General Discussion / Railway Modeller Digital Archi...
Last post by icairns - Yesterday at 11:56:14 PM
I have a Railway Modeller subscription and, consequently, access to the RM digital archive.

Previously, the digital archive was accessed via Exact Editions.  By trial and error, I have now realized that the digital archive has been transferred to www.pocketmags.com

I had received no information about this transfer but I have had a couple of minor issues with my RM subscription.  I know that Peco's Harburn Hobbies retail outlet has taken over RM subscriptions and I found this notice on the Harburn Hobbies website:

https://www.harburnhobbies.co.uk/pages/peco-publications-magazine-subscriptions-update

However, my problem now is trying to use the pocketmags search function when I have my Railway Modeller magazines shown on my computer screen.

When I enter a keyword into the search library box, I always get the answer "No Results Found" even though I know the keyword to be in an edition of Railway Modeller.

Has anyone tried the pocketmags search function and been successful in finding editions that contain a particular keyword? 

I have contacted help@pocketmags.com to ask this question but no response so far. 
 
Thank you.

Ian

General Discussion / 2027 wall calendar
Last post by Newportnobby - October 12, 2026, 04:35:17 PM
As I get medical appointments for long into the next year I probably tend to purchase a wall calendar well in advance of other folk, and it's always railway themed and not modern at all.
This year's arrived today and it has some wonderful pictures of paintings by Philip D. Hawkins.
I wouldn't put him in the same class as, say, David Shepherd, but they are certainly evocative of my time as a 'gricer' and I would recommend it to the house

Delivery has now slipped to February 2027.

Assuming it's their sound profile they do indeed specify that it's a GWR sound project.

Kato provided a sound fitted version SKU during the first 9 car run...not sure if Kato factory installed it or they contracted it out. I purchased it when they first came out from a retailer in the UK, but am I am just now trying to troubleshoot it (life got in the way, you know, and frankly it's not that big of a deal).

I think that the chips were installed by Youchoos.

I will reach out to Youchoos.  Thanks!

Hi Dave,

Won't have dissappeared...



These are all done in batches and sometimes- due to lack of time (apparently), there are none on his shelf to sell!

Phil H

His ebay page says that he is away until the 21st October. So I imagine that his listings will pop up again soon after.
