I'm not claiming the MR is a bad magazine nor am I trying to flame them. This issue on a grade scale compared to their normal is a C-. If my high school students handed me this issue I would think they rushed it and just did it to get it done. I am talking about this issue and this issue only . If more issues come out of this quality then there may be a problem. The MR staff should know that their subscribers notice filler and fluff. MR covers a good range for a wide spectrum of skill levels. That is not a problem either. Even the most experienced modeler can find something and go "oh really hmmm". Out of the same issue I really liked the Warehouse on a curve article and the change of scenery article. The passenger trains on a budget missed it's point . It had nothing to do with budget! It spent time on how to make generic cars look like other cars. This would fit any price level. I guess it depends on your budget . Modelers have the same problems wether they are on a budget or not. As for the tool article, as soon as children get their Fisher Price tool kits they know what a hammer is and what to do with it. It doesn't take much longer to figure out screw drivers, drills and what a 40 watt soldering iron are for.. When you start building your layout most people know what they at least basically need. That's the nice thing about this hobby. You can get as exotic as you want or keep it simple. The gizmo article was better from a couple of issues back. MR from time to time shows these tools in action and how to use them properly. That is much better. <br /> <br />RMax
