FREE - Model Railroad Magazine

Model Railroad Hobbyist has released its second issue. Download the FREE online model railroad magazine here. This high quality, tech-heavy magazine format downloadable hobby magazine is well worth the wait. It is produced by a firm that specializes in video productions and writers that are in love with model railroading. It is rich in features and experience. Articles and photos are the equal of any glossy national hobby magazine.

The presentation relies on all the power that your computer and various support software can deliver. In some cases it may overwhelm an older computer. In the event that the magazine takes too long to download, the publishers make the magazine available in a somewhat smaller file size. The smaller file trims some of the more tech-heavy and file intensive features. My patient and computer power was able to handle both file sizes. The larger file is made of compressed information too.

The menu system is built into the publication. It did throw me off briefly because it does NOT use the conventional Windows-type controls. Once I found it and figured it out, it was very simply and made sense for a page by page magazine.

Usually we try to avoid the advertisements. With this publication I did the opposite for every product I had the mildest interest in. Make sure to run all the ads and hover over various feature points. You will be rewarded with closeup photos, moving videos, and additional details. This is the web proving its worth. You may have to download and install some free third-party software to see all the features. After the first run, you will be all set for future editions. The publishers go far beyond brochure-ware or recreating a print magazine on your computer or laptop.

Have fun!
