Welcome to our September 2021 issue of BRM, introducing our first videos for World of Railways TV, for digital readers and print subscribers! Available digitally now from www.pocketmags.com/BRM, and in stores.

A varied assortment of content this month, but centre-most is our focus on viaducts. Inspirational modelling advice, with some excellent prototypes to consider – a challenging prospect for the modeller looking to push the boundaries!

WOR TV this month features: 'Heaton Lodge Junction' – an interview with Simon George, model boats for railway modellers, and a tour of bridges and viaducts for model inspiration.

LAYOUTS
The diverse model railways inside this issue include: 'Heaton Lodge' (O). With more than 100 baseboards, and measuring more than 180ft in length, Britain’s Biggest Model Railway is now complete and ready to hit the road...

...'Watery Lane Sidings' (OO). Dave Hall further refined his already highly-accomplished scrapyard scene, while avoiding the stereotypical operational quirks of smaller layouts...

...and 'Rushwick' (OO). The fruit of lockdown labour, this branch line terminus is a lesson in prototype observation, recycling and using what is to hand...
