gmo1515The archive search feature was by far the most powerful tool for the archives because often you don't know what particular issue an article might have been in and now that appears to have vanished.
I agree with this. In addition, the original search feature included many more magazines than just Kalmbach publications.
The magazine archives seem to have lost the search function to look up articles. Frankly I find to older issues much more valuable for modeling content (scratchbuilding and kitbashing in particular) than the current magazine. Before anyone starts with thinking I'm an old fogie talking about how it was in the "good old days", I'm only 41 years old.

Yes, this and that are frustrating. And this and that sucks.
Intelligent people that can't figure out something that seems to be rather simple.
Sign in to the trains.com site.
On the very first page scroll down to where it says "current magazine issues". The very first line says, in red, "browse the archives". Click there. The next tab that opens has five pictures, one for each of the Kalmbach publications. Click the one you want. You don't even have to know how to read.
Logger Mike Sorry guys the Trains.com site REALLY SUCKS. I canceled all subscriptions I had previously as directed by Davids Video, and then subscribed to the new and improved site for the ULTIMATE subscription. I want to read the actual MRR MAGAZINE, BUT IT HAVE YET TO FIND ANY USABLE LINKS to the actual publcation...I only keep going back the the SUBSCRIBE page. Really frustrated...really miss the old ways for both MRR and MRVP. Anyone find out how to get to the actual Mag?

As the saying goes, join the club!
It took me forever to figure it out myself. Like others have stated, you have to go to the archives and then click on the issue. There is a "read" button that brings up the digital issue.

Yeah, hard to navigate and don't even think about logging into different promps. Anyway go to mag's, then archives, then hit explore archives, any other way might get you to the screen you want but not let you in once there.
How long have we been waiting for new forum software?
I moved to Delaware in 2018. Look at my avatar, and it still says Bedford, MA. I've given up trying to even change something like that.
I sadly fear the suits have taken over Kalmbach.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
