Can be pre ordered now to save at least £1. Issue is due out end Jan 2022.
I've always found these great reference books and have the 'Spotter's Guide to British Locomotives' and their 'Collector's Guide to British Passenger Rolling Stock 1967-2020'
https://www.ngaugemodelling.co.uk/ourshop/prod_7693856-PREORDER-COLLECTORS-GUIDE-TO-BRITISH-FREIGHT-ROLLING-STOCK-IN-N-GAUGE-19682020.html (https://www.ngaugemodelling.co.uk/ourshop/prod_7693856-PREORDER-COLLECTORS-GUIDE-TO-BRITISH-FREIGHT-ROLLING-STOCK-IN-N-GAUGE-19682020.html)
Surely the Ffyfes banana van and the 7-plank wagon on the cover predate their own stated time period?
Was just thinking that myself
Agreed - so perhaps a clearer title should be 'N Gauge British freight rolling stock produced 1968-2020' - ? Then someone could produce 'British freight rolling stock 1968-2020 produced in N Gauge' - !
Oh interesting thought. I assumed it was stock that operated in that period, not stock that was produced in that period; which is basically everything!
Anyone had any sight of theirs arriving yet?
Or a notice of an expected delay?

No - but their normal quarterly mag is frequently delayed so I'm not surprised.

I admit to getting royally :censored: off with these people and their supposed publication dates, and am actually starting to worry they may have taken my money and are going under :worried:
I've paid for this item and the next 4 copies of N Gauge Now!

N Gauge Now magazine :-
My Issue 28 (Winter 2021/2022) arrived 13th December.
Issue 29 (Spring 2022) due early March I believe.
I too have paid for 4 issues up front.
But the rolling stock guide was due out almost a month ago and nothing has been heard.
I can understand your frustration with the apparent delay; I too have invested in a pre-order and 12 month subscription.
I have no knowledge of, or connection with the publishers, but as far as I can see they seem to be pretty much a one man organisation.
As a newcomer to the hobby ( familiar story - engine, wagons and track purchased on retirement....and rediscovered on lockdown!), I have found both the magazines and the previous guides really useful.
Perhaps because of this I am prepared to cut a bit of slack....I quite appreciate that others may not feel the same.. ;)

Likewise, Steve, but this is hardly the first time they have been late with an issue. Not only that, but the silence is deafening, as the saying goes.
Just delivered in this morning's post.... :)
Mine arrived today too :thumbsup:
Some people are just so impatient :no:
Still not received mine so I e mailed Howard Foy. I'm led to believe some have still to be sent out and (hopefully) mine will go in the post tomorrow.
I think they've only sent them out to subscription numbers beginning 2 2 so far :D

I waited 4 days for that order to arrive you know. I think the threat to turn up at the shop in a tutu got it sorted in the end. They even refunded the postage :D
It has arrived today, along with an apology slip also explaining the Spring Issue of N Gauge Now will be delayed by some 14 days from its original date.
I would refer the Rt Hon members to page 25 and GraFar reference 3605.
It would seem they chucked any old 20ft containers at it they could find.
The guide shows 'OOCL + OCL + Freightliner'
The 2 I have contain 3 x 'Freightliner Limited'
A quick Google (they can't touch you for it) shows one with 'OOCL + Zanussi + Hapag-Lloyd
Any further combinations out there? :D

Loads!
Hope that helps :no:
I have seen OOCL, ACL, CP ships, OCL, Ford, Freightliner , Dart, ONE ,zanussi, hapag Lloyd if that helps
Mine isn't here either yet. I've been buying these since the first issue, and from what I remember it was just the first three issues that were on time. I think Howard is doing a great job, as it must be difficult to organise everything, and in a timely manner.
ONE didn't exist when the original wagons were released, it only came into existence about five years ago.
I served on a Dart line ship, so made sure I have one of their containers. The consortium included CP Ships. OOCL had, at the time I served, a 25% share in DART, and we carried lots of their boxes.

Thanks for the correction it must have been an odd container I have seen with ONE as I brought a rake from somebody and I chose the old freightliner livery.
I have a couple of these wagons:
