Searching Digital Archives
Posted by shootingstar57 on Sunday, January 16, 2022 11:37 AM

Does a subscription to trains.com not include the ability to search the digital archives of Model Railroader? I can view all the past issues, but I don't see in the archives anywhere I can search for topics or past articles. When I open a specific magazine issue, I can search within that issue, but that doesn't seem practical. Am I missing something?

In the older version of the archives, I could search the entire database and bookmark articles, however none of that information shows up in the new archives. All the bookmarks I had are unavailable.

Thanks, Mark

Don't believe you can anymore. Big part of why I cancelled my subscription to the archives and the magazine itself. Was such a useful resource and they just ruined it.

Steve Otte says it's more frustrating to the staff, and the IT people are working on a way to search.

I seen it in an earlier post, I think in the General Discussion forum.
