Hi,

Does anyone knows if there is some software to manage magazines like MRH? I mean some kind of document database management which could be used to organize by article title, subject and so on?

I've considered making my own using the usual DB software, but I'm afraid it could be a bit crude and not as flexible as expected. My programming skills are limited to very simple VBA coding!

Thanks for your comments.

Kind regards,

António

Where are the July 2013 downloadable extra files? When logged into the MRH website and clicking on the appropriate button on the magazine page, I still get the preliminary page which says that these files are coming. I know with the NMRA convention coming that the MRH staff is probably pretty busy, but if Joe has a moment to update us all, that would be appreciated.

I have been building my 14"x86" N Scale layout to the exact rules of the MRH $500 layout rules, and I do have to say, it is VERY limiting. I have used Fifer Hobby as a pricing guide for items that I have owned, and as a supplier. I have ONE plastic structure kit that will need 2 cans of spray paint, and that will lower my budget to about $12 to finish the scenery. I know that I have splurged  on freight cars, and that has eaten up about $200 of the budget.
