Which is the best model railroad magazine?

[ezdays]

Speaking of magazines, I've subscribed to Model Railroader now for over 10 years and each year I ponder whether it's worth the cost. I do like to see what others are doing and there are some helpful tips there along with the ads. Yes, there are times when I'm more interested in the ads than the other content. This year I decided that $43 was a bit more than I was willing to pay, so I let it expire. A few weeks later, I got an email offering me to renew a "12 issue" subscription for only $39, so I clicked on the link and renewed. Well, the first thing to come in the mail was the previous month's issue, followed a few days later by the current issue, and about a week later, the regular issue for that month. In other words, I got a 10 month subscription along with two older (although, not much older) issues. Had I already bought those issues, I'd have been screwed. I don't know if this is the reason for the lower rate, to get rid of older issues, or that they just figured I would be happy to get those other two issues, but if you get the same offer, remember this before you subscribe....
