I have gotten a number of tips from older issues of MR dating back to the late 70's and early 80's. <br />These include using the bonded ballast method for adhearing the roadbed material as well as scenery material,making wooden grade crossings plus I have gotten some good ideas for small structures like a repair shed from an old boxcar and a sand tower which I have incorperated in my current switching layout which is now under construction. Althought I agree that some techniques are no longer practiced, some can updated to todays standards.Back then I was in awe of people like Bill McClanahan,Malcolm Furlow,Dave Frary,Bob Hayden,John Allen and others for what they gave to the hobby. Granted much has changed but we can all learn from what these people did and I think it is still possible to incorperate some of their techniques into todays model railroads. Bob
