Railroad and Railfan gets a new life !!!!!
Posted by seabeachexpress on Sat Aug 30 15:31:38 2014 edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d Bucklin, Missouri) – White River Productions has acquired Railroad Model Craftsman and Railfan & Railroad magazines, effective September 1, 2014. The asset purchase agreement between Carstens Publications and White River Productions was completed Thursday, August 28, 2014. Carstens Publications’ final issues of the two titles are the June issues, and future issues will be produced by White River Productions. Staff assignments for the two publications have not yet been determined. Included in the agreement is the Books Division of Carstens Publications, which will continue under White River Productions. Not included is Flying Models magazine. “We are excited to welcome these two Carstens titles to our family of White River Productions publications,” said Kevin EuDaly, president of White River Productions. “These magazines are an important part of railroad publications and White River Productions looks forward to continuing their legacies.” Subscribers will be pleased to know existing subscriptions are to be honored and fulfilled by the new ownership. Fulfillment will be based on the number of remaining issues in existing subscriptions. Due to the need to get the magazines’ cover dates current, a combined issue scenario will likely be employed, but the number of issues owed to each subscriber will be adjusted accordingly. “If you have six issues left on your subscription, you will receive six issues,” EuDaly said. The magazines’ new mailing address for all subscriber, reader, and industry communication is the Bucklin address. Advertisers should contact Mike Lindsay of White River Productions at 800-282-3291 or via email at ads@railfan.com, ads@modelcraftsman.com, or ads@ modelrailroadnews.com. Mike will be managing advertising for the new titles.

The news seems to indicate now that a June issue was indeed published. Are there others who never received the June issue?

RMC seems to focus on scratch building structures and on narrow gauge, neither of which interests me. "R&R" is also quite a bore. What is left from the old Railroad magazine ? The late Steve Maquire's Transit column is gone. Will WRP continue current events with passenger trains in R&R, which competes with PTJ ?

It seems strange that they must have had money enough to print them but not enough for the postage to mail them.

He kept printing the mag, despite the fact that he wasn't getting paid, or paid much, probably on the theory that he wouldn't get anything if they didn't have magazines to sell. On the other hand, the post office likes its money up front. Just a thought.
