IST Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think it will be harder and harder to release a paper magazine, due to the lots of available information on the internet. But I prefer more the paper version. Link to comment
kvp Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 But I prefer more the paper version. This reminds me that i should give you back the magazines i got. My attempts at translating them with a phone app with camera support has so far failed, so i can only look at the pictures, but can't translate the texts. Online magazines have the extra ability to be translated by google. (it's bad, but at least it's something) Link to comment
Kabutoni Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ah that awesome awesome magazine! IMO it's one of the best, if not the best model train magazine in Japan and beyond. No wonder they already run for so long. The quality is stable and always presents the most amazing layouts and ideas. It's both conservative and innovative at the same time. Link to comment

I tried to look for some kind of online archive but only found a few great cover photos. But unfortunately no archives and if they did have scans then i still don't know how to read them. (it seems i have to learn japanese to understand at least half of it) A few old pages randomly off the net: http://witt-family.com/gorre-and-daphetid/TMS_3_1_c70.jpg http://witt-family.com/gorre-and-daphetid/TMS_3_2_c70.jpg http://witt-family.com/gorre-and-daphetid/TMS_3_7_c70.jpg http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamaton/kido/zakki/tms120.jpg http://auctions.c.yimg.jp/img297.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/0/1/8/6/nekotonkiniizu-img450x600-1388147404m3nojv25717.jpg http://kjpeppe.tea-nifty.com/usagikun/images/2013/09/28/imgp0724.jpg Link to comment
westfalen Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It's a great magazine even if you can only look at the pictures, I get it every month. Link to comment
