Probably a boost to sales for one year, two if they are lucky. Wringing that last drop of revenue out of the dead tree mountain, before print goes extinct for small volume publications; and an offer that might ease some of their readership toward online access.
There is some good stuff in there, especially that contributed by people who worked in the rail industry: anyone for a brisk diatribe from Robbo Ormiston-Chant? Hopefully it has been scanned with great care, so that the many line drawings are useful. (Not much hope for the typical quality half tone monochrome photo reproduction, the original print quality was typically muddy and blurry.) Will they dare include the product reviews: typical anodyne, but once in a while something rather more fun; that relating to the brass HO King of fond memory, in which the fact that it was HO rather then OO
was never mentioned.
What a brilliant idea! I can now relive my childhood in back issues. You must however take out a subscription to Railway Modeller to access them. To work my way through them is going to take ages, my wife isn't going to see me for months 
.What a wealth of information to peruse.
