Chris,
I have always heard them referred to as a "blueline" and yes Hundman does,
Randy Lee does, and RMC does.

Hundman still does; Bill Schuamburg at Railroad Model Craftsman does as
well.

Unless they've changed their policy, RMJ does NOT do this. I've
authored a few articles and the first I've seen is a "comp" copy of
the issue in which the article appeared. Although they used the
articles word for word, the one I did on a friend's layout was
divided into 3 separate articles in the same issue and in the
process, they introduced a few errors. When I wrote in about the
errors they even got the correction wrong!

Mainline Modeler and Model Railoading currently send paper proof - not digital - copies to the author. These are actual copies of the finished article with the text, photos, and drawings in place as it will appear in print. The author is asked to make any needed changes and return ASAP.

The comp copy was the first I saw of the last thing I submitted to RMJ. And I pity anyone who tried to make the same freight car, out of the kit the article's new subtitle referred to!

I have always heard them referred to as a "blueline" and yes Hundman does,Bluelines were far more common with books than with magazines, and they are dodgy to send to an author anyway, as they fade rapidly and dramatically in bright light. Nowadays, there are very few printers who send a genuine blueline, and even so, the need for a magazine to send copies to multiple authors would probably put you into Xerox territory anyway.
Randy Lee does, and RMC does.
