<p><i><b>Model Railroader</b></i> (<i><b>MR</b></i>) is an American <a href="Magazine" title="Magazine">magazine</a> about the hobby of <a href="Model_railroading" class="mw-redirect" title="Model railroading">model railroading</a>. Founded in 1934 by <a href="Al_C._Kalmbach" title="Al C. Kalmbach">Al C. Kalmbach</a>, it is published monthly by Firecrown Media of <a href="Chattanooga%2C_Tennessee" title="Chattanooga, Tennessee">Chattanooga, Tennessee</a>. Commonly found on newsstands and in libraries, it promotes itself as the oldest magazine of its type in the United States, although it is the long-standing competitor to <i><a href="Railroad_Model_Craftsman" title="Railroad Model Craftsman">Railroad Model Craftsman</a>,</i> which - originally named <i>The Model Craftsman</i> - predates MR by one year.

</p><p><i>MR</i> is considered to be a general-interest hobby magazine, appealing to a wide range of hobbyists, rather than specializing in a particular scale, or facet of the hobby (such as prototype operations or <a href="Scratch_building" title="Scratch building">scratch building</a> and <a href="Kitbashing" title="Kitbashing">kitbashing</a>). <i>Model Railroader</i> covers a variety of scales and modeling techniques for engines, rolling stock, right-of-way, structures, and scenery. It reviews products including ready-to-run models as well as kits, tools and supplies. The magazine presents blueprints and photographs of prototype equipment, as well as photographs of models and layouts.

</p><p>A longstanding philosophy of modeling is manifest in its editorial features of layout design and operation, in which the model is viewed as a three-dimensional and temporal compression of the real world, so that, for example, the motive power, freight, trackage and scenery of a real-world railroad are formed into a layout which captures the spirit of not only the equipment and region of the railroad but also its purpose and how it operates.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p><i>The Model Railroader</i> began publication in the summer of 1933, with a cover date of January 1934. A press release announcing the magazine appeared in August 1933, but did not receive much interest. The bank refused to loan Kalmbach any money, many felt sorry for him, and a few told him he was crazy.

</p><p>His first wife, Bernice, herself a journalist, encouraged and helped Al put <i>The Model Railroader</i> together. Though they originally saw it as a sideline business to their commercial printing operations, soon they were devoting seven days a week to the venture.

</p><p>The magazine was well received by model railroaders, and the young publisher carried the entire first press run (272 copies) by <a href="Tram" title="Tram">streetcar</a> to be mailed. By July 1934, paid circulation exceeded 1,000 copies. Growth continued, but the magazine was not an immediate success. The magazine became profitable after three years. It took Kalmbach seven years to pay off the loans used to launch the magazine.

</p><p><a href="World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> introduced paper rationing, which dampened the growth of the Kalmbach Publishing Company. At the end of the war, MR's circulation was 18,000.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> 1949, MR's circulation had grown to 82,000. 1950, MR's circulation had grown to 104,000, thanks in part to a boom in interest in model railroading. As of 2007, the magazine had a monthly paid circulation of more than 160,000.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> 2017 the year's final issue garnered a reported circulation figure that fell below 100,000.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The magazine, and Kalmbach Publishing (later <a href="Kalmbach_Media" title="Kalmbach Media">Kalmbach Media</a>), celebrated its 85th anniversary in 2019.

</p><p>The magazine had to relocate 4 times, the original location was on 545 S. 84th Street (now a car wash) and later relocated to 1027 N. 7th Street (now part of <a href="Milwaukee_Public_Television" class="mw-redirect" title="Milwaukee Public Television">Milwaukee Public Television</a> and <a href="Milwaukee_Area_Technical_College" title="Milwaukee Area Technical College">Milwaukee Area Technical College</a>), from 1989 to 2024, they moved to 21027 Crossroads Circle in nearby Waukesha and in 2024, Kalmbach recently sold their building to Silgan Containers and the staff moving to nearby <a href="Brookfield%2C_Wisconsin" title="Brookfield, Wisconsin">Brookfield, Wisconsin</a>.

</p><p>Another thing <i>Model Railroader </i>had was their own model railroad layout, the <b>Milwaukee, Racine and Troy</b>, which was located on the second floor of the Kalmbach Media offices in Waukesha (the original was located on the 3rd floor of the old offices at 1027 N. 7th Street which was in operation from 1975 to 1989<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>).

</p><p>In May 2024, longtime publisher <a href="Kalmbach_Media" title="Kalmbach Media">Kalmbach Media</a> divested of Model Railroader and other railroad interest magazines to publisher Firecrown Media.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Milwaukee, Racine and Troy model railroad was demolished when Kalmbach sold their building at 21027 Crossroads Circle and moved to Brookfield, Wisconsin, following the magazine's purchase by Firecrown media.
