White River Productions adds pages to its two flagship publications, Railfan & Railroad and Railroad Model Craftsman!

Thanks to growing support from subscribers and advertisers, White River Productions has announced two of the hobby’s leading monthly magazines are getting even bigger. Beginning with the June issue, Railroad Model Craftsman increased to 108 pages on a permanent basis. For the November, December, and January issues, RMC will grow to 116 pages to make room for even more modeling content during the busy winter holiday season. Sister publication Railfan & Railroad will increase to 92 pages beginning with the January 2027 issue. Best of all, these added pages come with no increase in cover price.

The additional pages will allow both magazines to present more of the in-depth features, outstanding photography, timely news, and regular departments readers look forward to each month. The larger issues provide greater flexibility to showcase new contributors, broaden subject coverage, and give deserving stories the space they need. The expansion also reflects strong support from across the railroad enthusiast and model railroad industries. Advertisers increasingly recognize Railroad Model Craftsman and Railfan & Railroad as trusted places to reach active, engaged audiences, while readers are responding to the depth, variety, and quality of the content in each issue. Together, that growing support is helping both magazines deliver even more value each month.

White River Productions continues its investment in high-quality print magazines and the communities they serve. Strong reader loyalty, growing subscriptions, and increased advertiser participation have made it possible to deliver more content while maintaining current cover prices and subscription rates. Get on board and enjoy these great publications delivered to your door each month!
