"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

I got rid of my paper ORG subscription and switched to digital about a year ago. I found myself still craving the magazine in my hands feeling and finally reupped last week. How do the rest of you feel? Do you have both and or which do you prefer. I do love the digital library better than saving every issue.

I'm not as old as the average train guy, but I still prefer paper.  I like to sit down and read a magazine and see the sharp pictures without having the computer ping about an email every few minutes.  And while I hope that OGR stays around for many years, there's no guarantee that the content will continue to be available online.  I sometimes refer back to Model Railroader copies from nearly 50 years ago; what are the chances of being able to do that with online content?  

I have been able to purchase archives of Fine Woodworking on disk, which allowed me to let go of some of my paper.  Unfortunately, I am not aware of archives of any of the train magazines being available in this manner.

I have the digital subscription. I would much rather have that compared to a bunch of magazines taking up space in my house. I do download them and save them every time a new one comes out though. I like that my books I am using for college are all e-books, less for me to carry around, just need my cellphone, tablet, or PC and I can read my chapters for school from anywhere.
