This may mean nothing but I cannot help but notice that a recent RM layout of the month was a particularly fine P4 Cheshire Lines layout which took part in the P4S's 18.83 challenge.
The reason that it caught my attention was the odd choice of RM to debut such a fine layout, this is not to say that RM is not worthy but why not MRJ? Having allowed this thought to rattle around in my head, I took a look at the most recent issue of MRJ and it dawned on me that MRJ really is not to place that I would debut my layout.
RM's presentation of the layout was informative, in colour (not one of MRJ's strong points) and provided a decent track plan, Steve Flint's images were top notch and even SWMBO* was impressed. By contrast a recent layout in MRJ had none of these essential features and the overall presentation looked rather amateurish to say the least.
