the required actual size, that way I can etch lettering that is
perhaps only .2mm. high [point two millimetre]
See photos of other models I have built all fully etched chassis and body
work.

Hi Brian, I'm seriously impressed if you do your own etching! It also explains why you don't have any issues using a bitmap format for the images: PNG is a bitmap format. As to scaling I didn't? mean for scaling the entire artwork for differing modelling scales, more changing the size of a part if you initially mis-measured etc. Clearly if you do the entire process yourself (still really impressed by that!) then you'll have found a process that works perfectly for you, I'd just be concerned for anyone starting out from scratch and wanting to have a company do the actual etching, and in that instance I'd strongly suggest they use a vector drawing program or at least check with the etcher first before investing lots of time in producing drawings as bitmaps, Mark On 12/10/16 20:56, rallim56@...
