Our Newsletter

You have enjoyed our websites - now prepare to enjoy the brightest new journal that money can buy!


The O27 Hot Rail and Toy Soldier News is a new hobby journal bringing you the best of two worlds.  Both O27 and plastic toy soldier collecting are featured here, getting the complete recognition that's been missing for a long time.  The O27 Hot Rail & Toy Soldier News isfocused on providing information, news, stories and contacts for those who want to enjoy their hobbies more.  We are committed to serving both O27 and the plastic soldier collector, yet that is not all.  You will find, as we go along, even more to satisfy you.  Our hope is to cover more of the things that interest you, and help you save money in enjoying your hobbies.

The newsletter also allows us to address things that would be impractical to do on our websites.  We can really cover the field here!  And, since its materials will be guided by reader feedback, the newsletter will be interactive and evolving to better serve the readership.

The first issue is almost ready to go to press, and will have over 40 pages of articles, news and information.  Subscribers will get 5 issues in 2000.  Should the market bear it, we might expand to bi-monthly or, in case of a miracle, monthly issues.  Whatever happens, you can rest assured that The O27 Hot Rail & Toy Soldier News will be a vibrant, original source of good news and good information.
