BRM Suggestions

@Andy & Friends

two suggestions

1.   For the digital edition of your magazine can you not link adverts to the atvertisers website so we can go there if we wish to.  (this would also analytics for yourmarketing dept.) 
2. for the excellent how to videos and articles can we the audience make some suggestions on what we need help with?

Otherwise loving your work & thanks for reading

1. It'd be good but would take quite a lot of time formatting it each issue (as all the links need to be done for each upload).

 

2. Happy to hear thoughts and requests - they need to be things that are achievable and of wide-ish use. We can't get @Phil Parker to build a 2mm finescale broad gauge loco no matter how many people ask!

On a related subject, is there a reason why the World Of Railways website doesn't include links to sites it mentions? For example, I read

https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/news/restoring-2874-and-a-special-model/

this morning, and then had to go and find the Trust's web site myself. That wasn't difficult, but why not put a link to https://www.2874trust.org/ in the article?

OK I'd suggest

• servicing locos e.g. replacing tyres, oil etc. longer locoes jumping points (so back to back issues) 
• loco detection
• coupling and uncoupling with out the "hand of god" so ramps dcc & analog on board decouplers etc.  oh and fixing different coupling standards

and I'd hand out a mug or something if a readers suggestion is accepted.  

 

BTW  all the blog post I write  on here have hyperlinks to relevant stuff, but hey I am a software engineer and blogging is a hobby :-)

Because links may change at the other end at some point in the future. A dead link reflects badly on the site with the link, not the one where it's changed.

Precisely.
