Hey Steve, they say for every 2 good critics, theres a bad one, And i'm afraid I am the black sheep of the lot. However i will try to make my opinion as low key as possible, because i don't want to end up like Rev. Wendell Mcfall. I do not personally like the Quantity for the amount of money I put out. A 90 page magazine these days should sell for mere dimes and Quarters, not 4.95 worth of Quarters. I am a penny pincher too, And I hate spending money uselessly, I DIDN'T say trains magazine was useless, I said it was overpriced by far. I took the time to e-mail the staff, of which i got a beat-around-the-panny-wagon responce, jsut like an answer with Well and umms, so If they can't justify a price TO ME, I don't really want to do the price Justification in my Head. Somehting makes thta magazine expensive, and No one on the Trains.com staff has ofered any reason as to why. Perhaps when they change printing press, or when they use cheaper paper, it may cost less, but 4.95 for a ~90 page magazine, thats a joke half the People I woprk with Use that as a refrence sometimes, but now msot of them (about 50% of the people i work wioth speak English, and every single english worker bought Trains magazine, but it got to coastly, and If you thought the price was bad down there it costs Us 64 CANADIAN DOLLARS A YEAR to subscribe to that magazine, So everyone gave it up. its almsot as expensive as smoking! So i don't know it anyone in the head office is wondering why Canadian sales went down, but all they have to do is look farther then their feet and they might see why. Then I could go on about lack of Canadian Content, But I'll keep this relevent to what you want to know. Actually i'm holding Octobers right now, and I'm just glancing Quickly through i... (90 pages for 6.95) And all there is is a brief mention of Canaidan national Railway. Thats it. thats all. Ao all in all is it worht it? I'm not going to lie, and say I don't learn anyhting from it, because i do learn from it, but is thatknowledge worth 6.95? or 4.95? my answer to that is always No, strictly because, if you really want to know the answer to your Question, Thats why these forums are here. I'm sorry if this is not what you want to hear, but this statmenet represents quite a few people I work with. Hope that helps.
