Forum information works for me. I like to read consumer reviews and discussions on the latest and greatest stuff this Hobby has to offer. If all else fails... I Google it.
How do you stay Current and Informed?

Mostly the different forums that are on the net.
Internet primarily, then a few magazines; digital if available. I am hoping some of my historical societies will have digital editions at some point.
Right here my friends, right here!
In order: This forum, York, social media, internet (manufacturer and retailer web sites), friends, and the magazines.

OGR and other forums and the internet. I don't do social media, but if anyone ever devises anti-social media I'll probably sign up.

I don't try to stay current. My interest is in old Lionel Postwar, so I don't need to know about what is happening now.
I read the two magazines but get most of my information here. Very often its useful internet links. No social media (I'm with Texas Pete on that).
In spite of its occassional foibles this list has been incredibly helpful as I get started again in 3R.

The good old OGR Forum and model train magazines.
OGR mag and fourm, Trains, Classic Trains, Classic Toy Trains, Model Railroader and their forums, Railroad Model Craftsman, Railfan & Railroad, Model Railroad Hobbyist, tracks.lionel.com,Model Train Journal, O Gauge Hobbyist. youtube, model railroading group on Facebook prototype and model railroad groups on facebook and Yahoo groups and whatever else I can find online. I also watch ebay for good deals on information from or about the prototype (rule books, brochures for customers and what not.)
OGR forum......
I have no need to stay current.
OGR Forum and a few O scale and Model Railroad-related Yahoo Groups.
This and other internet train forums, subscribing to the two major O scale magazines, TCA, LCCA, LRRC memberships (with their rspective publications and online member sites/services), email offers from various internet train dealers and visits to LHS's and local/regional train shows.
Both social media aand train clubs are not a part of the equation for me at this time.
I stay current with this great forum. I also subscribe to the magazine that the forum folks put out - its a nice little publication.
Internet, Social Media, Magazines, or Just Some Friends in the Hobby
All of the above!
Lots of internet sites, CTT & OGR, this forum, YouTube & Facebook, and great friends and fellow club members!
