Does anyone know if the index of mr magazines is still active,I used to be able to find when and which issue articles were published and then track down an issue for reference but today I was unable to find magazine index.Maybe they dropped this as the DVD came out.

Kalmbach still has theirs up, though I don't think they update it for other magazines like RMC anymore.



I think there are others out there also.

I found an index at this url:

I remember that the NMRA also had an index of all RR mags, and found this:

Then I found this:

Which seems to be saying the index went away in 2010, basically because it was written in MS-DOS.

It was not written in ms-dos.

It was a custom database written by someone for his own purposes which eventually became available online.? Kalmbach was hosting it, but the database became a liability due to security problems, which if breached, would compromise the entire Kalmbach network. So they shut it down.? Eventually it became available again.

In the meantime a group of volunteers went to work to try and modernize the database and make it available again, the NMRA was involved to a degree, but I am not sure of exactly what became of that effort. Since it was a custom database, it took a lot of work to figure out how it worked and stored its records, so that it could possibly be converted to another database program to make support easier. It could be that all those efforts have been merged into the one database that is under the NMRA banner right now.

Thank you for the links for somereason I couldn't find it a few weeks back I had no problem,getting old I guess
