[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jfugate Mainline Modeler Magazine strikes me as an oxymoron magazine in concept. If you're modeling a mainline road, you generally think larger layout. But if you build a larger layout using the painstaking techniques they show, it will take three lifetimes to accomplish anything significant. [/quote] It could also be taken as a magazine that offers models that appear on a main line. I used to buy MM regularly until our local shop stopped carrying it, and subscribing was more costly than I was interested in. There were some great articles in it when I was getting it (including some of mine!), but to me there were way too many from John Nehrich featuring his modeling of upstate New York, with endless photos of non railroad structures. Great if you live in the area and are modeling it but not enough generic ideas. Our LHS stopped carrying it because they demanded the return of unsold copies, rather than just the covers as other mags do. The postage cost was way more than any profit the owner would make from the few that did sell. If I see copies in shops I visit I'll check them out to see if there is anything of interest to me.
