The printed edition of BRM has now been going since 1993. Over the years it has evolved and continues to do so, in-keeping with the times and the readership's demands, needs and wants. What it can't offer you though is movement. Plain text and static images often leave the layout to be 'imagined' as a whole by the reader and in today's world where an increasing number of layouts are being operated by DCC with sound and lights, it just seems a shame to neglect these aspects.
This is where video comes in. Our digital edition of BRM features (whenever possible) layout videos that I have shot when 'out and about' on my travels.
Last year in September at the Accrington show organised by Blackburn & East Lancs MRC, I filmed Mick Bryan and Peter Taylor's 'New Bryford'. Something that I liked and wanted in the magazine. The quality of the layout reflected the talents of both modellers and it was a pleasure to spend time filming and interviewing them.
New Bryford is in the June '14 issue of BRM on sale now.
Another of my favourites was Monks Bay that I shot in April of this year on the coast at Mablethorpe. If you have children that are interested in railways or the beach, why not combine the two for a great afternoon out?
If you'd like to see more of these videos, simply subscribe to our youtube channel or take out a digital subscription to BRM. Let us know what you think!
