JC Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Is it any good?? Does it resemble the old Farm & site mag?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Not bad I'd say for a first issue. I Cant compare it to F&S as I never had that. Theres 50 odd pages including news about forthcoming events, releases ets. Reviews and pics of recent releases , including construction plant. Articles about how Britains went about making the 5000 Valmet forestry machines, Warner Hall on Model ploughs , Brian Norman Models, Various dioramas a few auction results and lots of adverts from Model dealers / makers. The mag is prited on good paper and is full of colour pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 will this mag be on sale at spalding do you think :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorsday Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 IH684Lcabman, I am sure it will be at Spalding as Tim Bolton usually has a stand there. He won't miss the opportunity to sell it to the people who matter. I have a copy here and to be honest it is very good. Some of the pics are a bit big (they could probably have got away with 24 pages instead of 32) but for the money - ?10 for 6 issues - it is amazing value. For a first effort I would say it is very good. Regards Rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Picked it up in a local newagents today - not bad at all for a first issue. Never had Farm & Site so can't compare, but on a first brief glance there seems to be plenty to interest in there. Had a brief skim through the Brian Norman feature - has a nice big photo of the MF1200...some good stuff in the diorama section too. Very promising indeed.

gromittigger Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 G & M have the magazine for sale on their website ?3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Picked up a copy of the new magazine in WH Smiths in Norwich yesterday morning. The contents look good and interesting and it has a feel of quality about it. I hope it prospers and continues to be published for a long period in the future. The key to its success could be keeping it on sale at WH Smiths and that will only happen if people buy it from Smiths as WHS have a new policy on magazines and don't sell everyone produced like they did in the past.

PDH Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'll try and get in there tomorrow then when i go to town :) Good luck Ben. I've found each WHS is different so it'll be interesting to see which branches sell the magazine. I'm going into Exeter tomorrow and I'll take a look in WHS there. Pretty sure that if the branch sold Vintage Tractor then they should sell the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I have read it but didn't buy it as I got a loan of it. Definite feel of quality about it - might be better reduced by a few pages as some of the pics are fillers - but definetly a good start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Not found one nearby yet but I'll definately keep looking for one, especially after a certain phonecall I had this morning................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
