I am usually quite good on assessing steam loco wheel arrangements from 2-2-2 to x-10-x and beyond, less so with diesels, especially when they have unpowered axles. But this one has me flummoxed. The image is from the digital copy of BRM November 2017 and shows a loco on the N gauge Staly Vegas layout of Richard Stott. Nice evocative little layout. I have no idea whether the paper version includes the same Photoshop goof.

A 4-7-0?!

Best wishes.

Is that a 4-6.5-0 ? 

A rare beast indeed, and as a design concept a bit of a non-starter I suspect.

It's a B1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8

This is not a Photoshop goof. When you have a thicker magazine with an adhesive binding and a picture which goes across two pages, a few millimetres (5–10 mm, depending on page count) in the centre are duplicated as this part will be needed for the glue and vanish from sight. (Thinner magazines with staples don't have this problem.)
When opening these pages on the paper version you should not see half a wheel missing or notice a double wheel – if the graphic designer has got this distance right.

When using the same layout for the digital copy you will see the duplicated area as in this photo. Of course it would be possible to adjust such photos for the digital copy if time and cost would be of no concern.

Hi Peter

I understand the image needing to cater for the "gutter" between pages, which was my first thought. So I had already checked the other 9 photos which cross pages where the issue is not present. So maybe not a Photoshop goof, more the one image they forgot to amend for the digital issue. Maybe it was Friday afternoon or the last job before the print deadline.
