[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by emdgp92 [ Even though I have most of the paper indexes from MR, I'd rather keep my copies, and use the index on here. It's much easier that way. [/quote] That brings up an interesting point . Look at what the the mag index here lists for, say, the March 1946 MR: Making steam loco pilots Union Line box car NYSME trackplan How to use signals Building a Consolidation Locomotive, part 6: tender Convert a Hudson into a suburban Rectory railroad A.A.R. 1932 standard steel sheathed box car Eight articles. Isn't that sort of tacit admission that there aren't more than eight things in that issue worth keeping track of? Let's look at these eight. Just from the titles, I'd certainly keep: Union Line box car A.A.R. 1932 standard steel sheathed box car I might keep: How to use signals but I suspect there ain't much in there that hasn't been covered several times more recently in articles or books. These - by title alone - have no appeal to me: Making steam loco pilots For one, I have no interest in steam, plus, is this necessary on today's - or the last 10 year's - locos? NYSME trackplan A club plan. No interest. Building a Consolidation Locomotive, part 6: tender Again, steam and probably unnecessary given what's out there. Perhaps some proto photos or info worth keeping. Convert a Hudson into a suburban See previous two. Rectory railroad ??? but likely a feature on some model building priest, running a train with his vestments and engineer's cap on. . . Maybe if this had been the first MR I'd ever bought (I still my first time-tattered Scale Modeler) I'd hang on to it, but seeing it for the first time in 2006, I can see I'd be shedding about 90% of the pages.
