The Warcop Emporium on the Eden Valley Railway has for many years had a lot of magazines on sale, to the extent that a separate magazine room was planned. This has not happened and a serious cull is going to happen later this year, much as it hurts to dispose of material donated to the railway. As the local recycling centre is on land belonging to the Eden Valley Railway Trust (EVRT) it is not all bad, as the Trust gets a percentage of revenues raised.
Some of the news magazines are already disposed of quite quickly as they just do not sell. Others are kept for longer but rarely sell (even at the low prices offered), although there are two or three avid magazine collectors who turn up with long lists and take some of them. What does sell are the railway history mags, society mags and modelling mags. There seems to be quite a demand for modelling magazines from the 1950s and 1960s. If any from the 1930s or 1940s appears then they are snapped up very quickly.
The EVRT was fortunate to receive a large donation of railway history mags a couple of years ago and now has plenty on sale. All that is needed is for people to come and buy them.
