April 2021 009 News

[Julian Evison]

The April 2021 edition of the 009 News went in to the post in Leeds on Thursday morning (25th March). Unusually, even in these disrupted times, they haven't yet (Monday afternoon) started appearing in people's letter boxes. If you have received your April News, please could you reply to this.


Thanks, Julian

Hi Julian, April 009 News arrived today in Oxfordshire, very pleased with the free Society kit enclosed, an invisible wagon for my layout, should look good, oops forgot, you won't be able to see it as it's invisible!  :)

Hello Barry,

Thank you - that is welcome information.

You need to be wary of those invisible wagons, they're the cause of many otherwise unexplained derailments and crashes.  :)

My kit arrived today, no sign of the news though.
Unusually I assembled it immediately sadly I'm struggling to get a coat of primer to adhere.
Any tips.?

Looking forward to the .pdf version of the kit....

Arrived this morning. Couldn't see the invisible wagon, though

Thanks everyone - it looks like they are now beginning to appear in various parts of the country which is a relief!

The invisible kit is a special feature of the April edition. The virtual invisible kit which goes to those who receive the electronic edition is a major technical innovation.

The postie delivered the News this morning and I managed to get to the door before the dog. The kit is now assembled as best I could manage and the glue is drying.

009News arrived this am.  Thanks to Chris for many editions - sadly no kit but as I don't model in that scale/gauge please pass my kit on to someone who will appreciate it!!

It's automatically rescaled from 00 to H0 for us, Engerth, so you are ok! Trouble is it has a distinct ghostly British look to it...  ;D

Just arrived in sunny Mansfield.

Yes it arrived here in Kent on Monday :-)

I didn't notice the  bit about the free kit and spent ages staring at the loco, coming to the conclusion that it must be the springs under the D in C&D  !
