Ray: We'll have both video and non video. And coming soon, you'll be able to "flip" through selected pages of an issue (virtually).

Will there be links to the advertisers????  That's the first thing I do with the mag, look at the adds and hit all their websites to see what is new that I cannot live without.

A reprint of each of the first year's mags included with the regular issues would be better. Help bring some of us newbies to LS up to speed. (We could get a better idea of what's being offered on eBay.)

Off the subject, but... eBay is reported to have laid off 15% of its staffing?

Too late an idea, but years ago when Mad Magazine had a major anniversary, for a year they included in each regular subscriptions a reprint copy of the very first year of Mad. A reprint of the very first issue of GR would be a really cool and  interesting contrast to the mag today.

   Have fun with your trains

We at GR will be celebrating our 25th anniversary with the December issue. To celebrate, there will be a larger issue (with more how-to stories) and lots of online extras. Subscribers will get even more online extras!

Plus, new to GR, we will start previewing issues with VIDEO! Editor Marc Horovitz will discuss a few of the upcoming stories for that issue. The preview for the December issue will be live in just a few days, so stay tuned for this and other updates (including a video with yours truly in it)!
