Thanks Dan, from all of us who couldn't attend. MM was my 1st O show back in 93 and holds a special place for me. Hope someone can find a way to keep it rolling.

I also just wanted to say your online publication has filled the hole left when Joe passed on from OST. Great publication!!!!!!

Thanks,

BH

Contrary to popular rumor, OST never stopped publishing......

Yep and I just re-subscribed after a 4-5 year hiatus. But, the cost of putting out a 100+- page magazine, the way it was in the 'Joe" days is prohibitive today. I miss the old venue, but understand things have really changed in the publishing game and we are fortunate OST is still with us, unlike many train publications of the past. I know due to attrition there are fewer modelers who submit articles and my hat is off to You and Kevin. While waiting for my subscription to take hold I ordered a copy of the Sept/Oct issue (last publication to my knowledge) and the heavy glossy pages was certainly a surprise.

Just happy there is enough life left in O scale to support 2 publications. :)

Thank you for your support!!!

Most pages it ever was looking at my set of issues is 72. I suspect more would be possible with more advertisers.

Look at the issue number - Sept/Oct was #105 - we're on #108 as the current issue. You're 3 issues behind!

Keeps me hopping!

Wow! When I went online to see what could be purchased, it showed #105 as the last issue available. Maybe the later issues have sold out...I don't know. I thought it odd the last "published" issue was almost 6 months ago.
