Title: Model Railway Express eMagazine Issue 2 live now!
Post by: NeMo on January 31, 2017, 06:42:39 PM
Hello all,

Some of you probably know about former MREMag website and the (free) online model railway magazine it recently morphed into.

Anyway, I've contributed an article about 'Westerns' to the current issue of MREMag, which has gone live today. Even if you decide my article is rubbish, I hope you find some of the others worthwhile!

Mods: feel free to move this if it isn't in the right place!

Cheers, NeMo

Nope. It's free! But if you want to patronise the sponsors, then so much the better!

I will try and find out if there's a way to automatically subscribe. There should be, if there isn't!

I just got this reply for the editor when asking about subscriptions...

"When our new website is up people will have to subscribe to use the forum. It will be free but we will require email addresses. Then we will use them to send emails saying 'next issue is out, here's the link'. "

Sounds simple enough!

The forum will, I imagine, try to emulate the "Have Your Say" page that dominated the previous MREmag website.

I signed up as a new member yesterday and the application did ask for my email. Sign up was very straight forward.

Who did you sign up with Delboy, was it the MREmag or was it the site that is hosting it (issue) is the site, if it's the site thats hosting it, it won't tell you the new issue is out, well it might but they also try to get you  subscribe to other mags for which i personally have no interest in,like LOOK and other women mags  lol.   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

As mentioned earlier on, when the forum is online, there's going to be some sort of announcement email that'll get sent to members. If you wanted to, could participate in the discussion board side of the forum, at the very least providing feedback to the writers who produce the content you've just read!

I will ask if a simple email subscription or RSS feed might work better, but my guess is that the publishers would like subscribers to participate in the forum, generating "buzz" and in turn readership. The magazine works by getting paid advertisements, and to a large degree that depends upon the size of their readership.

In any event, if you want to get in touch with the editor directly, their email address and other details are on page 97 of the magazine.

Cheers, NeMo

Thanks NeMo.

The editor told me just now that the free subscription gives access the forum (you don't have to use it though) AS WELL AS the email reminder about the magazine.

So as/when that's up and running, it does sound like people will get the reminder sent to their email inbox!

Thanks for all the positive feedback, and hopefully MREMag will get some more N-gauge input from the folks over here! As an NGS member, I'd always suggest that as your first place to publish, but if you aren't a member but would like to share your layout or some modelling projects with the world, please do consider MREMag.

Cheers, NeMo
