Garden Rail magazine.
Has anyone got the latest issue of Garden Rail? if not, why not???
There is a six page feature on a certain Welsh railway in the depths of east anglia.
In fact it's going to be quite a month for the Maesffordd Railway. We've got into the 16mm association DVD, albeit just in the still pictures on the end credits, One of our pictures is being used for the publicity posters for this years Llanfair show, and next sunday sees us getting another visit from Mr Found to film another episode of Narrow Gauge in the Garden. PHEWWWWW! I haven't had time to stop and catch my breath so far, what with our trip to Llanberis last week (Hi William, nice to finally meet you, glad you got yourself a forklift, you were having too much fun with the EAG's one! what about getting one of the big drag-line cranes next?)
anyway, nice to be back.
later dudes.

Certainly have got Garden Rail and the said certain article has got me thinking about how I can 'charecterise' my railway!
Hmmm, drag-line crane, depends on the price . Nice to meet you also Paul. Hope the weather is good for the filming. I forgot to ask you at the exhibition, whether or not you had the Rover with you?

I think the crane is probably about fifty quid.SillyBilly wrote:Certainly have got Garden Rail and the said certain article has got me thinking about how I can 'charecterise' my railway!

The weather was fantastic, Paul Perryman managed to blag me a cab ride on the lake railway aboard Elidir, so there'll be some video of that coming up soon.
Sadly I couldn't bring the Rover as it's on winter lay-up, waiting for warm spring wether to return. Shame as I would dearly love to hear that V8 engine echoing through the valleys, making easy work of the hills. Bit expensive on fuel though, at 20MPG MAX, it would cost me about £150 there and back. She'll do the journey one day, when I'm rich! LOL

Talk to your local Newsagent. If you give him the details of the magazine and the publisher he should be able to get you a copy every month. That's what I did, spoke to the bloke that runs our village shop, he gets a copy in for me every month.MTA wrote:I suspect I will have to start getting Garden Rail again!
Although annoyingly they do not accept my debit card so I cannot subscribe, grrrr....

The mag arrived yesterday. A very nice article Paul, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It has caused me to think deeply about how to try to achieve some of the atmosphere your line obviously has, and mine obviously lacks.

I get too many other railway magazines on subscription, to warrant getting Garden Rail as well.
Unfortunately it does not seem to be stocked by any of my local newsagents so that I could buy an interesting issue as necessary.
And I left it too late to get the back issues that covered the Cheddar Iver & Cheddar/GRS Tram reviews.
I also get confused on ebay when sellers list it as a Calendar month and not a number - the indexes available on the Garden Rail website only mention Issue numbers and not months. Are these Calendar month issues well before Atlantic Publishers took on Garden Rail?

Sorry I should have explained myself better.
These issues I've seen which just had a calendar month on the cover are early issues, and I wonder if Garden Rail existed as another magazine prior to Issue No.1 July/August 1993 of the current Atlantic Publishers' Garden Rail Magazine.
I've just been keeping my eye out for issues that had Mamod modifications, plus the Cheddar reviews as listed above.

I beleive it was called Garden Railay World, wich originated from Tom Coopers steamlinesCCairns wrote:Sorry I should have explained myself better.
