I think you're looking at the previous edition. Rod's article is about a powered wagon

Unfortunately I haven't received my copy yet Rik. Hopefully it will drop on the mat this morning......

Still not received my copy yet even been in touch with the editor about it. I have sent an email to customer services however and they are like me disappointed that it hasn't arrived. Not has much as me though. They are sending me another copy. I also thought that anyone who had an article printed in the magazine, they would receive a free copy sent to them. Didn't get it if that is the case.

Still not to worry, I am glad that it was included in the magazine and hopefully other members and anyone else can see what can be achieved with some coffee stirrers....


I do enjoy reading the articles in the magazine, there have been so many things that I have taken up, some I have done and some that are still on the "to do" list. Also it is a source of inspiration in how peoples lines have progressed and turned from a wilderness, to one of beauty, with possibly enjoyment from anyone who lives there. The person or persons who have built the line and the person or persons who look after the greenery.

Would I send anything else in, you are so right I would. I learnt more again on how to produce something for printing in a magazine, I have never ever done anything like that in my life. I did get encouragement from some members of this wonderful forum too. Hopefully the editor will ask me to send another article in, maybe on my "Water Mill" build. It does give you confidence to build more, I just wish it wasn't so difficult to do putting into print on my laptop and then transferring it.

It was for me....

I didn't get a freebie copy after my article went in last month. Maybe they're cutting back?

I have an email from Phil Parker saying I would get a free copy when my article was publish, published in August, no free copy, not that it bothers me as I subscribe anyhow, but a contract is what it says!!

I have now been able to see my article in the Garden Rail magazine. I have to say it is well laid out and I am so pleased that it is able to show others how to easily make anything really with a little bit of imagination. I have had loads of ideas which has really come from other members builds. It is a real pleasure to be able to build something with the help and very kind response's that are given to members no matter what they do.

Therefore I would like to say a very big THANK YOU to all those members who have helped and encouraged me this last few years, without it I wouldn't have had the confidence to build my wagon and get it printed.
