Nice little magazine. It's off to a good start.
Yep, I heard about it through a Proto:48 group on Yahoo I read through.
Pretty nice mag w/some interesting articles. Thanks for posting.
That's really nice.
Chris
It is an excellent concentration of useful and interesting information. Thanks Dan!
Bob
Nice resource, thanks.
Andy
It was certainly interesting to read about the history of Joe Fisher and his models, about which i have read for years, and, rarely, seen on eBay and at the Chicago show. Difficult
to read, broken up as pages are, but....works. Thanks for posting.
Very nice. Now in my train bookmarks. Thanks; Don
Too much to deal with as far as getting a readable view. Too big, or too small, to see anything comfortably, no in-between. I hate, and avoid PDF.
Great magazine!

wth do you want it on a silver platter. It is free and has a lot of information. Some people are just to lazy to increase the font size and the bottom of the page, you have 3 options.

Probably does while you read it to him while he's on the porcelain throne....
WOW! Now we have 6 E-zines to download and read:
O Scale Resource
O Scale Trains
S-CL Modeler
Model Railroad Hobbyist
B&O Modeler
New York Central Modeler
Who's next?!?!?!
So far looks like a nice mag, but not my thing. It is geared to scale and detail, but I enjoyed the railroading history stuff, like how they "address the cars for shipping".
How many of these other online mags are free? Yesh, I'm cheap, but I'd rather spend my hard earned cash on trains for me instead of on things about others trains.
Thanks Chip, another download in progress!
All of these can be downloaded quickly by using the "Right Click" on your mouse then "Save Link As" when the screen pops up. I called PSC the other day about some parts and they didn't know that could be done as both Mark and Janet asked me how long it took to download the Steam Engine catalog (it was a matter of a few short minutes).

All of the 7 ChipR and myself posted about.
Yep Martin, it is simply amazing 
25 years ago this was not possible, maybe not that long ago (when did Al Gore invent the internet?). Looking thru old issues of magazines (from the 80s) there's no mention of internet addresses, email addresses or PDF files, only phones numbers and "Send Self-Addressed, Stamped Envelope" for more information. I can still recall the smell of mimeographed copies of articles I wanted to read

I think there was more than that in size choices, still too or big too small. I don't look at most mfg.s pdf catalogs either. It was a criticism of format, not content, or price.

Just like Mommy used to?
Nice magazine. I hope they do well.
As far as PDF files go, I understand why small manufacturers would use them. If you don't want to look at them on screen, you could always print them out. Seems like kind of an odd reason not to look at a manufacturer but to each their own.
Thanks Matt, downloaded those too! Some of the C&NW class Z 2-8-0 engines made their way to the Seaboard Air Line.
