I have been a reader since the 1950's, and a subscriber for over 30 years. I still look forward to each month's issue. Infrequently, I purchase other competitor publications, but they just don't measure up. I look to your new product evaluations as a major aid in my decision making on purchases.

Keep up the great work !!!!

My vote was a "10". each year it improves to appeal to our changing culture and likes. My first issue of MR was in 1957 at 10 years old.
Graphically it maintains interest and feels up to date.
Most of the larger ads still have the same feel and style as they did in thesixties.
The only improvement I would love to see is "perfect" binding like the annuals you produce.
I dont subscribe because I want to see your magazine on the shelves of my local Wal-Mart and Smith's grocerys. That way others will see it too and as I was be lured to the lifelong pleasure and passtime of model railroading.

I think that the magazine is really good. Voted an "8." i've been reading it since i was 10 or so. I think that the ads are a huge part people read the magazine for. I don't think there is any type ov overkill or underkill in this area. I would like to see a few more prototype drawings or kitbashing articles though. There is always a piece of rollingstock, scene, or structure that someone somewhere is trying to build, and if someone wasn't looking to build that, they can get a very good idea from that to build something that they want. Im my opinion, the editions with "how to's" are the most exciting to read.
