Model Train Journal

Buzz off, all of you.

Sage advice.

So now someone has to ruin a great thread with politics???

The fact that it has survived at all in such reasonable shape is amazing in its own right.

Agreed!

His photos (some of them, at least) are still up in the three-rail forum's "The Modelers Thread".

Actually, I think that it was the mailing department that put the stamp on the magazine!

Hmmm, I do not subscribe to OST, but if I did that would end it right there.

That is a significant difference!

There is an interesting thread about the possible future of nationals on OGR:

I recall seeing some shots of Roger's layout somewhere on this board! Probably under on the 3 Rail Forum. There was a short series of photos posted when I brought my MTH Flying Yankee to his layout and titled something like "A Flying Yankee Down In Dixie". EDIT: Unless it is buried in one...

My thoughts exactly! We were going to get together a third time for a big photo-shoot but covid interposed itself right at that time so it never happened. His layout was one of the nicest (that includes two-rail, btw) that I have had the chance to visit. I just wish that I had taken photos the times...

It looks like the draft gear was not installed properly to me.

At first I thought that the photo was taken in Toronto; note the trolley tracks. But the span wire-supported streetlights are not too common over here. I am thinking that it was taken somewhere in Europe.
