Railway Modeller

[Ali Smith]

I picked up the August issue of Loco-Revue whilst in France. It cost 9.80 Euros, which may be more than Railway Modeller but not three times. I have no idea what it costs here, indeed I wouldn't know where to go to get a copy. I should look in Continental Modeller, I suppose...

I started buying magazines when I was 14, in 1967 and quickly settles on the Railway Modeller. Then half a crown each month, that is 12.5p in decimal money!   I changed from working in OO to N in 1975.  I got a bit bored with RMin the end and moved to Model Rail in 2000.  But after c 12 years or so I felt there was not enough in it to really grab me every month, and justify the cost,  so cancelled the subscription.

These days I glance at content on the shelves of my local supermarkets or WH Smith (as was) and typically buy 3 or 4 mags a year, any of the 4 main ones,  when I see enough to really interest me.

The NGS Journal is my only regular reading.  I did buy N Gauge Now for a few years.  Again I stopped it after a while.

For some years now I have cut out articles I want to keep after a year or so and file them in lever arch folders. The rest goes in recycling.   And I created and maintain a database in Exel of every article I have retained.  I do the same with the NGS Journal though have not got round to indexing those yet.  And I have been a member since 1984!  Must get round to listing them!

Thanks, Graham, but the problem is I don't think I'm keen enough to be bothered to go to the library to look at it! I'll keep my eye on the newsagents, and if an issue shows up that I find interesting, then I might consider buying it.

No need to go to the library, assuming you are already a member at your local library, there is an app and you can read it online.
