That's probably a disadvantage of Google's "scan your emails for hints for our customers to pick what ads to send you" system. They might not be directly reading your private emails but the effect is that it's making the spam harder to automatically differentiate from useful mail.

Issue 8 dropped through my letterbox today and what a goodie it is too. Excellent to see RevolutioN featured so well, especially the 35T Class B tanks. Maybe that will give an injection to the numbers.
Some excellent in depth features on shunters, Gresley pacifics and the last piece of their very good coach stock article, although I felt the finish was rushed. I have yet to read the articles on easi-shunt couplings and application of vinyls.
The NGF got a very small mention in an article about N gauge on t'interweb but maybe we'll get a little more in the next issue which continues the article.
There is also an explanation as to the ins and outs of their e mail address problems.

My copy crashed onto the mat today as well only, had a quick scan thru' but looks good.

Mine also arrived today.
A quick scan reveals plenty of interest. Looking forward to reading it later.

Paid in May, numerous emails with the last being sent on the 14th.....  Howard replied today apologising and is sending me issues 6-8!     He'll investigate why my order wasn't recognised.

Good to hear you got a response

N Gauge Now #9 is now available

An enjoyable read as always.  I would like to see the picture/photo quality improve (lots are pixelated), and less internet images.  I'm also still waiting to be contacted about the NGF advertising....  I completely give up on that now.

A great effort though, and interesting articles.

Paper.

Yep.  Nine has arrived today.  Guess I have  one more before having to decide whether to re-subscribe

One for each life?

Received mine but not opened it yet.
The layout 'Heatherley' is that of my local model railway club.

Surely too many "oily sheds" and "multi coloured worms" for you on that layout er Nobby? And even then a lack of Green "oily sheds" 

I jest of course, I am sure they allow you to run the odd "Kettle Special" 

P.S. Glad your hospital visit went well today.

Mine arrived today. The last before I must re-subscribe.
I'm in two minds ..........is it really that interesting ?
Hmmmmm.........I'm not at all sure. I'm thinking that if I saw it on sale in a newsagents I might pick it up, have a quick flick through then put it back without purchasing.
A bold attempt (which should be applauded) at a purely N Gauge magazine  but for me , after the first 9 copies....I'm afraid I'm not really sold on it.
I suppose to sum up mildly interesting but far from riveting.

Thank you!
I didn't say I was a member of said club as, having done way too much duty on committees, I prefer to plough my own furrow now. Besides, I can't afford the subscription

Got mine yesterday and i think it is a great read, the trainspotters article's are great. I think for a totally N Gauge Magazine it's brilliant and i feel give them time and it will get better, remember they are new to it just like we all where at railway modelling at some point.
I think i will continue to support them and hopefully it may grow into a brilliant monthly.
