One thing I forgot to mention above: https://www.rrmagazineindex.org/ will give you a link to the magazine Like this: https://www.trains.com/mrr/magazine/archive-access/model-railroader-december-2019/ If the padlock is closed you will not be able to read the issue without logging in...

Just out of interest for anyone still looking for old Issues of Model Railroader. The Archive does still exist and you can still find them, this link works fine for the first issue: https://www.trains.com/?r3d=model-railroader-january-1934 And you can just change the date for any other issue...

I bought 22 to use surveyor 2. I found it cumbersome to use, though it had some nice features, and kept falling back to the Standard Surveyor. Finally I decided that if I could not open 22 routes in trs19 it was a waste of effort building in it. Dropped back to 19 and have not regretted it and...

Yes that is what many of the forums are concerned about. Apparently Firecrown wanted to acquire Trains Magazine to merge with the trade magazines, but as the Modeling mag's had already been merged into Trains.com they were part of the bundle and are surplus to requirement. It is the staff that I...

One last word on this post and the Archive Access - Looks like nether the Archive or the Publications will be around for much longer: Kalmbach Publishing (Classic Trains, Model Railroader, etc) sold and the typical PR statement: Kalmbach rail magazines, Trains.com sold to Firecrown Media I hope...

And as John pointed out it was all above board and legal. But lets put it to rest. Cheers Chris

Thanks John, that clears it up, I probably didn't get the email as I was signed up but canceled.

I have every issue, including the first, ever published in print in bound volumes, I also have every issue in PDF Format purchased from trains .com as digital archives. The same goes for the special issues. I did try the digital Subscription but canceled it as I have already purchased every...

Unfortunately they must have made a mistake and have fixed it. The link still works but the Read Button now had a Padlock on it so you must be signed in.

and if the above works we may well have just found the back door: https://www.trains.com/mrr/magazine/archive-access/

Try this: https://www.trains.com/mrr/magazine/archive-access/model-railroader-january-1934/

Wrong, here is Page 247, the last two items are: Trains, October 2019 […] Trains, September 2019 […] the files are not in chronological order so like I said, it is a treasure hunt, you can also try searching: I find that: site:trains.com "r3d" Railroader Brings up a reasonable index of...

Interesting, the do not use pages are obviously place holders, as they have only just started populating it, but all of the other pages have documents in them. thus is what I see on page 80: DO NOT USE […] DO NOT USE […] DO NOT USE […] DO NOT USE […] DO NOT USE […] DO NOT USE […] DO NOT...

Have fun, not sure how long it will last but all are legal and downloadable as PDF from the viewer. https://www.trains.com/?post_type=r3d To get you started on the archived material this is from page 80 https://www.trains.com/page/80/?post_type=r3d Model Railroader, January 1934 The first...

Thanks Rico, I will definitely keep checking in at http://www.jomrd.com/ I see that he has already posted three track plans there this month. cheers Chris
