Has the publisher considered putting out an on-line subscription to TRAINS? I do like to read it, but I have no room for hard copies and I refuse to spend $5 just to read it and then throw it away.

How about an online subsctiption that has all of the photos and print of the paper copy and then once a year, a CD-ROM for those of use who wi***o have a permant copy????

I subscribe to CPU magazine, a sandhill publications magazine. They have worked out a very interesting offer where subscribers to any one of their several in print magazines, get access to the online archive of all their magazines, plus "out trimmings" of parts of the original articles that had to be shaved down, to fit magazine constraints.

It's odd, because it's not the kinda thing that made me want to run right out and subscribe,..the magazine did that, but do you think I'd DARE let my script expire now? heck no,..I gotta maintain access to their article database!![8D]

Why throw it away I save all my Tains and Mr magizines. Espically MR you never know when you may ned to go back and find an artical for some refence to a certain subject. They have come in handy for me this way from time to time. I have a few big filing cabinets full of magzines of mr and other train related magzines.

the reason i picked omaha-council bluffs is that it is one major rail gathering
site i never got to visit, but wanted to. i live in ohio and have visited bellevue
many times, otherwise i would have selected it.

going back some time, i can't figure manchester ga as a train spot of such
tremendous proportions. give me dalton ga any time [outside atlanta].

It was a great issue and I enjoyed all the articles very much. However, I enjoyed "In The Footsteps of David and Doc" the most. I'm a really big steam fan and am very interested in places where steam lingered on after the Class 1's dieselized. Keep up the good work in producing such a great magazine!

Hey Erik, I would have to go with the cover story of the NO MAN TRAINS, because it was very informative to me since I want to be an engineer when I grow up. By the way in the picture of Rochelle in your profile is that you down there? [^] David

I picked the blue print of bellvue, the nickle plate main is 6 miles from my house. I used to go to new have ,in. to see the steam engines that were stiil operating , run out towards payne, oh. then on east. Nothing like seeing a big Berk.pulling hard when your 7 yrs. old!!!

I like the railroad maps because it made reference to the Frisco railroad. The old Frisco was and always will be my favorite railroad. I just wi***he hobby manufacturers will produce more products with the Frisco roadname.

I picked Bellevue as I find it interesting to find out about the older installations. It is before my time for working on the railway and helpful in my modeling. The whole magazine was infomative and interesting to read

I couldn't vote...my favorite thing about that issue was the coverage of the Chicago Plan. I hope I get to see that put in place by their deadline. Mike Blaszak did his usual thorough job. There are a few inaccuracies (even between the map and the text), and more than a few unanswered questions, but I think this is about the biggest news in railroading, or will be once it moves forward.

The Article on remotes could have been more informitive. It offerd very little information on how the device actually works. Such as, How is the box inside the cab wired so it can control the movements. What frequency do they use and how do they control possible interference. Most of the information the article gave, I could have figured out looking at a picture. I have subscibed to TRAINS mag. for over 10 years, I have a question: Do the Publishers at TRAINS hold back some of there information so we are forced to buy there books??
