Yes, you're correct. The Gold membership means you only rent the magazines, unlike Pocketmags whereby you own them and these issues include extra images, extra video etc.

It's really somewhere that members can ask questions about their membership, the magazine, the website, shows etc within an area that won't get busy with posts from non-members. The same moderation rules will apply.

Hi. Thanks for becoming a member. At the moment there are no plans to extend past 2007. Older issues aren't stored digitally so we'd need to physically scan every page of every magazine. A huge job and one I wouldn't wish upon anyone. ha ha

You are correct. It's a 'membership' service (like Spotify) whereby you access the BRM Digital Library whilst you are a member, but once your membership expires your 'library' access expires too. We make sure this is really clear in the FAQs.

Trust me, that won't be happening here! Everyone will need to abide by the same rules.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but we've announced the Gold Membership TODAY...April 2nd!

Yes, it sounds very backwards but the ability to become a member via an online service will be up-and-running in the next few weeks.

Hi Stephen, Did you call yesterday? If so, your message is with Carly to call you back. She wasn't in the office yesterday PM. Steve

A 6-month digital subscription continues at £19.99 every six months until you decide to cancel.

The Digital Edition of BRM includes a mass of extra video footage and often comes with extra images and bonus articles and/or magazines. It's a bigger product compared to the print version.

Great work Daniel. It's brilliant to see readers' assembled card kits. Good effort too. Steve - BRM

STOP PRESS! We've just had it confirmed that the Missenden Modellers team will be exhibiting Ealing Road at The London Festival of Railway Modelling at Alexandra Palace on March 23 and 24, 2019.

Hi Andy, Hopefully the extras we've picked will do. We've tried to pick extras that we feel have mass market appeal. Take the Metcalfe kit as an example, it's a great project for beginners/newcomers yet, as you'll see from Phil's article in the magazine, it doesn't take a lot to improve it further. It can be used by modellers of all abilities. However, it unfortunately won't appeal to those who model in a scale other than 4mm. We aim for extras that have mass market appeal. Yes, we want to sell as many copies of the magazine as possible but we also want to grow the hobby. The more people who try their hand at modelling and as a consequence enter the hobby, the better it is for everyone. Anyway, ultimately I hope you love the magazine and that the extras are a little bonus. Steve

Hi Andy, The higher price will only apply to those issues with what we deem a substantial extra. Hope this helps. Steve

What I really loved about last night's episode was how it portrayed the hobby as fun and that it doesn't have to take itself so seriously. The winning Basingstoke layout was superb. Some great modelling, quirky features and a brilliant story as the train went around the various scenes. It perfectly combined what I really love about railway modelling. Well done Basingstoke.

Hi Huw, The RMweb emails had to stop with GDPR. But, as Andy says make sure your preferences on World-of-Railways are set-up to receive Phil's BRM Express emails. Thanks, Steve

Some really interesting comments here. We are, despite what some think, still very much testing what works in a Digital Edition. The current issue is packed with extras. The next issue is pretty much the normal print magazine in a digital format. We'll see how sales of print and digital vary over the two issues. We also need to take into account the significant amount of time required to add 'extras' to the DE. Another option is that we add a lot of the digital extras onto the DVD too. That way both digital formats get the same. We are listening... PS- sorry for any mistakes. I hate typing on a mobile phone!!

If you go to www.world-of-railways.co.uk and enter the 'readers offer' section you'll find it there.

Hi Stewart, Links should be emailed on Monday. Steve
