Which magazine was published first, Naval History or Model Railroader?
Model Railroader Model Railroader (MR) is an American magazine about the hobby of model railroading. Founded in 1934 by Al C. Kalmbach, it is published monthly by Kalmbach Publishing of Waukesha, Wisconsin. 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 "Railroad Model Craftsman," which - originally named "The Model Craftsman" - predates MR by one year.
Port Erin Breakwater Railway The Port Erin Breakwater Railway was a construction line built in Port Erin on the Isle of Man in 1863 and had the distinction of being the first steam railway on the island, as well as the only Broad Gauge (7' 1/4")line. The locomotive was named Henry Brougham Loch after the then lieutenant governor of the island. Some photographs exist of the construction and locomotive but it is not known what became of any of the stock and assumed that it was returned to the UK upon completion of the project.
