In order of longevity:

Model Railroader (also author)
N-Scale (also author)
N Scale Railroading
Model Railroad Hobbyist

There was a time - before I subscribed to N-Scale - that I got Railroad Model Craftsman for some years.  Just didn't care for it.

I now get Model Railroader digitally.  (Usually I read an issue in about 10 minutes, because of the low content).

I still get RMC in print.  (And it is also not what is was a few years ago.)

I get Model Railroader, but am probably going to end my subscription do to the lack of significant content.

I actually rely on Railwire posts to keep me updated with the current goings on. Mostly since MR seems like they could care less about N-scale.

None.

I have every issue of Model Railroad Planning and most of Great Model Railroads, however. Seems these annuals siphon off the content I used to look forward to in MR.

I will buy N Scale Railroading when it covers a neat layout or provides useful content.

I do look at MRH, the forums more than the "Magazine." Have not bothered with their video subscription Trainmasters thing.

I did receive the NTRAK Newsletter when I was active in a local NTRAK club.

Model Railroader, I can read in 5 minutes in my local Wal Mart - which carries Kalmbach pubs sometimes.

MR is all I get. Well I get MRH as well, but once I download and click through it I promtly delete. There isn't much in there that interests me. I rarely even stop at a page and look around.

None.

Have subscribed to MR off and on, and have a collection of issues dating back to late '40s. Don't find it very engaging anymore, and will probably never subscribe again. But I've indexed all my issues, and it's a solid resource.

I love what MRH is doing, but seldom make time for it.

I would consider the N mags if I had a chance to buy 'em over the counter, but I've never seen an issue.

Online, it used to be Atlas, Trainboard and here. Atlas is gone, I've lost my taste for Trainboard, and I've started wondering why I spend so much time here.

An interesting subject for the Crew Lounge.  :trollface:

Subscriptions:
Model Railroader (since around 1987)
N-Scale Magazine (since its inception)

This probably is not what you are looking for but also:
N-Trak (membership which includes newsletter since around 1988)

None, but I will pick up an issue of MR or RMC if I happen to be in Books A Million or Barnes and Noble and they have an article I want to own. Same goes for Model Railroad Hobbyist, I don't regularly read it but I do have a few issues saved to my computer.

I subscribe to MR and N-Scale.  I pick up N Scale Railroading (NSR) at the LHS.  I had a subscription almost continuously since 1976.  I've been with N-Scale and NSR since their beginnings.  no had a subscription to Trains, but dropped it. 

I may not renew my MR subscription when it comes up.  I get most of my info on line from here and Trainboard.
