I've left the NG7 layout along this month, as I wanted to build a model spcifically to take to shows. The fantastic Buggleskelly Station N gauge windmill is the subject of my main build in this issue.
The biggest problem with the kit is that it's so good, I need to find more to write about than simply slotting the parts togther - so we have so clever painting, inovative baseboard material and a button to allow the audience to make the sails go around.
We're worried about dirt - so I've converted an O gauge Dapol van into a track cleaning wagon.
And while I'm at it, for BRM TV, I'm also talking about track cleaning methods.
Is this the first issue where I haven't built a model in 4mm scale?
Anyway, the camera has been out with all the layouts in this issue being ones I've shot.
First, we have the N gauge "Horton".
Then in OO, and all the way from the Netherlands, "R&J Colliery".
And finally, in what we called O16.5 back then, "Books Bridge".
As ever, BRM is available from all good newsagents, or our online store: www.world-of-railways.co.uk

I was really impressed with both Horton and Books Bridge.
But I'm disapointed with your lack of effort on the windmill. You should have animated it so the sails are trimmable (probably not the right word), it rotates to suit the wind, and we need figures clinging to the sail...
Not sure if you mentioned itin the article , but the real thing is Terling Mill in Essex.
Chris Nevard has already discovered I'm in pedant mode after he posted a wholly inauthentic model beer barrel...
