Dropped through the letterbox just now ...

A quick scan shows an extra (N Gauge Supplier Compendium - although I would ask our NGS Committee people why this Forum is not listed in "Helpful Websites" whereas "the other place" is !), and that the Journal has received a "make-over".

Nice piccies from the model-making competition too  :thumbsup:, and a certain Mr Fagg has an article  ;)

Hi All,  Mine has just landed with a thud, on my doormat, hopefully I'm going to be able to sit down now and read it, with a nice cup of coffee.
Regards, Ken.

I could write a paragraph or two here on reasons, but most know so I wont waste my fingers.

Ditto, and ditto.

Hi,   I'm intrigued, I've been a member of the Society for a few years but obviously unaware of said reasons.
Regards,
Ken.

I really hope that we don't get a rehash of all that again !!!

Ken, please use the full Search functionality on here if you really want to know, so that this thread remains about this issue, and not all the old baggage ... you have two member names to help narrow down your search results.

Mine dropped on my head (literally!) this morning - not had more than a brief flick-through so far, but on the first impression it looks to be a realllllly good issue. :)

I agree, however it includes a shop order form but what do the shop sell ?
couple years back promissed a stock list , once a year but to date nothing.

dont say on line as I dont have a computor , better when old management was in order - what went wrong ???

Mine crashed on to the door mat this morning, I have had a quick browse and it looks like it is going to be another good read. :thumbsup:

Hi

The list used to be sent with each journal and I think it was last January when it's was changed to once a year. Maybe there will be one with journal 2/16.

Question how are you posting on here? What ever you are using for that should also give you access to the NGS shop website.

Cheers

I read through the supplement, and yes, was also surprised why RMWeb was included in the "Helpful Websites" section but the NGF was not. Would be curious for some explanation as the NGF is surely the better of the two websites when it comes to 2mm modelling.

That does seem a bit strange when that site or its parent firm's magazine seem to have very little N gauge content ( when I do bother to look anyway)

I think the Magazine has improved a lot since the new editor Graham took over. The magazine is for the readers from what I can see and needs our support. If our Mr Charles Fagg can write a article for the mag I might try my hand. Forget the past the future is what matters with the magazine and at the moment it is a good read and I am pleased with it.
