his little magazine venture of ours, that we started
back in 2009, has grown so it now appears we’ve
overtaken
Railroad Model Craftsman
in circula-
tion. Per the measures we list here, it’s safe to say MRH has
become the number two general model railroading publica-
tion in the hobby as to audience reach.
Let’s take a closer look at the numbers. Many of these stats you

get the numbers for MRH, our annual audience statement is on

physical publication to count. The Audience statistics reported here follow the strict guidelines set forth in this document published
