Magazine Index
As you may know we regularly advertise in the Model Rail magazine from Emap and are aware that this magazine is very popular with today's innovative and latest technology minded modellers. The DCC - The Way Ahead articles by Phil Grainger epitomise this and are THE source for info on this subject.
With this in mind, and now with the support of Chris Leigh and the team at Model Rail, we are able to bring you a quality index of one of the most popular modelling magazines available.
This index has been put together by Adrian Hall (UKMS - Webmaster), Brian Martin - Membership Secretary - MERG, and with further assistance from Mark Patrick and Ian Murray. We hope we have included 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 find that something is missing, or have any questions about it, just let us know on the Model Rail Index submission form and we will do the research.

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)
