Inspired by Chis Lonero's recent post and the fact that OGR has a new marketing manager it might be of interest to collect here on the forum what other magazines you subscribe to read and why. I for one only subscribe to OGR because the content caters more to Hi-Rail scale and scenery detail. Used to get CTT but a bit to much "Toy" in their content so I let that one go a few years back. On occasion I will pick up a copy of model railroader.

 

What do you read?

OGR, Classic Trains, and the publications that come from TCA and TTOS. I dropped CTT a few years ago, but still buy the bound volumes once a year.

 

I have every issue of CTT in bound volumes and every issue of OGR in bound volumes from the time the Biggars bought the magazine until OGR discontinued offering bound volumes.

 

I was very disappointed when OGR stopped offering bound volumes. I saved individual copies of OGR for years with the intent of having a local bookbinder make some up, but the piles got too high and I delivered them to the mall display that TTOS has here in the Bay Area. Lots of local folks get to read my used copies of train mags.

 

Volumes on DVD just don't do it for me, but I like an actual book or magazine.

I only get OGR.  

 

I used to get CTT but I started to go more towards 3rs and OGR fits that more.  

 

I did just write and article for "Live Steam and Outdoor Railroading".  I do not do any outdoor railroading but the editor Neil was very interested in some photos of the 1225-765 Doubleheader trip I took back in 2009.

 

I was even lucky enough to get my photo published on the front cover!

As for models, I get OGR digital, as well as the TCA and LCCA publications and Plasticville. For the prototype, I get Trains and First and Fastest (Shoreline Historical Society), and the publications of the Milwaukee Road and C&NW historical societies.

 

By the way, this is probably less than a third of the publications I was getting ten years ago.

I get 2, OGR and that other one that has 3 letters, starts with C, ends with T, and it's Not a Cat magazine! They both has interesting articles, info, and pictures, but I do prefer OGR the best, as with the forums, I'll check out the Yahoo Fastrack and CCT forums but this is the best one of all here at OGR!

I subscribe to CTT and also receive in the mail the member publication for TCS and LCCA (and Lionel's own club too.)

I also thoroughly enjoy and find invaluable the issues of OGR that I always and regularly buy at Barnes and Noble and if OGR ever starts accepting subscriptions via check or money order through the mail, I will likewise subscribe to it as I have with the other aforementioned publications.

Subscribe to OGR, CTT, Trains, Classic Trains.

From club or society memberships I get The Soo, The Lion Roars, and Inside Track.

I buy every issue of O Scale Trains.

On occasion I'll buy RMC, MR,  Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette, and Live Steam.

I also read all my friend's copies of S Gaugian.

And my relatives in Germany send me occasional copies of various model rr magazines from there.
