I am going to have to agree with Brakie, RMC seems to still be angled towards the "craftsman" style where MR seems to just want to show us how great a model railroad can look, without actually telling how it got there. Take the weathering articles of late, they show a brush swish, say to use chalk, but not quite all the way. Maybe I am more of the details and text person and my slant is more biased. But RMC does have more text, the layout is not as polished as MR, which maybe is less imtimadating (sp) I did receive the new video series they seem to be coming out with in the mail just yesterday, sort of a magizine in video format. The background scenery section was pretty detailed, Lund showed step by step how to achieve the look, the water/waves section was what I have been waiting for to understand how they lay the first coat. As for the past issues of MR, I have been picking them up at train shows for like a 25¢ each and they are loaded with more articles, more instructions (almost like they are teaching as they are learning?) and much more indepth for the article they are on. Just my 2¢, and yes MR is a very polished mag and is worth the $$ but is still lacking from what they did in the past.
