My wife Connie wrote an article, including photos, that was published in the NMRA Magazine (June 2020)
I was flabbergasted when I opened the NMRA National Magazine today AUGUST 2020 EDITION.
A Mr. George Pandelios wrote assertively requesting to see more fabulous 3 rail layouts besides the Glacier Line.
He mentioned Norm Charbonneau, Neal Schorr and my second favorite railroad: Bob Bartizek's horseshoe curve!!!! Layout.
Yes 3 rail layouts can be and are equally as impressive and realistic as 2 rail models of course depending upon the individual layouts. But we already knew that didn't we?
Now can we convince Kalmbach Publishing Company of that and actually see a 3 rail layout on the pages of great model railroads?
I tried that once and it fell flat on its face. I will be attempting it again in the future. There is a new editor.
Was so glad to see 3 rail get overdue recognition.
Lastly, in the nmra Achievement program (Master Model Railroader) I have 3 certificates of the 7 required in my possession. I have been in the NMRA 2 years.
I have two others completed and will be turning in the paperwork soon. That will be 5 of 7.
I am attempting to become the 2nd ever 3 rail modeler to achieve the distinction of Master Model Railroader.
Lots left remaining to do!!!
STRIKING A BLOW FOR 3 RAIL!!!
