  • "Just the Ticket" 6
    01 1 The above was penned during the last week of September, however with three days to go much of what you will find in this edition arrived with me. Despite this material suddenly giving the editor copy to work with, I still feel that much of the editorial which appears below remains pertintnet and so I have decided to leave it in unamended. elcome to the October edition of ‘Just the Ticket.’ Here in the UK we are now experiencing a true ‘Indian Summer’ as the nights have draw in, but the days continue W balmy, even hot at times under occasional unbroken blue skies, (or at any rate in my part of the country). You would think this should ensure even more opportunity to run trains on a garden layout – it does, but do I have the free-time to make use of the opportunity? Rarely it seems, and so for much of the time the locos and rolling stock patiently remain in the cupboard. Last month, I felt there was a very noticable slowing down of train related email traffic to and from myself, and began to see the submitted material to the newsletter getting distinctly thin on the ground. On the one hand, this is the continual challange to anyone fool enough to try and produce such a newsletter as they basically stand or fall by their quality of content but on the other hand the lone editor can hardly be expected to generate it all, which results in a dichotomy of readers eagerly looking forward to each new edtion and an editor sat wondering what on earth he can write about.
