Model Railroader is an antiques and collectibles hobby magazine for the model train enthusiast. The oldest and most-respected magazine of its kind, it's been providing hobbyists with tips and projects for decades.

First published in 1934, Model Railroader is dedicated to providing reliable tips, ideas and detailed photos to help hobbyists improve their layouts and always stay on track with ways to replicate the elements of real-world railroad layouts.

With plenty of how-to projects, layout tours and track plans, as well as prototype information, Model Railroader is sure to provide model builders with hours of enjoyment. Each monthly issue includes sections such as, "News and Products," highlighting new products on the market; "Workshop," tips on modeling and operating plus answers to reader-submitted questions; "Step-by-Step," detailed instructions for a new projects to improve layout; "Information Desk," an educational look at real railroads to help readers become better remodelers; "DCC Corner," highlights of model train operation using Digital Command Control; "Product Reviews;" "Trackside Photos," photos showcasing the work of fellow model builders; "The Operators," tips for reproducing prototype operations; and "Trains of Thought," a more philosophical look at model trains and lessons learned from model building.

Model train enthusiasts can look forward to two special issues each year. "Great Model Railroads" showcases impressive and inspiring model railroads along with plans and instructions, and "Model Railroad Planning" tackles the key aspects of designing and building a model railroad.

For the serious hobbyist with a one-track mind for all things railroad, Model Railroader is the perfect choice.
