I believe MRJ has earned the distinction of being the first UK model railway periodical to break the £5 barrier.
I stopped buying it a while ago, found the articles got a bit repetitive and dull. Occasionally read it when in smiths as certainly won't pay the new price. With the online forums, free mags online and YouTube these cover more than the mag does. The US free online mags such as MRH are very good and cover a lot of subjects not covered over here.
Whilst I appreciate what MRJ has done for the hobby things have moved on.

Indeed.I'm glad I kept all my copies, because over the timescale of MRJ's existence my interests have widened significantly and so many copies that might have been moved on have since proved a good resource - especially with a decent index to hand.
