OGR 55th Anniversary - Show Your Oldest Mag!

Thanks Dan for the acknowledgement!!  Just so that everyone knows, relatively recently we were able to get all issues of the magazine digitized so that anyone that is a digital subscriber will have every issue ever published ... digital subscribers will have the very first issue 55 years ago!  Digital issues are downloadable as well as printable AND digital subscribers have quite a few perks including more pages and access to our digital video library with tons of FREE videos.  The latest issue, run 337 has more than twice the number of pages that the print edition has so if you haven't already become a digital subscriber, PLEASE consider doing so.  You will be glad you did!!

I have Vol 1 Number 1.  I got it the month after I graduated from high school.

Here's the real question.....

How many  of you have the magazines where OGR was actually a few page insert in Traction and Models?

My 1st one was Run 98 (or Run 99)…….late 80s, I think…………but, now I have all of them on my IPad. It’s great to have them available whenever…..

Now there is a question that one day will be moot to a lot of people unless they actually have a print version.  I have wondered how many digital photos on cameras and phones are actually converted to a print.  I have photographs of a lot of my family going back over 120 years, my sons have thousands of pics of their families, but not one printed.  Guess they can paste a thumb drive into an album for future generations and hope there is a technology that will support it.  I want to add in, I saw a suggestion one time and thought it was a neat idea.  I bought a copy of many magazines of my interest in the month and year I was born, Model Railroader,  Railroad Model Craftsman,  Trains,  QST,  CQ, Harley's 'Enthusiast' to name a few, including ones similar to  Saturday Evening Post.  Sealed them up and put them in a box for the offspring's future enjoyment.
