Info THE LIBRARY
#11

I finally managed to find some time to make some additions to the Library, which incude...
  • Four new issues of Model Cars, covering January to April 1966
  • Two issues of Auto Modeller from 1979 & 1980
  • SCX catalogue 2003
  • Carrera catalogue 2020
By my count that now takes us to over 100 complete publications, but there are plenty more to come.

As always, many thanks to those who are helping to feed the insatiable Library monster. She's a hungry beast, and I know that scanning each page is a long old job, so I salute you for your efforts. Thumbup

How can I collaborate?
I scan in jpg or pdf?
To which email should I send it?
which material is the most precious?

Hi Pechu_VLC, welcome to the forum, and thanks for the offer. Wavegreen 

You can scan in jpg or pdf. Jpeg is best, ideally around 1200px wide, but I can work with other formats or sizes, as long as they are large enough, and clear enough to read the text.

All slot car related publications are very welcome,  but I do prefer complete publications where possible, with nothing missing. Also please check the library first to avoid scanning something we've already got. I also have quite a few issues of Model Cars, Miniature Auto, Minature Autoworld and Model Car & Track which I haven't sorted and uploaded yet. But apart from that, any contributions would be gratefully received.

I'll mesage you with my email. Thumbup

Perfect, tell me what numbers of :

MC
MA
MAW
MC&T


you are missing, because it´s possible that I have some numbers.

Okay, I'll get onto that.

It won't be a quick job though. I've got 100s of folders of scans, and the only way to check whether a publication is complete is to go through it page by page.

OK I have been talking to Dave and he has a very advanced collection of the 3 main American magazines, he is missing a few numbers and I understand that sooner or later he will complete such collections.

Because Jason prefers complete collections and Dave prefers american magazines, therefore I will dedicate myself first to scanning the complete collection of Model Car Illustrated (MCI) magazine that I have. I will send a copy to Dave and Jason.

Later we will talk about what will be next.

Sounds like a good plan, I haven't got any issues of Model Car Illustrated.

I've been through all the issues of Model Cars that I've got...

As well as what I've already put in the Library, covering April 64 to April 66, I've also got May 66 to March 1970, though I'm missing March 69.

Then I've got a single issue from January 71.
