Gentlemen,
On behalf of the ACL-SAL Railroads Historical Society, I'm pleased to announce that the Society will be offering an on-line modeling magazine similar to the PRR T&HS's "The Keystone Modeler". The magazine will be called "The Seaboard-Coast Line Modeler" and will cover prototype modeling of SAL, ACL, SCL, Family Lines, GA RR, WofA, A&WP, Seaboard System, and other affiliated lines in all eras and scales. The quarterly magazine will be an official publication of the Society, and like TKM will be provided free of charge on the ACL-SAL Historical Society web page. The S-CL Modeler will follow the popular format of TKM, but unlike TKM we're initially planning on a quarterly publication (unless we can reasonably offer it more often). I will serve as editor of the magazine. Justin May will serve as Assistant Editor. Selection of the magazine's editorial staff and regular column editors is underway. I am currently soliciting articles for the first issue, which I hope to publish in 45-60 days. All articles on modeling freight cars, locomotives, right-of-way, structures, fixtures, operations, etc. are welcome. As in TKM, the inclusion of prototype photos, drawings, etc. is highly encouraged with your articles, and since there is no size limit to the articles or the S-CL Modeler magzine you may include as many photos and/or drawings as you feel is appropriate. You do not need to be a member of the society to contribute. Unfortunately, like TKM, we can not pay for articles and they must be considered gratis (no payment or perks is provided to staff). Our goal is to grow the modeling community by sharing information, providing an open forum for the detailed study of the prototype, and providing in-depth prototype-oriented modeling articles. Your expert knowledge and modeling experience, tranformed into in-depth articles, will help build the modeling community and introduce modelers and historians to the Society and the railroads it represents. I'll announce the regular staff in about two weeks. Until then, we need to get the ball rolling. If you'd like to submit an article or if you'd like to discuss submitting an article, please contact me at Golden1014@.... There's much more to follow about the magazine in coming months. Our sincere thanks to Al Buchan of the PRR T&HS for helping us get this project off the ground. Yours Very Truly, John Golden Justin May John Golden O'Fallon, IL http://www.pbase.com/golden1014 |

Guys, I wish you luck, and hope you have good success like that TKM has had. It's always nice to see the different groups helping each other out, even if they don't agree as to their favorite subject modelling-wise. Tim Barney |

Thanks Elden. If I can get close to the quality of TKM, we'll be
doing well. Al Buchan is an old friend of mine and he got me all set up with the documents--all we need now are writers. TKM is just terrific--I look forward to it more than I do MR. I've just completed my X29B per the TKM, Dec 06 and it came out great (mandatory STMFC list content).
