hey deschane - I'll make this brief - point well taken (guess I'm just got all this pent up energy after a ten year absence from the hobby.) My comments weren't meant to be hyper critical but an observation from my perspective as a reader of MR since approx 1950 when I started looking at my Dad's MRs. I want MR to be around at least as long as I am and hope that it listens to real time comments from its fans and supporters, and I consider myself one of them, or I wouldn't have taken the time to submit my thoughts. I've always considered MR the premier model railroading magazine and measure other modeling magazines against MR. I wasn't trying to be "ungrateful "by using a media paid for by Kalmbach to criticize them with, and it certainly wasn't "belly-aching" either. I have always expected the best out of MR, anticipated every issue, and have almost every annual and speciality publlication they've done. But my humble opinion is that they either have slipped up a bit or are catering to a different segment of the hobby as of late, as I expressed in my earlier post. (FYI deschane - I'm a tool guy too and subscribe to half a dozen magazines - and yes, I too find something useful in each one of them as I do in MR every issue. Yet , there is one of those that I hold on a pedestal and have come to appreciate the very best effort out of that publication in each issue.
