PGC Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Got to get a copy of this, if only for the article about Blackwell's Brewery Co as that's the layout I run my stock on! I suppose the rest of the issue looks quite interesting as well! Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'll keep an eye out for this issue after having not purchased BRM for the last few editions (the contents posted on forum have not been of interest or particularly inspiring to me). However, this looks potentially of more interest and worthwhile. Cheers. G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tase Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 A very good issue this month. I like the DVD but do we have to have 'a look around model shops' segment? Surely, better to show practical demos or reviews. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted March 6, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6, 2015 Just had a quick look after setting up the Mansfield Show this evening. Really pleased with my article, will check out the rest of the mag once the weekend is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
61661 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 A very good issue this month. I like the DVD but do we have to have 'a look around model shops' segment? Surely, better to show practical demos or reviews. Thanks - we're trying to vary the content and locations of the DVDs each month and felt that the retail side of the trade needed to be included and supported. Many shops are having a tough time at the moment and we thought it was a good way to encourage people to support their local shop, and provide a different location from which to host the programme. We've already done lots of practical demos and reviews and they will continue to be an important part of the programmes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Phil Parker Posted March 9, 2015 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2015 I've filmed 3 more practical demos that haven't been used yet - and I see I have more filming dates in my e-mail, so it looks like there will be practical content for some time to come!

RMweb Gold sjrixon Posted March 10, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2015 I enjoyed the look around the model shop and I have to say has encouraged me to drop in next time I'm up that way.. I always enjoy the practical side, Tony in particular with his very no-nonsense attitude to it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JCL Posted March 11, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 11, 2015 Owdo, Lovely mag though it is, I thought I'd let you know that I can't get any sound from the video on my iPad digital subscription. My speakers are up high, I've rebooted the machine and the app, all to no avail. Is anyone having this problem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted March 12, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 12, 2015 "Tail Lamp – Industry Insider tackles the big issues in the hobby." on the back page makes interesting reading.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 12, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 12, 2015 "Tail Lamp – Industry Insider tackles the big issues in the hobby." on the back page makes interesting reading. I'm sure that it will ruffle a few feathers with some 'experts'!...."with all due respect" of course! A very well written piece. Yes, rather good isn't it. There's some other very good stuff in this issue although I was a little worried to see a layout design with sidings accessed via a facing connection - I wonder how many of them there really were at small through stations?

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted March 12, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2015 I notice in the blurb for the next edition mentioning a feature about buying and upgrading older models. The last time one of these type of articles appeared in a mag many years ago at the next show I went to a week later all the featured old models on second hand traders tables had had their prices bunged up by another ten to fifteen quid a pop!

Austrag Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 My reckoning is that BRM are going from strength to strength, any chance of a two-week issue, I can't wait that long for the next download! David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David I'll ask Ben what he thinks about going bi-weekly! I think I can guess his response... Thanks for the kind words though.

rue_d_etropal Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Bought a copy today, and was pleased to see my version of Paul's harbour design included.

Well, one product in next month was first produced in 1961 and the other 1975 and still in production. You can find them cluttering up boxes under second hand stalls. No more clues, although readers of my blog might be able to guess if they look back far enough... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR Dave Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 What a shock I got ! I've been working on an O gauge model of Kimberley station on and off for the last few years. Mine will be in Great Northern era, but great to see another modellers take on the site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathcartCircle Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 My issue arrived today, better late than never! Lol! Great issue as always and a fab dvd. Really liked the feature on Trains4U would be great if a different retailer could be featured in every programme! Would this be a possibility?
