I must say, the staff of GR has outdone themselves with this issue; I've subscribed for years and have nearly every issue since inception, and without a doubt this most recent issue has got to be the BEST YET.  The amount of short, reader-submitted "How-To" articles are outstanding, and the recent inclusion of Reader Tips & Tricks is just fabulous!  And of course I thoroughly enjoyed Dave Goodson's centerpiece spread.

 Well done!

As a side note, I really enjoyed the previous issue's centerpiece on the Irish narrow-gauge garden railway; what a gorgeous layout!

It was a lot of fun doing this with Marc.
Lotta work, but I think what they did with the raw data is very, very good.
I was happy that Marc didn't argue with me about headlights, too!
The quality of the photos is much, much better than I could have done with my little camera.

Thanks, GR!

Great job Dave!  That is a beautiful layout you have, and I really like the meanings behind all the place names ("Bigfoot Grocery:" ROFL!!!).

Mine was in the mail box last Friday.  Now that you brought it up, it does seem to be a few days early.
