Title: LooVille in the N-Scale Magazine
Post by: LooVille on February 09, 2016, 08:02:28 AM

Good Morning All.....

This is official now, so I think I can share it  :thumb:
For about 3 months towards the end of last year I have been working with the guys from N-Scale Magazine to do an article on my Layout.
What an awesome experience and lots of work and different types of pictures had to be taken to get the perfect shots.

We finally put together and awesome article and they gave me an 9 page spread and I got the Cover Page  :biggrin: This was really unexpected and I think it is a massive honour. I am over the moon....

Congrats! Only the third SA based layout I've seen (or will see) but the FIRST NORMAL SCALE one from SA.

I can imagine Evert.
BTW where is this mag available?

Hi Jörg,

This is the website for the Mag....
http://www.nscalemagazine.com/index.html

A few guys, I think we are about 10 or so, get the Mag from Edward. He order and pay for them from N-Scale and we just refund him once they arrive. I'm not to sure if there is any other way to get it.
There is a place on their site to subscribe and you can order on CD also.
I know http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/ also sell the Mag.

As far as I know I have not seen it here in SA.

Cheers,
Evert

I bring in 9 copies every 2nd month. Getting a little pricey now with the Rand so weak. R105/R110 each. Still a lot cheaper than buying a single one at a time...
