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'

Surely the Ffyfes banana van and the 7-plank wagon on the cover predate their own stated time period?

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.... :)

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.
