We worked with graphic designer and model railroader Scott
        
        
          Thornton earlier this year to give MRH an updated look –
        
        
          including the major change of a new “MRH Shield” masthead
        
        
          logo. The old Model Railroad Hobbyist Magazine stylized text
        
        
          logo will be around too; we won’t abandon it completely.
        
        
          The new look changes go from cover to cover, with everything
        
        
          being given a new look. This change also enables what we’re
        
        
          calling our new “Gen3” format of the magazine.
        
        
          Starting with the January 2015 issue, MRH will also be available
        
        
          in a reflowable ePub (Apple iBooks and many web browser
        
        
          plugins like Readium can read this) as well as the Amazon
        
        
          Kindle format. This means you can read MRH on any device
        
        
          and it will reformat the page to fit the device screen. You can
        
        
          also make the font as large as you need for easy reading.
