jwealleans Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Thurston? Blimey. Using the photos from 2004-ish? That'll be a bit of a nostalgia trip, but it's come on a bit since then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwealleans Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Definitely the photos from what must be almost a decade ago. 75% or more of the rolling stock has been replaced since then and the scenics have been tweaked as well. This will be a trip down memory lane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Unless from some reason the layout was super wonderful at that time ?? and is no longer as good?? I have seen it and I doubt if that is correct. Sounds like a poor decision to print them now, the photos should have been redone to show current layout not a 9 year old version. The cover is very OTT as well far too much in your face when you look at it IMHO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted August 2, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 2, 2013 For those that are thinking of getting a subscription to the digital issue, pocketmags has a sale on, with 20% off the cost of subs to BRM (and other titles too). Makes it even better value for money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrysoham Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Not impressed with the IPad version this month. Someone has c******ed up the pagination! Pages which should face each other don't so all the two page adverts are on opposite sides of the same page. Even worse, the photographs which should face each other don't so in landscape mode you don't get the two parts of the photograph on the same iPad page. Someone has dropped a clanger!

PhilNE Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I've got the same problem on Android & PC versions from Pocketmags. The supplement is the same too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilgue Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The pagination problem is down to the "Changing the Name to BRM" spread on page 3. Not impressed. At least it can be sorted out easily. I hope... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryMeerkat Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Being an avid digital BRM reader, I have to say I'm disappointed with this issue. With the pages being out of sequence it makes reading and enjoying the magazine much more difficult than it should be. Hopefully an updated version will be released free for digital customers having this issue? Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwr Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 The pagination problem is down to the "Changing the Name to BRM" spread on page 3. Not impressed. At least it can be sorted out easily. I hope...

Xerces Fobe2 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Can I purchase a single on-line copy of BRM having seen the preview video (great idea) of the September issue and I would like to purchase it? I want to have my WHSmith browse experience at home and then make a choice of mag(s) for the month and oh please can you not bag the digital edition!

Tase Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 AFAIK you can Nigel providing you are using the BRM app from the iTunes Store. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryMeerkat Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I purchase BRM on an issue by issue basis, I think it's £2.99 per issue. And I purchase through the Pocketmags app on iPad. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verityboo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I too have wasted £2.99 on downloading the latest mag Can't help thinking they need to concentrate on the basics of getting the mag right rather than wasting time on press releases on changes to the mag containing meaningless PR guff and little else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Not a lot of interest, much padding out of pages and e.g how many people want to model a campsite or scrap Locos ? Cant see my subscription being renewed at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Howard Smith Posted August 6, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hello all, There was indeed a problem with the latest digital issue of BRM. One extra page had managed to worm its way in there. You will all be pleased to know that this issue has been fixed and the magazine re-uploaded. For those of you that have downloaded the September digital issue and wish to correct this, simply delete and re-download the issue. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Should any of you have any further difficulties, you may address me a PM. Regards Howard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edcayton Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 When I get to the last page of editorial content in BRM I can't help but think "is that it?". I also feel that Warners have to some extent shot themselves in the foot inasmuch as members of this forum don't really need to buy the mag as most of the content is on here.

Andy Y Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I also feel that Warners have to some extent shot themselves in the foot inasmuch as members of this forum don't really need to buy the mag as most of the content is on here. Which of the features in this month's issue (aside from seeing Jonathan's excellent Deltic project and Flavio's BCB buildings) have been seen on RMweb (maybe the occasional exhibition image of Thurston)?
