December 009 News cover image

[invercloy]

Hi all,

I've been on the lookout for a seasonal image to use as the cover shot on the December issue of the 009 News, but am drawing short straws...

If any of you have seasonal images that may suit the cover please can you email me at contents@009society.com

Thanks,
Tom

It might be corny but I am pretty sure Peco would agree, how about the shot on the Craig and Mertonford of Alistair in the snow used on the front of the December 61 toddler? I know it's black and white but is still a timeless shot and maybe we SHOULD look backwards at Christmas? I've just been to look in my copy of Narrow Gauge Adventure to tell you what page it's on but can't find it so must be mistaken. Garry could scan it for you and email it to you.

Interesting idea, thanks Rod. All for looking backwards, so I'll see if it's possible to get permission from Peco if there are no other suggestions that come along.

Alistair in the snow is not in my copy of Narrow Gauge Adventure so I think Rod may be mistaken.  There is also Angus in the snow on the cover of RM Dec 1956.  I have scanned copies which I have e-mailed to you.

Thanks Malcolm, much appreciated!

I haven't seen the Alistair in the snow photo in NG Adventure either but it is certainly on the cover of RM Dec 61. Too big to post here, but I've scanned it as a jpeg image if you'd like me to email to you Tom?

As an alternative, if you ask Ted very nicely, he has done a range of Christmassy photos of the C&DR which he has used on his personalised Christmas Cards over the years, maybe one of these is suitable as it won't have been previously published?

I didn't say the photo was in Narrow Gauge Adventure, I said I thought it was but when I looked for it couldn't find it and realised I must have been mistaken!

Thanks Mick, but I've now got a copy of the CMR cover image.

I had wondered about one of Ted's snowy images and forgot about his unpublished ones, that's also a good idea... Paging Mr. Polet :)
