Caring about small things
I
f you look at the smaller scales like N and Z, notice that
those scales each have their own magazine, and in fact,
N scale has
two
(count them, two) magazines.
We believe it’s pretty clear that the scales who now have their
own magazines, namely N and Z scale, have largely siphoned off
most of the small scale modeling readers from
Model Railroader
magazine. Then there’s the narrow gauge guys who have their
own magazine in the
Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazette
.
If you take all the readers who now have their own magazine
and add it back into MR’s circulation numbers, we bet you will
get a much larger number.
Finally, if you add back in all the non-subscribers who now rely
on the internet, we think it’s possible the total number of mod-
elers could approach or even exceed the top circulation num-
bers of
Model Railroader
when it peaked in the late 1980s and
early 1990s.
MRH has an advantage because we’re free: the only cost for
checking us out each month is a little time.
