Railroad Model Craftsman Exciting Update!!
Author: HB90MACH

Just got word, RMC went to press last week and will be shipping soon. It will be the issue to arrive in November. They also bought The Railroad Press and have maintained the very high standards of that magazine. I have high hopes the same will be true for RMC

TRP is much more polished now... Hopefully they will do the same to RMC

Although not a subscriber to TRP, I just picked up the latest issue and was impressed. A lot more color and, IMHO, looked more professionally done.

I'm also very much looking forward to it. RMC caters to more advanced modellers and many of us advanced modellers still want to hold a magazines in our hands and enjoy a good read.

Hopefully the production values will be upgraded. The content was usually mostly interesting, but the quality of photos, diagrams, and other graphics had a lot to be desired.....

Here's an idea; let's hope it's a cross between the old Mainline Modeler and RMC magazines. I think that would be pretty cool. Something for everyone.

Lets hope RMC does not change too much.

RMC always gave Canadian modellers more of an opportunity for articles being published than Kalmbach!!!

Uh, no. Not a good idea at all. There's a reason Mainline Modeler died. Too narrow of a focus.

I wonder if TRP will still be found at Barnes & Noble stores.

I don't get TRP but a friend thinks White River ruined it. Any opinions?

Could we get some locomotive drawings again? All of these new designs and nothing a modeler can work with. Many are getting too long to fit on the normal page so the magazine may have to go to foldout format.

After 2-3 years the plans can be printed as a bound volume such as Kalmbach used to do.
