Like many others, I never realized the index was there/available. As a neophyte Model Railroader and one truly ignorant of railroads, there is MUCH I have to learn as I try to get into the hobby and build and accurate of the Flint Hills & Fall River RR in 1955. What engines, what cars, what, what, what is accurate to the time? How do I...? I think the index will prove VERY helpful to me. Thanks for making me aware of it!

Yes, I've used going back a few years when it was hosted by Accurail.

Wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Kalmbach for hosting it now. Much appreciated! [^][:)]

I'll bet there's a lot more on this forum I have missed besides this option. An optional $ charge; there's merit. The ball in your court management. Run with it. Perhaps downloading a Kalmbach
article can be linked to our subcription number such as being a subscriber to MR.

I pay $9.00 a month to belong to www.trainorders.com and that's a minimum membership.

For trains, I wouldn't object paying a fee for up-grades/enhancement options. Maybe, you can increase the download speed too.

I didn't know it existed. I have a collection of contiguos years of mostly MR bought cheifly from newstands and as a non-subscriber for the majority of these years, have no index for the magazines. Access to an index is a big plus.To be able to print down specific years would be just great. I have been subscribing again for the last couple of years to MR so I get the annual index as a subscriber again, but for earlier years, the service is appreciated.

Geoff I wish I was better trained.

I want to double what CBQ guy said: THANKS, Kalmbach, for maintaining it and hosting it. It's a tremendous resourse that's unparalleled in almost any other hobby.

The index is super, but there's the problem of getting hands on the issue that has what I'm looking for on it. I think the idea to have a download capability would be fantastic and something that I would readily pay a fee for.

I never knew this index existed, but now that I do it should be useful.
