July/August 2021 N-SCALE MAGAZINE

[Pamela Clapp]

N-Scale Magazine printed its first issue 32 years ago - July/August 1989. I worked for the previous publisher back then when there wasn't an N scale magazine in the industry, helping design and launch the first issue. I became the proud owner of N-Scale Magazine 15 years ago and happy to say, still going strong. I hope you will join us and share your layouts, new products, tips and tricks and stories.

Thank you for your support.

As it happened, I switched to N scale in about June 1990, when my new house had a loft of about 12 x 17 and I happened to notice an unfinished N scale layout of that exact size in the Sunday Classifieds (how old does THAT sound?).  Having an HO shelf layout in my old house garage, I bought it and spent several years fixing it up, and even enlarging it after one move (unfortunately, back to a garage, which worked until one of those DFW summers where constant 100 degree heat buckled up some of the track).

So, I think I bought one of the first few issues, perhaps backdating to the very first one after I discovered it at my LHS.  I recall an article on N Scale of Nevada frames, for one, if that helps date my first copy.

So, we sort of grew up....or is that smaller?....together.  I have enjoyed it ever since 1990.

Congratulations Pamela!

[Pamela Clapp]

Thank you for sharing your stories and your kind words. I hope more of you will share how you got started in N scale. We've been doing this a long time and I'm so happy to be a part of it. I've met so many amazing modelers and friends over the years. Hopefully we can all get together again soon at swap meets and conventions this year.

May I ask why 3 years of print is $103 yet 3 years of digital is $114?  Single years are the same price at $38
