I was introduced to this resource by a most helpful fellow at the Moose Jaw Palliser library. Through this online service I can search back issues of Model Railroader...I think back as far as 1993 so far. The articles DO NOT include pictures but all of the text is there for the reading. I use it fairly often and thought others might want to look into it. You have to login with your library card so contact your library to get connected. There are an amazing number of magazines already in the database with more coming all the time I imagine.
Anyway, I find it useful and wanted to pass it on.
