My Aunt has offered to buy me a subscription to a monthly journal, and I'm having a devil of a time deciding what to ask for. Would you be kind enough to provide your comments on the currently available model and railway magazines. Most mags I've browsed recently seem to me to be more promotions of "the trade" and of tourist lines than purveyors of useful information.
Can't comment on railway magazines, but for model railway mags it would have to be either Railway Modeller or MRJ (I have both!). MRJ isn't strictly a monthly mag though. Although I also subscribe to Model Rail, it seems to have lost its way and I keep forgetting to cancel the subscription.
Reasons:
Railway Modeller does actually have some very good articles in there, despite the apparent widespread derision it receives. I also buy Continental Modeller occasionally.
MRJ - well, every railway modeller must surely have that on their compulsory reading list :-)
Model Rail - Perhaps it's just me, but it doesn't seem to have any direction any more. You get half an article, then wonder where the rest went. Did Chris Leigh ever get his "Lion" finished? What's with the half-hearted overseas pull-outs you sometimes get? I hope it doesn't go the way of MRC though.
BRM - anti-P4. Nuff said, for me!
