I have to disagree with anyone who says that the 70th anniv. issue didn't have a lot of extra content. I thought it was great, especially the piece on the Tehapachi layout in San Diego (excuse my spelling if this is incorrect) and the Altoona museum. Guys, first of all we have to remember that we have chosen to partake in a somewhat expensive hobby. Secondly, we have to remember that MR does not have the kind of circulation of TIME, Better Homes, GQ, etc etc. It's a real niche market and so I'm not surprised that the prices are a little higher than some other magazines. Besides my subscription to MR, last year I also had sub's to Railroad Model Craftsman, Model Railroading, N Scale, and N Scale Model Railroading. I'm here to tell you that none of these others offer as much content even as MR in my opinion. They are also full of ads as well. What's more, some of them are only bi-monthly, yet are the same prices or even more (which means you pay just as much as MR but receive, at most, 1/2 the content). All in all, MR is still the best value and the best resource. I have since let my sub's to the other mags lapse because of the lack of content (and because it was getting too expensive!). I would like to see more, however. I think MR could give us more layout features, how-to, DCC articles, etc. I especially like articles on the future of DCC such as the article in the Dec. 2003 about the bi-directional DCC we can expect within the next year!
