I've purchased MR off the newsstands for a number of months and have noticed a very disturbing trend. MR apparently has some bias against N-Scale Model Railroading because the attention to that scale has diminished over time. This IS a popular scale and becoming even more popular even as MR editors seem to feel it necessary to exclude the scale from many issues. The fact that there are two mags dedicated to N-Scale modeling is irrelevant for one very BIG reason: NEITHER is available on the newsstands! I have checked with all the major booksellers in town, Barnes and Noble, B. Dalton (owned by B&N) and Borders and neither can even order. No LHS here carries either. MR is the biggest RR pub and really, in all fairness, should focus more on N-Scale. Granted, HO is currently the most popular, but even that is relative to market. The fact is, MR, even it's name is generic, needs to live up to its name and give equal time to each scale, not just N, but the rest as well. I don't need to tell anyone this but Model Railroading includes all scales, not just HO. So, imho, if they want to call the rag Model Railroading, then give more attention to all scales. Otherwise, change it to HO Model Railroading. Regards, Jesse
