I am one who enjoys passenger train modeling AND operating. I believe passenger train operation is a neglected area of the operations scene. So... leave in the passenger train stuff!

For my two cents, I think it would be useful to have in-depth coverage of a particular industry and the steam era freight car traffic it generated. The RMC articles on the tractor manufacturing

Are how to modelling questions about cabooses allowed on this list? Specifically I have a question about lighting techniques (not prototype specific but a "how would you do this?" question).

As I am at present working on a HW Pullman and also have been referencing your RPC article, the answer to your question must be YES. So, thank you very much for your work and please keep it

This thread has been both interesting and very instructive. Although I too am very unhappy with the current direction of MR, I am also able to force myself to admit that the hobby needs to have some

I didn't know it was poor paper but RMC's look doesn't seem to be up to the same standard as MM. Gene Green titled "Toy moniker is

Here's what I do - I search the old magazines for articles on freight cars that I think are worth saving. BTW: many of those old articles are poorly researched, have drawings that are riddled with

I'm just curious, do any of you guys model passenger trains during the period of interest (God, I'm off subject, Mike - please forgive me for a second), especially since Branchline came out with some

All; Dennis Rockwell brought up an interesting point as input to my question(s) about what we could be doing better in TKM (or elsewhere, I guess), which I wanted to answer; and for feedback from

This plea comes up on the STMFC list with monotonous regularity, and has been made equally often to various manufacturers. The response invariably is that it would reduce sales. The argument is that
