Stolen by aliens perhaps?  Think about it, any civilization advanced enough to have interstellar travel would no doubt have a very sophisticated interest garden railroads, so naturaly any plans in GRR mag would be of intense interest to an extraterrestrial.  No?  Well, if anybody else has a logical idea......

SandyR,

I've been meaning to post a message about this. Ted Stinson, who designs the plans, has had health problems in the last year (which is why we re-ran some of the old ones recently). He told us that he will only be drawing three plans per year instead of six.

We will be meeting here at Kalmbach soon to discuss how to fill the "gap" when there are no plans.

Sorry for the confusion.

Just as a suggestion, maybe you could fill the void with articles on micro layouts with Gn15 or 7/8th scale.  - Peter
