Hello everyone. Am new here and realised that this is an old thread. Just wanted to share that your posts have been really helpful. I purchased a K27 (Green boiler jacket / 455) recently and had this

A note of caution: R&R does not correct even its most egregious mistakes, therefore establishing in print an unreliable source. Take it with a grain or even a tablespoon of salt. White

Specialist magazines rely heavily on advertising income to cover their costs. The pagination is an indicator of ad income - the lower the pagination, the smaller the income. If the advert/ editorial

Same here. I use to be so proud of my collections of magazines that I kept in binders. I had MRR, RMC, Gazette, SLIM Gauge News, Timber Times, Timber Beast, a couple hundred hard and soft backs, and

Like you Russ, I've trimmed my magazine subscriptions back to the Gazette and the historical society publications that interest me (and that I choose to support).  In addition, I subscribe to MRH,

I have always felt that MR geared a lot of its articles to beginners in the hobby, while RMC seemed to have more for the experienced modeler. That was the main reason I dropped my subscription to MR.

I just discovered that my MR subscription entitles me to virtually nothing online at Clambake. How many website references in my precious 64 pages of MR are useless without trains.com? Instead of my

I wouldn't get too excited yet. They have the web site with all the back issues on there. That's a big driver for them. The cost of a subscription is worth it (IMHO) for the amount of material there.

I was in Railroad Hobbies hobby shop in Roseville last week, and while visiting the magazine rack, compared the current issue of "Model Railroader" with the current issue of "Railroad Model Craftsman"

I really want some USG plaster city WP diesels. I have the psc kit for the one you modeled there in 3d but I wanted the upated wide cab version so i was going to try cutting up plastic cabs and make

Gonna have to keep an eye out for that article. Sounds like a future project ( or three! ). Art

The Wuiske Models are pretty easy to convert from HOn3.5 to Hon3. Takes about 10 or 15 minutes. Mike May and I have an article submitted to The Gazette a couple of months ago on models we both

Zach, From your business base of HO standard gauge customers, I can see where you might think narrow gauge modeling is in a decline, but that isn't the case. I do agree with your comment about not

The Wuiske diesels are nice but pretty expensive to experiment with, plus they represent heavy mainline service. If you were looking for heavy power, it would be cheaper to go this route: Paul

Mark, I must admit I am not well educated on the subject. I have been doing commercial model building work for about 5 years now and almost everything I'm commissioned for is HO standard gauge. When

This was mentioned, mostly about the fact someone is making them. I've seen the Shapeways ones as well, although I haven't bought one. Art

Zack Pabis, In your post above, regarding your building of WP&Y diesel units in HOn3...why did you say...."With waning interest for narrow gauge stuff ".....????? What waning interest? Where did

Very nice looking models, and that's forma steam guy! What parts were needed to make the changes you made? Dave

I built and sold 38 NG diesels converted from Bachmann 70t std. ga. models w/DCC and LED reversible lighting using a NWSL kit. Some had sound as well. The detail was very good and they ran very well.
