If you've enjoyed Shenston Road in this month and last month's issues here's a video from Greg behind, and underneath, the scenes.

Just received what I assume is the SPRING issue (I already have March) and discovered it says MARCH on the cover.  So we now have TWO March 2022 issues......

Cover says March but inside says Spring so just a mistake the cover!

As an aside, since BRM don't do an "as seen in" card for featured layout owners to place on the front of their layouts as Peco do for RM and CM I made the signs for my three layouts featured in the mag by scanning the cover and making a piece like this, the one on Croft Spa (the only layout at Doncaster, where all layouts are in BRM to qualify, displaying such?)

Note mine has the date on it. The other is a scan of the RM card on Hawthorn Dene.

 

Asking them about their cards, Peco reckon they cost about 50p a shot plus postage and the extra visibility at shows as a result of them brings in more sales of the mags, making them very cost-effective publicity.    Come on, BRM Team, you are missing a trick.

Just an afterthought- these don't cost Peco postage- for Hawthorn Dene and Furtwangen Ost the cards came with the complimentary magazine I got for having my article published....

Work in progress - we've wanted to do this for a long while and it seems that Debbie is making it happen.

It's a special treat, and not at all a cock-up in the system because nothing ever goes wrong...

Only about five years since I first suggested it to Andy and to someone at Donny show who wasn't Sam Porter- almost up to Peco speed........
