Liam Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Looking forward to reading this when the print issue comes out. The DVD looks very good too from watching the video above - I think dropping into a pub for a swift half is a great way to round off a visit to Pendon!

RMweb Gold sjrixon Posted January 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2018 The extra video on Buckingham is great. Not actually read any magazine yet, maybe need a swift half and then have a read. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR8700 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I have a print subscription but for this issue I would like to see all the additional digitalfeatures, would downloading this single issue allow me access to all the additional features or is it necessary to have a full digital subscription?

You will get access to all the digital extras with a single issue purchase. Hope you enjoy it. For me, this issue was one of the most enjoyable to generate content for I've ever had; I had chance to run a couple of trains on Buckingham, spent hours in the company of Dave and Shirley Rowe and had an enjoyable as always trip to Jerry Clifford's to snap Tucking Mill. Phil and I had a load of material to carry over from Pendon in February for the DVD too, I talk about the trains of my yesteryear with Dennis Lovett too - can't grumble about that for a month's work! 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Pteremy Posted January 26, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2018 Enjoyed both the magazine and 'DVD'. Real insight into the challenge of 'maintaining' Pendon. But also strong emphasis on 'operation'. Hope it does well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed the BRM DVD, the best I've seen to date! I found the digital exclusives really interesting, especially the Buckingham video which I've always wanted to see on film. I find vintage model railways really interesting, especially because they tend to balance interesting operation with scenery. Nice one guys! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony 'one-take' Gee is an absolute natural and gives us a great narrative about Buckingham's history and it's quirks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Grafarman Posted January 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 29, 2018 Is it just me or are the David Jenkinson pictures on pages 54/55 of the print copy a bit blurred/pixelated? Otherwise it's an excellent read this month. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 29, 2018 Arrived on the doormat today. Now I haven't looked at the DVD (must attach the disc reader to the 'puter sometime, yes - I know, but I really need some extra USB sockets as well) but the printed version is amazing, absolutely superb bit of editing of content and enough to keep those of us with past memories smiling for many a day. Congratulations on one of the most attractive and interesting 'general market railway modelling magazine' grouping of contents I have seen in a very long time; bloomin' good pics too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted January 30, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 30, 2018 Now that the issue has appeared it is a good time for me to say a big thank you to Andy Y. I have had a most enjoyable couple of days spent sorting out the photos for Buckingham and a follow up article on Leighton Buzzard, plus the video shoot. I mentioned to Andy that modern digital camera technology should give an opportunity to get some new angles and views on what must be the most photographed and published layout there has been and he managed to do that very nicely indeed. He managed to make the layout look very good indeed, in both the stills and the video. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Griffin Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 My issue arrived today, althought the pictures on pages 53/54/55/56 seem pixialted and out of focus, which is a shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted February 1, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2018 Interesting typo on page 82, I know it can be a bit of a long wait for some of Bachmann's new toolings but 18,000 years?!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted February 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2018 Not all trolls are on the 'net. Some people might suggest that most* still seem to be. (*Presumably, this means the ones that haven't been banned yet. OK - this might be slightly harsh - but, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any 100% effective way of completely eliminating them from any site that allows people to post things, or add their comments.)

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2018 The DVD should play in your BluRay DVD player attached to your TV (assuming that you have one, and that Mrs Stationmaster isn't watching Corrie) Somewhat OT but for information we do have several tv sets, we don't have a BluRay DVD player and I doubt if our tv sets would know what one is anyway. And Mrs Stationmaster would be mortally offended to the point where your own continuing mortality would be in considerable doubt for suggesting or even hinting that she watches Corrie - 'Only Connect' is more in her line! PS I have received an alternative solution to the watching of the dvd - and it works (VM thanks to the gentleman who sent it). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravensdmufan Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Collected my saved copy from my local newsagents this morning. Enjoyed the content, but the photographs on pages 52-56 look really fuzzy. Tony Wright's photos deserve better. Would it be possible to reproduce them properly on here or give us a link to view them please - same as you did for the missing pages from last months edition.

Tony Wright's photos deserve better. Would it be possible to reproduce them properly on here or give us a link to view them please - same as you did for the missing pages from last months edition. The problem is with those that the images were extracted from the digital files of an earlier supplement, the original files seem to be in the Bourne Triangle - it is a shame as they are not up to the standard that Tony's original images would be. If they ever surface we will let you know. By way of compensation here's a couple more Buckingham pics that weren't included in the print mag which show some of the fine work on the layout. I was having a conversation with a friend today saying that I (and he) prefer less conventional shots of layouts than the ones the editors always play safe with. I think the print copy is a bit too dark too (similar comments from friends) I'm afraid. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
