    Layouts inside

    'Oldshaw' (EM). What could possibly prompt three friends who model in N, OO and O to purchase a layout in EM? Mike Hale, co-owner of Revolution Trains explains...

    'Ewe' (OO). The rural beauty of an East Anglian backwater, with a little decay, is the subject for Rob Gunstone’s latest instalment in his ‘sheep-themed’ layouts.

    September 2022 BRM: pssst, it's out!

    in BRM Magazine

    Fancy a read? You can watch, too – thanks to WOR TV*. Here's a look at what's inside your September 2022 issue...

    *with WOR TV, exclusive for subscribers and digital edition viewers. See details here.

     

    Welcome to the September issue of BRM. Inside BRM September we feature the layouts 'Southgate Park', 'Mantles Wood', 'Hadley, Stonybrook, and Swale', plus 'Hook Basin'.

     

    BRM SEPTEBER BUILD A CHURCH shot4.jpg

    Create this church diorama – looks nice, right? Michael Russell shares how, step-by-step inside this issue...

     

    Included for subscribers and digital edition viewers is your monthly episode of World of Railways TV. This month, Howard Smith visits Making Tracks II and speaks with Pete Waterman about the project, Phil Parker demonstrates how to make a removable wagon load, and we take a closer look at what’s involved in driving a 5in gauge steam locomotive!

     

    BRM September 2022 Southgate Park 33.jpg

    Southgate Park (OO). Purchasing a second-hand layout, minus wiring diagram, was the first of many challenges for the duo of Shane Wilton and Mark Miller.

     

    BRM September 2022 - Mantles Wood 12.jpg

    Mantles Wood (OO). Paul Davis wasn’t defeated by his layout vision, despite admitting to limited modelling skills. Thanks to proprietary models, his efforts have flourished.

     

    Hadley.jpg

    Hadley, Stonybrook, and Swale (O-16.5). Modernising this creation for a smoother, more reliable exhibition experience, is an ongoing process for its new owner, Arline Wilson, with enjoyable results.

     

    BRM September 2022 Hook Basin 1.jpg

    Hook Basin (1:25 scale). Encouraged by a friend to scratch-build a freelance locomotive, Richard Williams soon turned his attention to this photogenic layout in the same scale.

     

    Keen as ever to share our techniques with you, this issue we show how to create a church scene, build a cinema for your layout, wire a DCC return loop and upgrade your die-cast vehicles. There's a few tips on how you can cut the cost of your modelling, too!

     

    Plus, inside this issue, we catch up with model club, Stafford Railway Circle, and visit Chester Cathedral to see the latest incarnation of Pete Waterman's West Coast Main Line layout – Making Tracks II.

    Making Tracks II – interview with Pete Waterman in this issue. WOR Plus members can log in on World of Railways to watch the full video interview.

     

    Look out for our reviews of the new Accurascale HCA and CDAs, Peco's all-new TT range, IRM's Magnesite hoppers and the new SBR hoppers from Peco.

     

    Going digital is better than ever! Digital readers get the action-packed September issue available on the newsstand, plus five extra videos, four bonus articles, 66 exclusive images, and a free issue of Narrow Gauge World!
