Administrators Phil Parker Posted November 29, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted November 29, 2018 Our dignity in that Marklin My world video. Fortunately, that one isn't in there. Too much else for people to watch! Your interrogation of the trade is a bit exciting though. Paxman would think, "He's being a bit harsh" in a couple of them.

Administrators Phil Parker Posted November 29, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted November 29, 2018 Which of the e-newsletter options does one have to tick to get BRM Express? Go for "All aspects of railway modelling" - it covers everything. I'll remind the web people that we really need to re-write that list... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted November 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 29, 2018 Your interrogation of the trade is a bit exciting though. Paxman would think, "He's being a bit harsh" in a couple of them. There's just one thing viewers need to know: "Did you threaten to overrule him?" I trust we won't need to ask 14 times - and still not get a straight answer ... . Joking aside, this stuff promises to be interesting - I guess I'll just have to see if there's any way of signing up for BRM Express directly from this site. Like (it seems) a number of other members of this site, I've been having "fun" trying to work out how to get BRM Express since GDPR kicked in - this isn't helped by the fact it's quite a while since I last did anything with my "World of Railways" account (that is, apart from click on some flag labelled "forgotten password" a number of months back - so guess what's happened in the meantime). OK, in my defence, I have had rather a lot to deal with recently - so trying to remember some login details that were last really used "in anger" when Warners sold "Ally Pally" tickets direct to people like me might not be my #1 priority right now. I'm not making excuses - just stating facts. Huw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is - you click on the link at the top of the page and set up an account. If you can't remember your old login then set up a new one. I'm sure if there is a duplicate account, it won't be the end of the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted November 30, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 30, 2018 A plea for help I guess from those in the know / on the inside: have I missed it? Noting that there's article in today's e-newsletter on plywood baseboards which I'd be very interested in seeing, I've logged into my account and updated my preferences accordingly to start receiving the e-newsletter, but have only been able to do so in the past few minutes (when people who can have gone home for the weekend). I'm therefore wondering if I've missed this edition - and the article I'm after. If I have, is there another way of accessing the content? It sounds like there's some fun stuff too, but I'm focusing: it may have taken 40 years for me to realise that failure to ever build a proper baseboard has probably hindered progress on any of my many layout ideas, but I'm getting there. Mind you, the amount of paper I've drawn on over the decades could also have made up a decent quantity of wood too... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornholio Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Is there another way of accessing the content? I can't work out how to post a link to the whole newsletter, but this is the article you wanted: https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/brm/information/how-to-build-a-model-railway-baseboard Best wishes Andrew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your interrogation of the trade is a bit exciting though. Paxman would think, "He's being a bit harsh" in a couple of them. Interesting questioning but hardly up to John Humphreys' or Paxman's rottweiler style. Mind you he did drag quite lot out of Accuracsale and that was an achievement with those folk! And I really liked Phil's presentation of the Bismarck but I was waiting to find out how much the etched kit would cost Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JohnR Posted December 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 1, 2018 I foresee that Bismark kit being launched as a partwork in January! Heres the weird thing - I have an account already on the website (as a subscriber), and I seem to have the boxes checked to receive the newsletters, but havnt had one for ages! I certainly didnt receive this months BRM express. Whats gone wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Phil Parker Posted December 2, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted December 2, 2018 Check your Spam folders.

RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted January 15, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hi. Has there been a BRM Express since 30th Nov 2018? Something I read about the 2019 Cakebox Challenge suggested there has been - if so it looks like I didn't manage to register correctly when I tried updating my preferences in my World-of-Railways account at the end of November as I've not had anything. I asked the question on the cakebox challenge thread as I couldn't find a generic BRM Express topic / thread to use but should probably have posted it here instead, sorry. I have checked for spam - in my email and kitchen cupboards... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
