Changes at OST

Postby sarge » Sat Apr 28, 2018 6:53 am

Gents:

As things have been transitioning, its become clear that its time for me to retire from editing OST, and stand aside with Jaini to really let it develop as the new owners envision. This week I "handed it in", and Martin is at the helm, now.

Everyone as readers, subscribers, and advertisers have my most sincere thanks. Keep sending Marty material. Its your mag; support it and help it grow.

Meanwhile, I, for the first time in a very long time, get to be "just another O Scaler" (and can work on my health a bit, too).

Rather than be surprised when the next issue drops through your letterbox...

Sarge,

I will miss your acerbic wit at the end of each issue. Good luck with the health, the golden years are not so much.

Sarge,

Sorry to hear this. I always enjoyed your columns in the early issues of OST. Good luck in your new pursuits and keep modeling.

I will remember Sarge for all of the above reasons also.
But what I remember most is that he guts enough to publish articles about several beautiful three rail also in OST.
Try to have some fun, Sarge.

The seat is rather hot and discomforting to occupy. Send lawyers, guns and money. Better yet, send me your articles.

Brian is also only a 100 miles from me and may be in small portions willing to provide guidance, advice, and penguins.

It's all about trains...and after a lifetime full of them...you'll find traction. Don't step on a penguin... :)

I hope the new owners don't make too many changes.
The combination of staff and other writers were what kept OST interesting for an old 3 Rer.
The articles on building stuff were outstanding as were the ones concerning model history.
I hope the reviews stay as honest as they were and not be influenced by advertisers.
I understand the physical problems that Sarge has can certainly make any job harder.
Good luck to Martin.

Maybe going forward we can get some of the guest commentaries you did, before going full time with OST? As pointed out above, your wit, outlook and humor was always appreciated and enjoyed.
