10th October 2006 - Its Here Somewhere… (Railway Search Index will find it in seconds)
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 you ascend to the attic, open up the box containing the 2005 Railway Modellers and start flicking through the mags. January, February, March, April. Something catches your eye, not the article that you are looking for but interesting nevertheless - it wastes ten minutes. You need to make quicker progress, May, June, July, August, September. Now you start to think that you have gone too fast and might have missed it so back to May and start again.
You may be lucky and find the article, but you can be sure that there is a wealth of info in there that you just couldn’t access. 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 – Buy the Railway Search Index (RSI). It contains a database of over 900 magazines (which you can easily add to or delete from to customise your own library):
BR - British Railways Illustrated (Full Set 1981 to Date)
BY - Railway Bylines (1998 Annual)
MC - Model Railway Constructor (All Issues from October 1983 till its demise in June 1987)
MO - Modelling Railways Illustrated (Full Set September 1993 till its demise in August 1997)
MR - Modern Railways (24 mags between June 1962 and December 1965)
RM - Railway Modeller (All issues from January 1974 to Date, with a few earlier issues)
RW - Railway World (21 mags between January 1966 and October 1968)
SD - Steam Days (Full Set 1986 to Date)
Each article has a three spot index, and some notes on the content, including numbers and names of any real locomotives that are photographed in the article and if you don’t want to update the database yourself every month, there are updates by e-mail for BR, RM, and SD mags (this is optional and cost is an extra £6/pa for four quarterly updates). These updates also contain the latest software version available.
But the real plus is that you find everything in seconds and can go straight to the magazine(s) that you need.
** UPDATES SERVICE **
In addition, we provide a quarterly updates service by e-mail at £6 per year. Updates are sent out at the end of March, June, September, December each year in Zipped files (so you will need WinZip or some other unzipping software to extract the files). Updates include the latest version of the RSI software as well so your software is also always up to date.
