Just wondering, how many of you look at this section of the "O" Gauge Magazine?

I don't look at it with every issue, but have used it in the past. I did notice in the current issue a placement for a shop that has been shuttered for a number of years. I believe III Rail Trains in Coon Rapids, MN, gave-up the ghost in 2010 or so.
If the reaction to seeing Jim Sutter's store in the most recent issue of OGR is any indication, DRH is read by a LOT of folks!
When I prepared the DRH list for run 273, I accidentally uploaded an older file to our pre-press house for use in the magazine. That list contained the ad for Jim's store, but he retired and closed the store many months ago!
I got almost a dozen emails, a forum thread was started and I even got a phone call from Jim himself asking me if I had resurrected his old store. The listing for III Rail Trains is also a result of using an older file. I sure won't make that mistake again!
Yes...I think people read Dealer Roundhouse quite closely!
You had me wondering "what the heck?"

Publications make Bo Bo's from time to time. I got a call from my friend Ramon he said , Have I read the latest TTOS monthly newsletter? I said no I just got it and it is right in front of me. He said go to page#11 and read the obituary section. I preceded to look at it and to my surprise I found out I had gone to the great round house in the sky, It was a very nice obituary, very kind words. Now I had to ask my wife to read it, her comment was "The life insurance policy is current right"? A week later my wife got a sympathy card. Everyone had a good time with it at AGHR.
Stuff happens as they say.
So Jim, while we got U here, can I get the PS3 UP Challenger Grey w/ yellow stripes w/ scale wheels, and the PS3 D&H U boat w/ scale wheels and the.....
Engineer Joe, if I was still in business I would try to get you whatever you wanted. Plus I would try to sale you something else too.
Yeap. I'd be mad for a couple of minutes after and then be grateful.
Why not come out of retirement and make a lot of people
happy?��
