I would guess its all COVID related, when there were many months when publication was impossible. Rather than ditch the surplus stock they have included them with Model Rail, either at a lower price or free. Good for the magazine

Take a look at this Ebay image :- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hesketh-Park-Railway-Station-Photo-Southport-Churchtown-L-YR-1/263940188485?hash=item3d740fa945:g:IWYAAOSw7bpbngSE Was it some form of insulation trials?

Any reports yet of coronavirus vaccine being hoarded?.....

Shortages?... Popped into the Aldi fracas today and found the assisstant picking over someones trolley at the checkout, saying you cant have these , you cant have those.. Baked Beans limited to 4 tins or 1 pack of 4 Heinz beans, Baby wipes limited to 4 smallish packs, soups rationed to a couple tins - 4 if its 4 different flavours. Walking around the store observing the near riot taking place in all , yes all, aisles. I wouldnt mind but I asked the assisstant if there was any restrictions in the next 4 weeks and as long as they can get the stuff on the shelves- theres no shortages..

Dougal , the Glasgow shunter working on the Welshpool Railway must be in the running . Looks like it could be picked up and dropped in a pocket.

Aldi has a very nice digital meter on sale last week for £9.95... still opn sale now.

City of Birmingham came as part of a set, as such it never was released in a box of its own design.

First time I have noticed the Duckboard across mainline tracks- any idea of its purpose? (EBAY postcard or picture.) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Watchet-Railway-Station-Photo-West-Somerset-Mineral-Railway-2/252800351165?hash=item3adc133bbd:g:GjQAAOSwCU1YvTpc

Just quietly perusing this thread and it jogged my memory. There was a radio program favourite of mine - a science fiction program , once a week, on what was the equivalent of radio 4 today, with a sound effects bonanza from the BBC radiophonic workshops. I have never been able to remember the name of the prog, but always thought it was " A for Andromeda", but it doesnt fit todays Google searches, anyone else remember that prog in about 1957-1962, when I was using a crystal set- you havent lived till you have tried wiring the bedsprings to a few electronioc components.! Book at Bedtime --- Ahhhhhh

US mags are available from Tornado Books in Birmingham , in the same street as the old court buildings. You can also give Parabellum in the Jewellery Centre a try, unfortunately mainly wargaming, but paints and lots of US sourced items are there, IF you can get in!! LOL.... A couple of requests could well make them stock items.
