First 2011 Magazine
Posted by Mt Beenak on Friday, January 14, 2011 2:11 AM

I read a post that said somebody got their February 2011 Garden Railways on Christmas eve.  I used to get mine a month before the issue date, but have not seen it yet.  Has any one from Australia received their first new year mag yet?

Hello Mick, I have not received the Garden Railways Magazine yet.  I have been hanging out for it. Been looking at the British Garden Rails mag which has great and detailed colour photos, which has kept me satisfied.

Missing Magazine
Posted by Mt Beenak on Friday, February 11, 2011 9:33 PM

Update.  I have the whole team at Garden Railways and the whole Kalmbach distribution team looking for my missing magazine.  I didn't know I could cause this much trouble.  How do I delete this thread before the Postal Service start coming after me?

I could delete this thread for you, but you're not causing any trouble, really. You paid for the magazine, so you should receive it in a timely manner.Smile

Rene et al,

I received my magazine today. Thank you for your concerns.  I am now at peace.  I will read every word over the next few days, and if the stars align, I will get the April issue within a few weeks.

Life is good...

April Magazine.
Posted by Mt Beenak on Sunday, February 27, 2011 9:57 PM

Well I may have been the last to get the February 11 Magazine, but I think I may be the first to get the April issue.  It arrived today, 28th February.

Happy reading.

Mine came yesterday, the 28th. Posted from USA.     February issue went missing & the  one to replace that  missing issue, came from France.

Great issue though, --- 

Also - perhaps as a long term subscriber we could have a "masterclass" ( like in another forum), where we can build a reasonable quality loco, either steam or diesel, etc.

It would make a great long term series.

Just a thought.

Sean,

You forget that Oz is 10 hours ahead of the US, (and just 25 years behind).

P.S.  How long has there been a 4.30 in the morning?  I thought there was only one, in the middle of the afternoon.
