sjgardiner Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Does anyone know if this was distributed internationally? The previous How to Build a Layout bookazines were, and are quite handy. I've been keeping an eye out at the few places in Toronto that have decent international magazine selections to see if this appeared, but i've never seen it.

BG John Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 They happily posted my copy to Wales, but that's probably not quite the same! As someone who's had a rather large break in modelling activities, I think it's well worth buying. I've only skimmed through it so far, as I'm not ready to start painting anything yet, but there are so many new ideas that have appeared, and this seems to be a good introduction to them.

cravensdmufan Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Is the content of this book new material, or is it a compilation of previous Model Rail articles please? The reason I ask is that I have kept all Model Rails since issue number one so wouldn't buy if it's a compilation of old material. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some material from magazine projects in it but also new material not published anywhere else. I think the balance is more new than old but I don't have a copy here to check. I also believe that it is sold out at the supplier now. CHRIS LEIGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and get a copy tomorrow. Even if there are a few "repeats" it will be nice to have everything in one volume. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted September 26, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 26, 2015 Any chance that these bookazines will be digitally released? I prefer to have the digital versions now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jongudmund Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 There are still copies available in shops though. There were a few in the Smiths where I work the other day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravensdmufan Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Went into my local newsagents today to collect my latest BRM. New supply of Definitive Guide to Painting on the shelf - 6 copies, so I got one. And it looks very good. Nice quality heavy paper, A nice product to keep for future reference.

JimF51 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Regarding digital availability, I've found Model Rail is the least friendly. Digital subscriptions for Hornby and BRM have been available for quite some time via Pocketmags.com, in all device formats, with back issues and special editions readily available. RM is the same, but available from ExactEditions.com. Model Rail was late to the game, I'm still not sure how one would sub to just a digital version, there is a lack of info on their site. It also took them quite some time before the mag was offered for devices other than the iPhone/iPad. I'd buy both the How To Build A layout and the painting one, if they were available, one can always learn some new tips. Jim F Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
