Howard Smith Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Looking forward to the weekend, yet? Here's something to look forward to – our action-packed, boredom busting, all-shiny new issue of BRM goes live! Download your copy this Friday from pocketmags.com/BRM and swap lockdown blues for uplifting miniature creations. In this episode of BRM TV, we tour Alsager Model Railway Association’s large N gauge club layout ‘Fredstone Lane’ and its main lines. Plus, Phil Parker shares guidance for constructing your first wagon chassis and Howard Smith airbrushes sleepers to make a common lineside detail for BRM’s project layout. In this issue, we feature four great layouts: Fredstone Lane (N) Bridgefield Quarries (O) Woodside (OO) and Byway MPD (OO) Practical BRM gives you great tips for: ... drawing your ideal layout plan... ...creating great rust effects using hairspray... ...building an LNER 'Pigeon' van multi-media kit... ...constructing a pit head from a brass kit using glue... ... and BRM's project layout Runcorn Salt Union is complete as the final details are added. We also explore British Railways uniforms so you can model them accurately, no matter what your scale of choice. All this and more, in the June issue of BRM, with BRM TV, on-sale this Friday from www.pocketmags.com/BRM 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you tell me when the printed version is expected to be available and will it have a DVD this time ? Fair comment - certainly, I don't seem to be getting any chance to get on with modelmaking projects. OK - this might have something to do with some family issues preventing me from getting any "me time" - but it's still incredibly frustrating, as I've got a few projects very close to the point where I could easily get something worthwhile done if I actually got the chance. As for the printed versions of the magazines, there's been some great stuff in recent issues of BRM. The issues I've seen of Garden Rail have also been rather good - but not all of them seem to have been finding their way into the shops round here. I guess I might have to try checking shows, or model shops - whenever the current lockdown finally ends (hopefully in time for Warley - with all of last year being "knocked out" for me by various family issues, it's now 18 months since I was last able to get to a show). Huw. Edited May 12, 2020 by Huw Griffiths In view of other people's comments on a related issue in another thread, I felt that some points could do with rewording / clarification. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we'll proceed as per last time - digital subscribers will get it and print subscribers where we have contact details will be emailed the link.

steve1 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Found a copy in my local Spar shop. Never seen it in there before. Bought it for something to look at during lockdown. Pleased to see an old friend and his layout in there, Dave Spencer. I knew him when we were both members of Marlow, Maidenhead & District club. steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew him when we were both members of Marlow, Maidenhead & District club. steve Dave is a really good modeller, I got to know him when we joined the Bentley crew in Chippenham within a week of each other and we meet up every couple of weeks (virtually at the moment) for some beer and model making. Dave taught me a lot about wagon weathering and scenics which he is excellent at. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) What does the cover of the retail/shop magazines look like, or is that plastered in 'Bumper Digital Issue' too. Why? because the person who collects my copy from Sainsburys (this Wednesday) likes to have a photo on his phone to ensure he picks up the right magazine. I'm still in lockdown, etc., Thank you.

Penlan Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 AY Mod, many thanks. 'Nature Calls', as he's picking up various Ales. Ciders etc., to sustain our house for another week, I think he will see the connection Words unfortunately are not enough for a description of BRM, as he has demonstrated in the past with wrong mags.... So a photo of the cover helps him to select. Model Railways is an alien subject to him. No trouble getting the right Beers/Ciders though, 'Bath Gem' and 'Thatchers Gold'. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penlan Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 And why don't I have the Digital version? (Or subs, but that's another matter) Once read, and anything useful copied, the mags go to the local Hospital for patients. It's a small hospital, so no Smiths etc., to upset. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted June 14, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) @ Chris Fletcher-Smith (letter published in BRM), Are you reading this? I can suggest a solution to your shed dilemma if you’re interested. I built a shed to my own specification, including doors, insulation and making and glazing my own window frames. My experience might be useful for you...??? It is still standing some years later . It’s a very useful space, no problems yet and I’m very glad that I’ve got it.
