Years ago I remember MR had an article where the author built a model of the Stoney Creek arch bridge in British Columbia with girders and parts from the Central Valley 150' truss bridge kits. I tried looking in the magazine archive for which issue, but had no luck. Can someone tell me the trick to searching the magazine database or which issue I need to dig out of my library? It would literally take me hours to dig through all of the back issues in the basement, mostly because I would get distracted and start reading articles in them! Thanks
Good Luck, Morpar
"One difference between pessimists and optimists is that while pessimists are more often right, optimists have far more fun."
Exactly the article I was thinking of! Thank you! Now the bigger question, did you just know which issue it was in, or were you able to search for it somehow? I don't want to have to make a post every time I want to find an old article.
You can sign up for the "Unlimited Digital Membership", which gives you access to all prior MR (and other Kalmbach mags) online. It includes a search function.

Otherwise, you could try to track down the 75-year DVD-Rom archive that Kalmbach did a while back.
Morpar Thank you! Now the bigger question, did you just know which issue it was in, or were you able to search for it somehow?

An optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel
