Why,

don’t you fella’s change over to having this mag sent out as a PDF. file, that way it is almost instant all over the world, much more environmentally compatible and for those that like to have a paper copy they can simply print it out for themselves.

In addition to that it could be at the end of each 12 month period a PDF. is done containing all of the previous 12 months which gives you the option then of being able to do a search to find a article, instead of flicking through countless mags trying to find the article you are looking for.

Ah, I see. I just think the middle man might slow down your receipt. But no reason to rock the boat if you’re happy.

At age 77, my definition of "real time" is somewhat "skewed" anyway, and I know that each issue of "Review" and "MRJ' will be a "treat" at whatever time I receive them, so, it "works for me".

And rub some more - it’s also arrived in the /West/ Midlands (well, Shropshire) ;-)

Cheers

Sorry to rub it in Andrew, but I've heard it's got to Berlin too! I'm sure it will arrive soon.

Hi Marc,

I have an Agenoria (now part of the EDM range) Penrhyn 'Port' class and a Penrhyn 'Large Quarry' class, both of these in real life have a 4ft wheel base, the Alice class has a 3ft 3in wheel base. I have a small quarry layout in O14 which has curves with a radius of 250mm and the little 0-4-0's navigate these with no problem although I've had to employ some gauge widening. The biggest issue is that these little Hunslets had quite a long overhang, overall lengths for these locos was 13ft for the Alice class and 13ft 10in for the Penrhyn loco's, which poses a problem for coupling. Slate wagons and waste wagons tend to have very little overhang which means on tight curves your couplings must have enough side to side movement to accommodate the difference in overhang. The Penryhn used a centre buffer whereas the Dinorwic Quarry used dumb buffers on their loco's which provides an even bigger challenge especially when propelling stock due to potential buffer lock on curves, especially reverse curves. Being 0-4-0's and having a relatively short wheel base means these little loco's will navigate around perhaps unprototypically tight curves, I think the real issue is how to couple your loco's to your stock.?

Regards,

Mark.
