Magazine Index
In connection and with the support of MODEL RAIL we are able to bring you a quality index of one of the most popular British Railway modelling magazines available.
After 3 years of active work plus support for two years prior to that on the MR Index, Brian Martin is taking a well earned rest and returning to active modelling. I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Brian for all his assitance on the Index.
The updates to the Index has now been taken over by Ian MacDonald of Huddersfield MRC. You may well have seen and downloaded his earlier version of the index from the Huddersfield MRC website.
As from October 2010 we are now working together to bring you a combined and improved index of this highly popular railway modelling magazine. The first enhancement being the adoption of the Bachmann Era classification as used in the Model Rail reviews.
With the combined Index we hope to include all the important articles and pieces of information in the magazine and we will endeavour to keep this as up to date as possible. But If you have any thoughts as to anything more you would like to see in the new Index please contact us.
Our thanks still go to all those that have assisted me in putting the index together:
Brian Martin (Vice Chairman - MERG),
Mark Patrick and
Ian Murray.
- Adrian Hall, Webmaster

Its Here Somewhere…
Imagine Railway Modellers going back some thirty years, Model Railway Constructors, British Railways Illustrated, Steam Days, and others, all in boxes in the attic neatly labelled in years. A fine data base, lovingly kept, and added to at the rate of three magazines a month. All the info that you could ever want on almost any British railway subject.
But what happens when you try to find something?
You remember reading several articles in the distant past, but the task of reading through the lot would be huge and you don't have a whole weekend to waste. However, you recall one article in particular about a year or so back, in Railway Modeller that dealt with the subject. It should be relatively easy to find.
So why keep them? Why not just bin them all and save the space? It would be sacrilege to do that wouldn't it? - If you have a computer running Windows 95 or later then £10 solves your problems.
The Railway Search Index (RSI) from Marginalert contains a database of over 1000 magazines (which you can easily add to or delete from, to customise your own library)
