Re: Australian Railway Magazines which is best

[telljb@ozemail.com.au (Tell)]

Railway Digest is very much towards NSW, but there is a
simple reason for this.  There are plenty of people in
that State with the interest to go out noting and
photographing rail events.

I remember years ago that Australian Model Railway
Magazine was pasted by some of it's readers for too
many NSW modelling articles.  The editor very quickly
pointed out that AMRM would welcome articles from any
where in Australia, and in fact begged readers in other
states to forward articles.  I would suspect that the
people behind Railway Digest would only be too happy to
publish items from the rest of Australia.

BTW Nic, Partyline is a great little mag.
