    Just received my subscribers email for the new issue and I am afraid the link to BRMTV is not working, just says "Loading"!

     

    Sorry to hear about that, could you please try again, and if still no luck, please send me a PM? We know it's working for others...

    There seems to be a problem with page 28 on the Exact Editions version - it's slightly bigger than page 29 so the join across the spread is incorrect; also the image resolution is much poorer than p29. Any chance it could be corrected?

    Good mix of articles otherwise :)

     

    Hi Rich,

    Thanks, we'll get this sorted on Monday when our designer is back from a well-earned holiday break.

    Best,

    Never has a cover headline been more apt than that of our Spring 2021 issue of BRM, available digitally on pocketmags.com/BRM from Thursday February 18 (on-sale Thursday, February 25 in stores). A 'second life' in which COVID and lockdowns doesn't exist sounds great!

    In the case of our Spring issue, the second life refers to 'Retford', the work of the late Roy Jackson, now under safe new ownership with a loyal and dedicated team to complete his legacy. A truly epic task...

    Pocketmags digital edition users also get five extra videos, two bonus features, plus Garden Rail issue 317, in which a 30-year project to build a garden railway is highlighted, and much more...

    Don't forget, BRM TV is provided for digital and print subscribers too, featuring 'Retford', die-cast model improvements, and creating a stong base for your layout scenery.

     

    Inside this issue of BRM:

     

    Layouts

     

    Retford (EM). Its future now secured under new ownership, work is set to recommence on this one-of-a-kind ECML masterpiece. Tony Wright explains the story so far...

    Oldbury (OO). From small acorns, great oaks grow – an expression which rings true for Dan Evason, whose first layout commission has garnered him a loyal following...

    How to build a 3D-printed V2. Bachmann’s RTR V2 is on the horizon, but in the interim, Tony Wright feels this bodyshell is the most accurate-to-date and the fastest route to ownership of Gresley’s 2-6-2 mixed-traffic design...
