I think it's dependent upon local sorting and delivery via Royal Mail. I've not seen the subs copy at RMweb Towers but they're on their way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted April 23, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 23, 2020 Thanks for the update Andy and I know that the Royal Mail has been affected in my local area, so Post can be a bit hit and miss at times, 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny777 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 The BRM TV section with the online mag is excellent. I just love Kepier Colliery, very inspirational. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a soft spot for that since I saw it probably ten years ago. So much appealing detail in a great scene; doesn't take up too much space and John's such a lovely bloke. I could listen to his tales for ages. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart2day Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) This is why I don’t subscribe to BRM. Not a single diesel or electric loco or unit in sight on any of those layouts. You should rename it British Steam Railway Modelling. Edited April 24, 2020 by bart2day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beejack Posted April 25, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2020 Just received my subcribers copy through the post today but minus the DVD. The welcome column mentions that this is sadly only available to digital subscribers for the time being due to the current situation. With previous digital editions I've purchased and indeed the recent free digital sample of the March edition, the DVD is hosted on YouTube. So why couldn't you have made it available to paper subscribers via a link printed in the magazine? I know that there will still be a few who prefer or can only watch via a dvd player, but at least you would have allowed as many of your subscribers as possible to view the DVD. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certainly did miss this sequence - after all, by definition, anyone who isn't a subscriber won't be a digital subscriber - and won't have access to any of the DVD content right now. As for whether / when the BRM team / Warners are in a position to offer non digital subscribers access to this material, I suspect we might find out in due course. Understandably, I would prefer not to get involved in any speculation on this issue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too prefer the paper copy with DVD, sadly we don't have fast internet, and it never displays well on my portable device... I was slightly confused as I saw various adverts saying free dvd with this content... then I saw others saying digital content... when I purchased the mag (paper version) the description also mention extra content but wasn't clear if it did or didn't have a dvd. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beejack Posted April 27, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 27, 2020 Thanks Steve Looking through my emails I found it.

Piscator Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hello Steve, I too have missed the link, and thought the dvd was missing till I read the editors intro. could you mail me the link also please. thank you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Had a quick flick through the issue when the postie delivered it yesterday morning. I could certainly get used to Industrial themed issues, this looks fantastic. Tempted by one of those Planet Industrials diesels for my micro layout, that's for sure! I'm glad I subscribed, thank you to all involved! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs on a Tenshodo SPUD, so conversion is possible (I'm told) but a little tricky. You'd need to put breaks in the connections from the pickups to the motor. Not out of the question, but not a plug-in either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edward66 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The Dent layout is simply superb, quite difficult to distinguish it from the photos of the real thing! The only tiny criticism I have is that I don't think you would see a bus on the coal road, I don't even think a bus could make it to the station car park up the narrow winding road, steep and including a very tight hairpin bend.
