I would welcome the return of a magazine dedicated to LEGO trains. I miss the details and knowledge from Rail Bricks. I was actually looking at the first and second editions of Rail Bricks yesterday. I would be willing to subscribe to a new magazine, but it has to be both a hard copy and a digital version. A number of earlier earlier posts have also indicated the magazine needs to include more than just trains to attract the interest larger community as a revenue stream. The new magazine will also require a link to the larger LEGO community. Rail Bricks was available in the LEGO stores for sale and the new magazine would need the same level of access. Making the hard copies available for distribution at LEGO train clubs displays would generate interest but would require a loss for some time but would give it an opportunity to become more profitable in the long run. Rail Bricks has some very talented writers that were able to write about subjects they loved and that made it all the more special. Here’s hoping the new magazine with achieve the same level of quality and dedication.
I would love the opportunity to contribute to the new magazine in some form. We have lost too many of our original forms of communication because they were not able to adapt to the changes. While LUGNET stills exist, who really uses it or visits on a regular basis? AS a community, we can’t let this opportunity slip away again.
