I agree that price will be a BIG issue. Seems like most everything has or will apear in the magazine & I can't see paying a big price for duplicate info. in different formats. I also commented about not having High Speed internet which would only add to my frustration.
I saw the ad and am curious. I will hope for the best. I have the DVD and while it is a bit awkward it does work. Just find it strange that they have an ad in the latest issue but I can find nothing about it, not even an ad on the website.
Kyle jerryl I posted this same response on a simular thread....I hope it's not all on line as I , along with others, don't have access to high speed internet & my DSL at times is so slow that it is useless. Would really like a DVD when & if the bugs that I have heard about are cleared up. I would hope you would be able to download issues. You could simply download the issues before you go to bed, and have them the next day if your internet is truely slow.

From the ad, I think it will be more than just the Online Issues. I get the feelilng it includes MRVideoPlus as well, and possibly both a hard copy and digital subscription.
I have the DVD as well as all hard copy issues since about 1986, and all the MRP and GMRs too. But being able to do an online search would be great.
My "Wish List" would be:
But cost will of course be the big issue.
For those of you who have been wondering about the 75th anniversary DVD, or getting the "lost" 2010-2011 MR issues in a digital format, we have the begining of the answer on page 25 of the November MR
THE MODEL RAILROADER ALL-ACCESS PASS. Every Issue. Every Video. Every Device.
THE ALL-ACCESS PASS BRINGS YOU: Online access to nearly 1000 issues of MR. More than 1000 videos on MR video Plus. Your MR subscription and every online extra.
The above is the copy from the ad. There is no information on pricing or other logistics like being able to download for offline reading and how the paper copy of MR plays into it.
Guess we will have to see how this shakes out, but as a famous space pirate once said "I've got a bad feeling about this. . ."
