A hut and a warehouse in March BRM

It's all buildings from me in the latest issue of BRM. 

We start with a little etched brass hut from Severn Models. 

I've tried to demystify working with brass. There's no soldering for a start, which always puts people off. 

Then a bigger build, with a canalside warehouse. 


I really enjoyed this build, handy as it took place over a weekend around Christmas, as the planned project turned out to be a bit of a disaster and ended up in the bin. In its place, we have this Plastikard wonder, which I'm really pleased with. 

The camera has been out, firstly for Bristol Avon Bridge in OO. 


If you remember blue diesel days, this is a properly nostalgic model. I do, so the shoot was a bit of a memory-jogging moment. The photo here isn't the most impressive, but I remember seeing views like this in the 1980s. It just takes you back to the moment. 

Sticking with blue bangers, we have the stunning, O gauge, Invermire. 

If you know Scottish railways at all, you will recognise the scene around the viaduct. I had to stop myself from taking all the pictures here - but those I did are some of the most attractive photos I've ever taken, and look brilliant on the pages of the magazine.

Subscribers can also enjoy watching trains running on  BRM TV. 

BRM is available from all good newagents, or the online store.
