stewartingram Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Meanwhile, I wonder if the RTR driven Hornby Magazine should be in a box. ..and with bits fallen off or pages for the reader to assemble in the right order? (and no diagram to show how). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted July 20, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 20, 2012 Mmmm, looks like this edition has been very popular. Got to the shops a bit late this month and none of the usual newsagents seem to have any copies left. Lots of RM, HM and MR though.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never a fan of BRM, but bought this issue following the excellent July edition and wasn't disappointed. I agree with your comments Chris. The other mags will need to up their game to compete - MR revamp from next month will be interesting to see. I'm not buying more than 2 of the main 4 railway mags each month, so for me something is going to give. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishlocos Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi all I have enjoyed the past couple of issues of BRM where did the article on Alumina Traffic go to though? kind regards Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold bcnPete Posted July 21, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2012 S'not a magnum opus; it's a 4' plank! alright...but it's a friggin good 4' plank...that pic of Keyhaven on the contents page Lookin' forward to get my copy... EDIT: Now downloaded! I have to say, another good issue. My 6 month membership was in danger of being cut, what with the initial download issues etc, but now that has been sorted it works well and its nice to view it on the iPad. A very nice article about Keyhaven from Andy and also Neil's spread on the scenic treatment were both interesting as I learnt more about each model than I previously knew. Now...if only we could download and save the issues... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Deltic Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Thanks to Andy for the artical on concrete paving and inlaid track. I'm just working through ordering the stuff on the shopping list for Harford Street goods yard. Maybe I can spray any surplus Suede Touch on my shoes.

Administrators SteveCole Posted July 30, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks for your comments everyone. Out of interest, what's your favourite article in the August issue? Andy's layout feature on Keyhaven has been well received, as expected, but what else caught your eye? Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted July 30, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi Steve, I found the Constructing Model Buildings article the most useful. I've often considered using DAS and the article was spot on. Especially the context - I need to build a few semi-derelict buildings for my S&C layout. I said I'd review the progress at BRM from July-September, and, to date, you are winning! Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators SteveCole Posted July 30, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks Jeff. The 2nd part of that article is in the September issue (on-sale next week), which is a cracker. When you look at the finished building, compared to the real-life barn, you'll be gob-smacked at just how similar they are! The September issue - which features a complete new Modelling Inspiration (including Pendon's Vale Scene!) - is arguably our best issue to date! In the office we were really happy with the July (Scenery Special + MI) and August issues, but we all to a man feel the September issue (Weathering Special + MI) is the best yet! I really hope you agree. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my view, you've dragged BRM level with it's competitors and may be moving ahead. 6 months ago I wouldn't have touched the magazine. The task you have to ensure is to maintain the standard you are now setting. Plenty of practical articles, with high-quality photography, a smattering of good layouts and the involvement of Andy and the RMwebbers, should see you right!!

grahame Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks for your comments everyone. Out of interest, what's your favourite article in the August issue? Out of interest Steve, what scale/gauge and era do you model in? G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators SteveCole Posted July 31, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hi Grahame, I'm not a modeller. My background is in publishing - both as a magazine editor, website editor and then in marketing positions. I am blessed to be surrounded by modelling experts at BRM: John Emerson (editor) is an O gauge modeller, Richard Wilson (editorial assistant) is a OO gauge modeller and we all know Andy York esq. We also have a large team of expert magazine contributors covering the most popular scales/gauges and eras, many of which are respected RMwebbers. It's interesting having a 'non-modeller' as part of the BRM team as I ask the silly questions we often take for granted. It also means I can focus on magazine-craft and ultimately improving the magazine, our websites and exhibitions whilst the 'experts' focus on ensuring the magazine content (layouts, instruction and reviews) is first class. Hopefully this is resulting in a better BRM magazine! Oh, Andy is constantly threatening to throw down a modelling challenge to me. Be afraid...

grahame Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'm not a modeller. My background is in publishing So what is your past-time, hobby, out of work hours interest? Anything transport related? G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted August 6, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2012 Great edition, one step closer to subscribing again. The only tiny downside for me was the bridge article that didn't actually mention (unless I missed it) how the bridges were built or what they were built out of. Due to the span, I'm guessing metal of some sort.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberdare Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I am looking forward to picking up the September issue later this week, it looks great. I started to buy the BRM in July and was so impressed I got the August issue as well, so keep up the good work. When my current subscription to another magazine runs out next month I will switch to BRM. I think I will be but one of many converts. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
