As a long term subscriber to MR, I echo many of the above comments;
The photographs are very dark, the paper is VERY poor, it has been poor for a couple of years, but now seems to have got even worse.
The one area that I find really disappointing is the reviews. MR coined the phrase 'If it's a kit we build it, if it's RTR we take it apart!
Well the trouble is, in the past year to 18 months there has been a distinct lack of taking RTR models apart, I used to find it very interesting, especially with a view to DCC decoder installlation, and any problem areas. It is also good to see the quality of the mechanism of products, before parting with the cash.
Also currenlty thinking of switching my sub to Hornby Mag.
Regards
Ashley
