Cultural Impact
Collecting back issues of Model Railroader and similar magazines is a popular sub-hobby among model railroad enthusiasts. Hobbyists who only read the magazine are sometimes called "armchair model railroaders."
The model train hobbyists the magazine has profiled over the years include a number of celebrities, including Michael Gross, Rod Johnston (husband of cartoonist Lynn Johnston), Gary Coleman, and Rod Stewart.
Model Railroader also has several other "sister" magazines, also published by Kalmbach, including such titles as Trains magazine, Classic Trains, Garden Railways, and Classic Toy Trains. They are often advertised in Model Railroader, and on occasion, an article will refer to these other magazines.
The magazine is published under ISSN 0026-7341. Individual issues use the UPC 074820085486.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or impact:
“The men who are messing up their lives, their families, and their world in their quest to feel man enough are not exercising true masculinity, but a grotesque exaggeration of what they think a man is. When we see men overdoing their masculinity, we can assume that they haven’t been raised by men, that they have taken cultural stereotypes literally, and that they are scared they aren’t being manly enough.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
