OO9 NEWS 500th issue

[cp.409067]

*

First impressions are very positive and when, last night, I started to read it I was very impressed. This is a splendid way to mark the 500th issue.

Congratulations to all concerned - especially Garry Whiting. Well done Sir, and thank you.

The Philip Hancock article on the Winchburgh lines is an absolute gem.

Pleased you liked it CP.

Rod, the PDH article was great to include, different topic to the rest, and no modelling on show, but well worth printing again.

As I have said in another place my copy has not yet arrived.
The ELMRC PDH Collection contains the original typed copy of the article, the originals of the drawings and some if not all of the photographs.   There are also a few good unpublished photographs plus his notebook in  which  he wrote up the  notes he made during his visit(s) to the line.  Regrettably he never completed his note writing.
Looking forward to Monday's post.

Have I missed this issue?

The trouble I have had with email lately I would  not  be  surprised,  I switched to 'Thunderbird' on Thursday, loosing some stuffbut touch wood all good so far..

Doug, it's in the process of arriving everywhere by post at the mo - some got it in the Saturday post, some didn't. I don't think the PDF version has gone out yet, but it should do soon. Give it a day or two more and let us know if it doesn't arrive.

I got home yesterday after working away for the week and it was waiting for me on the top of my mail pile.
Just had a flick through and it looks an excellent issue, I look forward to reading it properly.

As a fairly newcomer to 009 and the Society (now starting my fourth year as a member) it will be good to read some of the older articles to see what was happening and being modelled through the decades.

Thank you to those involved in creating the issue and to those who have written the articles over the years.

Thank you, Tom, I looked forward  to it.

I have been very impressed  with the standard of presentation  and content of the 'News' , long may it continue!

I've not yet seen it, but being across the pond it may take even longer to arrive.  ;D

Received my e-version today. As a recent member, I look forward to reading the articles from past issues.

Wow!

Safely downloaded, it could equally be called 'All one needs to know about OO9 modelling.'

Thank you to everybody involved in producing it,

Doug

Brilliant !!!

Congratulations to Mr Whiting on a wonderful selection of articles and to the Editorial team for republishing them.

Having been a member for longer than I care to remember (35+ years) and with a full set of 009 News none of it was 'new' (and I was pleased to see a few of my own favourites in there) but it was interesting to see where we have come from and how hangs have changed, especially the News itself looking back at the early issues produced on a gestetner machine!

Well done Gary, an excellent selection and a thoroughly good read.

Many thanks for your efforts.
