SPECIAL OGR FREE ISSUE

Hmmm.  Interesting.  I am an OGR Digital Subscriber and got a free issue. Not that I'm complaining as it' a great issue!

It was a great issue, one of the best I have seen. Thank you. Nice review of the Bachmann engine I may get one. Explanation of Railsounds history was also good as well as Jim Policastro's article. He is indeed a master modeler.

 

Will subscribe for a year, I stopped due to some hard times I was having with family and health issues.

I'm thinking about doing the two year deal for $62.95.  I believe that my digital sub. has expired?   Can I pay $5.00 more and get the Great layout Adventures #7 Blu-Ray instead of the DVD?  Would  calling the office be the best why to go about this?

Mike, the answer to both of your questions is YES.

 

If you call today or Friday, tell the folks at the office that I OK'd this via the forum. I will not be in the office the rest of the week. I'm flying the King Air both days.

I just subscribed online on March 7th.  Will I get the 8 for 7 deal?

Rich,

I got mine yesterday, (I am a digital subscriber), you need something in the envelope explaining the special deal. Until now I didn't know why I was getting it.

Scott Smith

Well the 2 year deal with the free DVD is a great enticement, Great Layout Adventures 7 is a great video. I Cant say the best yet because the entire series is excellent,

 

I keep them handy and throw them in when i need something to watch since there is nothing decent to watch on TV.  Looking forward to no 8.

 

Good Job OGR.

 

 

 

Nice gesture but no need here. Have been subscribing continuously for several years for the old fashioned paper magazine version that I can take along with me. Might try digital next year as that is the wave of the future. 

Man I didn't get no free magazine love

Long before I knew about or became a member of this Forum, I have been a subscriber. I personally would not want to miss an issue. I hope this latest sales campaign helps to improve your overall circulation as your success has an immediate impact in continuing this wonderful O-Gauge resource.

What determined being a recipient of the free magazine if I may ask?

Have been contemplating starting a digital subscription .....

I'm just a dreary old hard-copy subscriber ... "no free nuttin".

But I do have my very first copy, issue #1, and every one since then.

It's the only train magazine of which I keep all issues.

Sam, we used a couple of industry mailing lists and ran them against our subscriber list so only non-subscribers would get one. We sent out 10,000 of these promotional issues.

 

However, we think the mailing house made some mistakes with the lists. if you are already a subscriber to OGR and you got one of these free issues, please let me know by posting here.

 

Kerrigan, it is "...dreary old hard-copy subscribers..." like you that have made our magazine a success. Thank you very much for your support of OGR through the years!

Rich, I got the free issue and I'm a subscriber...at least I hope I still am!

My paper subscription had expired and a few months went by before I started a digital one.  I like the paper but can't afford both.

 

Hey Dennis...  "pdf" stands for PORTABLE Document Format.  Sure is easy to take with me...

I am a subscriber and I received one.  I'll pass it along to a friend ...mabye he will subscribe.. Question about my digital subscription, will I get a renewal notice for it?  Thanks

 

Mark

I got one, Rich. Thanks, I enjoyed the issued and I'll probably subscribe for the two year offer and take advantage of the free DVD.

Terrific, Larry! I'll be looking for your subscription to hit the door.

I am a subscriber, the free issue I received is an issue I already had.

Excellent job on the free issue (started reading it last night while on break). You just may have another subscriber.

Thanks for the free copy; I’ll drop it off at the dentist office this week in hopes to inspire others.

Thanks for the free issue, but why did you not list York where you have the future meets listed?

I am a digital subscriber and received the free hardcopy.

Rich I'm on the forum nor am i a current subscriber but did not get the free offer. I'd like to subscribe and have seen references to both hard copy subs as well as digital. But when I click on the link in your first post I don't see a choice between the two. Is the link and the special offer only for the hard copy or can I get the digital? If so, how do I make the choice in the online order? Many thanks. Jerrman

If you're referring to the published "Scheduled Meets" section, I can answer that one: 

 

First, information for Scheduled Meets listings comes from event organizers or sponsors.  If we don't receive it, it doesn't appear. 

 

Second, the York Meet is not a public event, so really doesn't have much relevance in that section.

 

I don't believe the York Meet has ever been listed in Scheduled Meets, at least not as long as I've been editing and formatting those items.

Hi Ed,

 

Just to add to what Allan said - I switched over to postwar in the early 1980s and attended train meets far and wide. I always used the train magazine listings of meets to find new ones to attend, but had never heard of York. It had never been listed in any of the major magazines, and I've been reading them for a long time.

 

I first heard of the York meet from Ron Hollander's book "All Aboard."

Hey Rich, I have been a subscriber for over ten years. So what about me?sniff, sniff!

Boy am I glad I kept my mouth shut. I just got mine today. Thank you. I've been buying from my LHS each month. I may just go ahead and subscribe now.

I decided to renew my digital sub.  I kind of prefer paper.  But the digital version is much better on my iPad2 vs. my laptop.  Plus, I need to declutter the house!  Digital will help in this cause.  I can get 3 years of digital for the price of the 2 year paper sub.  Although, I won't get the free layout DVD.  Since I picked the digital over the paper sub.   

 

 F.Y.I. - I didn't recieve the free issue.

I just got a free issue......and I have been a subscriber since run 99.......is it because I recently signed up for digital too?   Thank you anyway.......I love having stuff to read all over the house .

 

Peter

Rich.....great idea and it should translate into several hundred new subscribers.  I got a free issue and have been a subscriber for many years so you are correct, your mailing house made some mistakes.  Those of us that are subscribers and got the free issue need to help out by either giving the extra copy to a potential new O-gauger or take it down to the local library and donate it to the magazine rack.  I am on my way now...

 

Alan

Hi,

How about this instead.

I pay for shipping, and send me the free copy?

I think I would like to read this mag before spending this much.

Rich,

Thank you,

I recently received"O Gauge Railroading Magazine," "Run 256, Apr./May 2012," in the U.S. mails.

I was not a subscriber, but I did enjoy the your publication, which is informative and presents updates, regarding model railroading and its products.

As, a result I just recently joined "O Gauge Railroading Forum" and I will become a subscriber to "O Gauge Railroading Magazine."

Respectfully,

RJL

Rich;

I've been a subscriber since about Run 187 and I received a copy of the "free" issue.  I have already passed it on to a co-worker who spends time with his nephew visiting various train venues.

 

Nope...this had nothing to do with the Digital Edition. Our mailing house didn't handle the Merger/Purge correctly and we ended up sending several hundred of these to those of you who are already subscribers. If you are a subscriber and you got one, pass it along to someone else who may enjoy it.

Welcome aboard, RJL! I pleased to see that you will become a subscriber to OGR. I'm sure you will find it to be very enjoyable reading.

Perfect! Thanks, TrainPop!

I did not receive a free issue although I am a subscriber

Isn't that an upgrage from what you got from Santa in December?

Just subscribed for a 2 year deal.
