How about old tips? I have not learned anything new for years... I've sent a number of them to you before.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

Marty:

Just because you learned it years ago, does not mean I've learned it yet. Yes I too have submitted a little one.

     I am always learning something new. Even older ideas could have a different way of being explained as we don't all understand things the same way.                              When one better understands the smaller things, the bigger things become less   intimidating. I look forward to these submissions.  Regards, Dennis.

 I am new to this hobby and I search this site for tips and ideas all the time planning or trying to figure out my next step. Any tips out there, new or old are mostly new to me.

Marty, like Tom said, a tip is a tip, old or new. Just because it's old to you doesn't mean it's not new to someone else.

Only one photo and 100 words or less? Yall aren't looking for very detailed tips are you? I have a great how to on how to paint clouds and sky, but those limitations are a bit much. I understand about magazine space and all, but darn.

So Rene, I guess there's no reconsideration for the size of the article?

Gear, This is a general guideline. If you have a really good tip and a few more photos, by all means, send it in. The length of the column in the magazine won't be set in stone, so if it's a longer tip, it's a bigger space we need to fill.
