I was just wondering how many of you have had your layouts featured in any of the big four magazines? Mine isn't good enough but I know a lot of yours on here are.
My layout "Lofthole Oil Terminal" and my mate Neal's "Horseblock Lane" have both been in Railway Modeller.
Cheers Jon :)

Well done Jôn :-)
I know of some but I'd rather the people came forward themselves. If they don't, I will >:D

WHO WHO WHO
My layout Beal & Castle Eden was featured in Railway Modeller five times between 1993 and 1997 :-[
Alas HOLLERTON JUNCTION has not had any such honour. :'(

By George I think you are right.. er George! ;)
Personally I do not think
HOLLERTON JUNCTION is good enough to grace the pages of any model railway publication. There are far better train sets out there than mine. I just hope my ramblings on the NGF entertain and hopefully help other modellers.
Kind regards
Paddy

Hope you didn't take offence buddy... what I mean is that it's time Hollerton Junction was published!
Just saw your reply on me phone and it makes no difference... get your great layout out there!
Get writing' mate! :beers: :thumbsup:
George
My layout, Polpendra, has been in both the Railway Modeller and Model Rail, I enjoyed both the photographing sessions and the opportunity to see my work in print. What was surreal was that we had the same photographer for both. Craig Tilley worked freelance, I think for Model Rail and photographed Polpendra then had started working at Railway Modeller for the photo shoot with the layout once more!
Great set of images in each case.
Best wishes
Simon

Offence? Good grief no. Taken very much in the spirit you wrote it George. These days it takes a lot to offend me - life is far too short. ;)

Four mags, I think you mean five!
My layouts, Highbury Colliery and Tucking Mill have been in Model Railway Journal, Railway Modeller, BRM and Model Rail. I've never written anything for Hornby magazine.
The N gauge model of Midsomer Norton which I built for a customer has also featured in Railway Modeller a couple of times.

G'day, Jerry, and welcome to the NGF! :thumbsup:
Kanjiyama appeared in Continental Modeller last year. It has also shown up in the N Gauge Society Journal, and will crop up in the next issue of the Japanese Railway Society 'Bullet-In'.
A previous layout, 'Yamanouch Oshika', appeared in two CM editions back in 2011, as well as a 'Bullet-In'.
Billingham appeared in Hornby magazine's Issue 43 dated January 2011 after having been approached by Mike Wild at 'Hornby Live'-
(Friends of Hartlepool MRC) Wynyard Park Exhibition in the July of 2010.
From what I remember, the original conversation was to ask if I would be interested in providing 2 to 3 thousand words(Easier said then done) for a feature on the layout to be published later that year.
A date for the photo shoot was agreed in the Autumn. So when the time came I set the layout up in the more spacious living room and the photography was undertaken by Mike himself.
Wording was provided the following week via Email and the article made the newsagents in the December.
Overall I thought it went quite well with only a few minor errors by myself one being leaving the wire that connects the tender to the loco sticking out of the cab on my J27, the other was failing to place a diesel brake tender to the front of a Class 37 with loose coupled hoppers in tow. :dunce:
