Yes, the magazine is welcomed!
The difficultly, if there is one, is new subscribers from the ranks of those who have purchased starter sets for Christmas.
From the starter set group is where I started. I then saw an outdoor layout, heard the matra and the "It's OK to leave these toys outside" addage, and the how-to information.
I doubt this beginner population is growing. I don't thing the manufacturers are specifically targeting potential starter set owners or those who have them.
I see no complementary articles tucked into a starter set with the box indicating important information inside on how to enjoy large scale trains.
The only starter sets in two of the train stores I have recently been in are the older LGB Stainz sets with a price markdown or the words "collectible."
So the magazine will continue to be published until those who continue to subscribe stop doing so.
