Which magazines do you all read, both Railroad and Model Railroad, and why those? ------------------ Alan www.ac-models.com Andersley.homestead.com galleryusarail_tehcaj.homestead.com [This message has been edited by Alan (edited 25 March 2000).]
model railroader and trains, model railroader as it seems rather good although some months its rather bare on articals and stuffed full of ads, and trains as you buy it lol
My favorites: Model Railroading, Railroad Model Craftsman, Rail Model Journal, CTC Board, and SP Review. ------------------ Have A Nice Day!
Diesel Era and CTC Board when I get a chance. I loved Vintage Rails before it was discontinued. I hear it is coming back? I don't live near a train store anymore so I can't go leaf through them and buy the ones I want ------------------ Ship It On The FRISCO!
Thanks, but I am sorry that no-one has mentioned N Scale magazine, as I have just taken out a subscription, to give it a try. (And as they are going to mention my N Scale spine cars!) I enjoy Trains, as this keeps us up to date with what is happening on the US rails, with splendid photographs, and informative articles. I do have a look at Model Railroader, as my son Matt (sticky monk) buys it. But it is hard to find articles amongst all that advertising! ------------------ Alan www.ac-models.com Andersley.homestead.com galleryusarail_tehcaj.homestead.com
I think I get too many each month! Get TRAINS, RAILFAN & RAILROAD and RAILPACE for the railroad stories and information. Get RAILROAD MODEL, RAILMODEL JOURNAL, MODEL RAILROADING, MODEL RAILROADER, MAINLINE and best of all 'N-Scale'. These are for modeling ideas and the advertisements. Have most issues dating back to 1993. Eddie
Eddie, I am pleased to see you say 'N Scale' magazine is best of all! I look forward to the first of my subscription. ------------------ Alan www.ac-models.com http://Andersley.homestead.com http://galleryusarail_tehcaj.homestead.com http://eurogallery.homestead.com
Model Railroader (since 1991) TRAINS (since 1995) The Milwaukee Railroader (since 1998) Garden Railways (since 1999) Thinking about starting up with N Scale magazine though, since that's one of the scale I model in. Can anyone tell me a bit more about it? Thanks for the help!
N Scale mag. is a Hundman publication, and is published bi-monthly. Good to have a mag. that is not crammed with ads. and the ones that are there are at the front and back, so do not interfere with the content, and all ads. are for N scale Website url http://www.nscalemagazine.com/ ------------------ Alan www.ac-models.com http://Andersley.homestead.com http://galleryusarail_tehcaj.homestead.com http://eurogallery.homestead.com
I get CTC Board and Diesel Era with any regularity. Used to get Pacific Rail News before it disappeared - hopefully it will be back soon. Trains when it has something particular in it. Model Railroader and Model Railroad Craftsman if they have something of interest, though MR's ads do nark me greatly. Also Rail Model Journal when I can get it. N Scale? Haven't got one in a while after they went off song. I believe it may have gotten back on track again but I haven't looked of late. The early issues were great, and it really does fill a niche in the N Scale world. Having the ads front and rear only was a big plus in their favour. Gdog. ------------------ Gary A.

I have subscribed to 'Model Railroader' since 1981 and 'Narrow Gauge & Shortline Gazette' since 1985. Model Railroader seems to be the 'standard' that has lots of information for me about new products, how to paint, electrical pointers and troubleshooting. The NG&SG is a wonderful publication for those of us in narrow gauge modeling. It always contains great plans for scratch building various steam locomotives. I prefer those that are used on logging operations because they can be modeled to look really funky, as were the prototypes. I have found that N-scale track works well for HOn30 and HO guage track works well for Sn3. Bill "Get Goosed on the Yreka Western"
Funky? ------------------ Alan The perfect combination - BNSF and N Scale! www.ac-models.com http://Andersley.homestead.com http://galleryusarail_tehcaj.homestead.com http://eurogallery.homestead.com
Well, let's see - subscribe to Model Railroader 'cause it covers all aspects of the hobby, Trains for both the current news and historical/informational articles, buy RMC (usually) just 'cause, although I'm tailing off as I usually don't find much anymore, and buy N Scale because it's all about N scale, although the quality seems spotty at times.
Yeah Allen .. that's a Yankee word of slang that means, 'out of the ordinary' for one. Bill "Get Goosed on the Yreka Western"
I read Branchline, a magazine produced monthly by the Bytown Railway Society, Railfan & Railroading and sometimes Trains. Branchline I find is great for anyone who wishes to keep up to date with current companies and their locomotive rooster.
I've read Trains and RMC since 1973, and Model Railroader since 1974. I've even read R&R since Issue 1. Did write Shortlines for RailNews until shortly before Pentrex shut it down (can you please tell me how killing a magazine & selling the pieces to Kalmbach [the Trains folks] saves it?). Overall, my favorites are the Kalmbach publications, including Great Model Railroads and Track Planning that come out each year. I browse thru the others at the hobby shop, and if I find an interesting article, I buy that magazine. ------------------ Ship IT on the Frisco! Bob T.
There's a great on-line train magazine. It comes out every single day! It is full of interesting pieces written by people from all over the world and covers all facets of railroading. Any person interested in trains is a columnist if they want to be and there is no word count limit on the articles they write or the number of pictures that go with. Best of all, this publication is FREE! It's called TrainBoard.com! ------------------ Ship It On The FRISCO!

Thanks Bill, that's good to know, but with Hundman's 'efficiency' I don't know how long it will be before the first one arrives ------------------ Alan The perfect combination - BNSF and N Scale! www.ac-models.com http://Andersley.homestead.com http://galleryusarail_tehcaj.homestead.com
