Peco should take a leaf out of MIBA and Eisenbahn Journal's book, and produce archive DVDs.
To see what I mean, and check out the very reasonable prices, go to the VGB website.
I scanned my 1979-2008 Continental Modeller collection, initially just intending to cover pure German material and produce .pdf files for my own reference.
In the event, about the only things I did not scan and archive were some of the Australian and African prototype material. Some of the Aussie layouts were fantastic, well worth keeping a record.
I freed up about three metres of shelf space, the original magazines went to the club, and articles are much easier to find.
