Me neither, I would have preferred at least one article of substance relating to N instead. I was pretty disappointed to be honest, other magazines (especially RM) seem to find a a much better balance between scales.

The poster will end up in the recycling and next month's Hornby Magaine will most likely stay on the shelf in its sealed wrapper!
