I am in need of help from my Forum friends again. I'm trying to locate a couple of old Mainline Modeler issues. I'm looking for May and June 2004. I've found the May issue but I can't find the June issue. I seem to remember coming across a company that carries a lot of those old issues. I just can't remember the exact name of the company. In the alternative, I'm looking for the articles on the SP&S bulkheads. As usual, any assistance that can be provided would be most welcomed.
Someone mentioned in passing recently that one of the railroad historical societies has placed the entire Mainline Modeler back issues on their website.
But I can't recall which one! And maybe it is member only access. I will try to find out

Check TrainLife. They have an archive of some of the defunct modeling magazines although I don't know if Mainline Modeler is one of them.
The C&O Historical Society has placed the entire run of "Mainline Modeler", including the very elusive first issue on CD, which is for sale to non-members and members alike.
NHTX The C&O Historical Society has placed the entire run of "Mainline Modeler", including the very elusive first issue on CD, which is for sale to non-members and members alike.
I couldn't find it on the site but I did send them an email asking them for assistance.

I believe the company was called RailPub. They have closed down, I think the owner retired.

I found out the cost and decided that the set was cost prohibative for my budget.

Unfortunately, Mainline Modeler is not one of the listed maganizes.
All I need is the article on the SP&S bulkheads from each of the referenced issues.

I found and purchased the May issue but I still need the June issue or at least the pages that contain the referenced SP&S bulkhead article.
