Well, there is life out there ...It's now 3 hours after my post above, and the magazines have been spoken for, and it only took a guy at one end of the province to get in touch with his friend at the other end of the province, to ask him to call me, in the middle of the province ....so there you go...!

Well, that was my problem ..the word "trash", hard to accept, even though I would likely never go looking through them again, oops, I guess that means they had become "the T word" to me..!

I used to get 5 model magazines a month until the mid 80's when I did a calculation of what was making up RCM. It turned out to be 77% of paper space devoted to advertising. I stopped my subscriptions immediately. As years went on the article and constructive content became less and less. They are nothing more than advertising now.
Look at all the trees I have saved.

My favorite for years was flying Scale Models out of England. Lots of very nice stuff. I built, not well, several of Peter Rake's plans. Lots of fun. Then he passed, then several years ago it just stopped. Got November and nothing more.

Sigh.

Still have 6 or 7 years of them...
