Urban Modeling and Mike Palmiter

[Doc in CT]

 As some of you know, Mike Palmiter was/is an urban RR modeler.  While his early articles were in MR and RMC, everything from 1992 onward was in RailModel Journal.  As you may be aware, RMJ ceased publication in 2008.

I have a list of articles from RMJ, so if anyone has copies from the 1990s I would be interested in either acquiring the magazines or getting copies.  I wonder if the prior publisher of RMJ has considered publishing back issues as PDF files (either actual text or scanned)?

Thanks

Doc (aka Alan)

Railroad Model Craftsman magazine picked up the RMJ subscribers with issues remaining, but I don't think they are handling the back issues -- might be worth checking. Back issues from virtually all model and prototype rail magazines are available from Railpub.

If you are still interested, I can remove those articles from the magazines.  Send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll send them off to you.

(Oh, and I see you're in Enfield.  My sister lives in Enfield).

 Thanks MaxMan for sacrificing your copies; the articles arrived safe and sound.

I am still looking for:

So if anyone has articles to send along, or can make copies of the articles  and then send them, I would be appreciative.

Glad you got the articles.  I was happy to help.  I think I remember seeing those other articles, but they may have been in issues that I already had stripped for the articles I wanted and then disposed of.

By the way, you listed the Skyscrapers In HO article twice.  Did the keyboard stutter or did you mean to list something else?

Sometimes my cut and paste gets out of hand (besides it was somewhat early in the AM without a lot of coffee.  

BTW 

Put up a few of the urban structure pictures on my new web site for the CT River Valley RR.
