Although that site does not provide a complete index of Culotta's
"Essential Freight Cars" articles, I may consider having someone bookmark it for me later on. Rob Simpson --- In STMFC@..., "benjaminfrank_hom" <b.hom@...> wrote: searchable." are too lazy to use it. |

Rob Simpson asked:
"Where could I find an index of the Essential Freight Cars articles? RMC issue #, subject, etc? RMC's back issue index isn't searchable." You can also go to http://index.mrmag.com and do an author search on "Culotta, Ted". It's a great resource, and far too many people are too lazy to use it. Ben Hom |

I presume that the rights to Ted's articles belong to Carstens.<Al, To my understanding Ted retains the rights to a book. I think someone also also said that. Jon Miller AT&SF For me time stopped in 1941 Digitrax, Chief/Zephyr systems, JMRI user NMRA Life member #2623 Member SFRH&MS |

Elden,
Speaking for myself, I currently am reluctant to send anymore material to Carstens for publication since it's been a year since I've been paid for the last item of mine that was published. Henry Carstens has been remarkably silent to my numerous inquiries as to when I might expect payment for my efforts. I know that I'm not the only contributor whho has not been paid in a timely manner and I believe we are all of the same opinion about further submissions until the outstanding bills are paid.

Ted retains all rights to the Essential FC articles. He told me if his
"Things-to-do" pile ever dwindles, he will probably publish a compilation.

All;
Given the most positive response to Clark's article and model, Ted's past articles and models, and Ted's future constraints, were any of you planning on picking up part of that ball and running with it in RE to Bill S's response/plea?

Few can! I was browsing through some past RMC's a week or two ago and came upon the first article in Ted's series. Can't remember the exact number, but the projection was for only twenty or so total articles. The most recent one is #40! When Ted started these he was "between assignments", as we say, and had the time and motivation to put real effort into them. Since then he has moved from CA to CT, started Speedwitch Models, produced a whole bunch of patterns for resin casting, found a willing and talented resin caster to produce his models and brought them to market, published a couple of books and two (so far) world class modeling periodicals, and travels annually to a number of prototype modelers meets and shows where he both sells amd presents clinics, all the while trying to maintain some semblance of normal family life. As far as I'm concerned, the last dozen RMC articles are pure bonus, and when the series ends I'll be grateful for what Ted has given us and not grumble that there won't be more.... Tom Madden |

Jared ( and others),
Mark me down as another modeler who started taking RMC simply because of Ted's articles. I consider myself a beginner as far as resin is concerned, but the wealth of knowledge imparted makes me know that I can build in this medium also......although maybe never on the level of Ted.
