  1. A warm welcome readers and viewers to our penultimate issue of BRM for 2021! Copies are available to download* from www.pocketmags.com/BRM today, or pick up copies in stores from October 7.

    *Digital edition copies include the latest issue of Engineering in Miniature, three bonus articles, plus many extra videos and photographs.

     

    Subscribers and digital edition readers will have access to the November WOR TV content, featuring 'Davidson Parkway' – a WCML tribute, a practical guide for scribing and bending plastic sheet for models, plus an introductory guide to DC vs. DCC model railway control.

     

    Inside this issue:

     

    LAYOUTS

    'Davidson Parkway' (OO). Constructed by a Network Rail engineer, this West Coast Main Line tribute boasts a quad track continuous loop, and impressive station terminus.

    'Catsfield' (OO). From formative memories, came this picture-perfect model, with life-like qualities. Nick Palette explains his journey into fact-based fiction.

    'Melcombe Magna' (O). Indoor operation for gloomy winter evenings, or outdoor operation for more clement weather – this feature-filled layout permits both.
