My problem with MR is not Pelle or any of the other "favorites". The problem is that there is rarely anything that interests me.
I found that to be true many years ago, which is why I haven't subscribed for over 20 years. When MR stopped "doing it" for me, I found some other magazines to be much more interesting to me such as Model Railroading and Rail Model Journal, which sadly have both stopped publishing. I'm planning on moving this fall and have boxes of old magazines, which I'll be thinning down and throwing out.
I've already started and I'll be keeping most of my MRG and RMJ magazines as they have more stuff which is relevant to me and more lasting. MR ... not as much, so I'll be tossing quite a few MR magazines out. I've found about all many MR magazines are good for are trips down memory lane which isn't enough to make me keep all but a few now. I've found most MR content is so dated now that it will be MR magazine goes first. At least RMJ and MRG magazines have more articles about prototype stuff which is still relevant historically. A few MR may have a useful articles but most of the content is about stuff that has been superseded so less relevant to me.
