Saw on the phone today, where KALMBACH MEDIA is closing its doors, and MODEL RAILROADER AND TRAINS magazines have been sold to Firecrown Media, of Chattanooga, TN.
Could sort of see this coming, as these mags were a shadow of the excellent publications they once were, but still sad to see it go this way. Like I tell my son--- nothing good lasts forever.

Re: M.R and Trains Magazines
In MR I liked the small and medium sized layout articles
In Trains I liked the Short Line and Regional railroad articles. I also liked when they would show a mixed freight and the orgins and destinations of each car.

Re: M.R and Trains Magazines
There are a couple of discussions about the Kalmbach sale to Firecrown Media at the Model Railroad Hobbyist discussions forums.
Kalmbach Publishing sold to Firecrown Media:

Interview with Craig Fuller, new owner of Kalmbach's train publications:

One would think that Firecrown wouldn't have bought Kalmbach just to kill off all of Kalmbach's publications. The speculation from the many folks who post in the above discussions is that they think that Model Railroader magazine will probably get published 4 times a year, for $11 per issue. Time will tell what will happen.
