Using this one piece of unscientific data as my basis, and assuming that there are 200,000 subscribers to MR magazine, my estimate of model railroaders is somewhere around 3, 333,333.

Actually, we do know the subscription count since magazines are required to report that and the reports are printed once a year in the magazine.  Subscriptions reported in Jan 2013 MR are 101,324 avg last 12 months and 99,618 issue nearest filing date.

If you're having fun, you're doing it the right way.

I meant all Kalmbach MR-related mags, such as CTT, etc.    Wink

Hey, it's understandable it's Monday and it's still snowing in Pittsburgh. However the Penguins are red hot!
