Check out great new magazine!

Drats...  My work computer won't let me read it and I don't have the authorizations to upgrade the software.

 

It'll have to wait until tonight.

 

*Sigh*  might as well get some work done...

John, thanks for alerting us. I looked it over and it is nicely done. Not to mention the price. I will certainly read it cover to cover. 

 

I like the cover but what a shame what they did to that Rock Island engine and to think I used to ride behind one like it when it was in commuter service from Joliet to Chicago.

Well, John ol' boy.  I'm officially jealous.  Your railroad sure puts my lil' ol' plywood glacier to shame.  Congratulations!

 

This issue is a great start.  I'm also glad to see in their editorial that they won't exclude the hirail folks. That's something the some of previous "S Scale" magazines didn't want to really acknowledge.  Good S modeling should be highlighted, regardless of flange dept.

 

S hirail, in my opinion, is like the 3-rail scale crowd in O.  Take advantage both sides of the coin, as it were.  Might make the scale in general more attractive to some fence-sitters.

Thanks for the heads up. And your layout looks great.

Cal, I knew I'd get a Rock Island fan or two.  I actually much preferred their maroon and yellow.
Thanks guys for your kind words but I dont hold a candle to most of the S scale I've seen.

Excellent New On Line Magazine • "The S Scale Resource"

Like the story about the Southeastern Michigan S Gaugers.

The Cover 

I smell a "delete" button being pushed in the near future...

 

Which ones?  The written ones or the unwritten ones?

The magazine and your layout looks great.

I liked the weathering job on the RS3.

 

The news about allowing highrail is welcome because I've been crusading to have an S scale magazine include quality highrail as well as scale. Modern highrail has set new standards for realism.

I agree. 

 

Some of the boys on Yahoo are always against anything that's not 100% true S scale.  I always remind them the Brooks Stover's BC&G is Hirail.  Then I usually hear the sound of crickets.

 

S Scale ignores HiRail at it's peril.
