N-SCALE MAGAZINE

Recently, we were notified by a large hobby shop in Maryland, that they will no longer carry N-Scale Magazine. Just as soon as I heard, I went online to locate other hobby shops in Maryland. I want to do everything I can to support N scale enthusiasts/modelers/hobbyists  on the east coast who are looking for N-Scale Magazine and want to support their local hobby shop. We have began to contact other hobby shops today in Maryland and all of them thus far have said they would love to carry N-Scale Magazine in their hobby shop. Please support them - Star Hobby in Annapolis, MD, Mike's Train Shop in Price Frederick, MD and Hobbytown USA in Frederick, MD. We will continue to add hobby shops to our growing list and ask that you please support them. We appreciate them all very much and couldn't do it without their support. Thank you.
And, if you know of a hobby shop in your area that doesn't carry N-Scale Magazine, please let us know and we will be sure and reach out. Let's continue to grow this wonderful hobby that we all love so much.

I was just in Star Hobby, and they have not received the N-Scale Magazines yet.  I asked, and they said they were coming.

Thank you for your support. We truly appreciate it. The January/February issue shipped November 30th. It is taking some time via USPS, but they are on their way or are already in your local hobby shop. We've also received hundreds of new subscriptions over the last few months, both print and digital. Thank you so much.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I suspect this "large hobby shop in Maryland" will no longer be in Maryland in the not too distant future ..

This same large hobby shop, now operating under its new international owners, seems to have stopped re-ordering Gold Medal Models N-scale products at about the same time they discontinued carrying N-Scale magazine. In the interest of fairness, maybe they're in the process of re-organizing their combined operations and will eventually return. To the best of my knowledge, no announcement was made either privately or publicly concerning the resumption of orders. Meanwhile, re-orders from Walthers and other dealers seem to be on the upswing, so N-scale is very likely going to be with us for a long time to come.
