[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by KenLarsen</i> <br /><br />I would like to see articles about some modular clubs, in ALL scales. Those huge layouts are gorgeous, but I want to see more of what is within reach of the 'common man'. <br /> <br />There is an excellent modular HO club in my area (the FCSME, not exactly sure what the 'FC' part stands for) that always sets up at the Great Scale Train Show every 3 months in Timonium, MD. Would it be too much trouble to send an MR photographer to such an event so readers throughout the world could see more of these community-effort layouts? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />This may be classified as "ancient news", but MR did a cover article on our local HO scale modular club layout way back in June of 1989. It was my article and most of my photos. <br /> <br />Also as I undestand it, MR does not regularly send photographers out in the field to do such articles. Most are submitted by MR readers. MR does commission articles by such photographers as Lou Sassi and probably others, but they are not staff photographers. <br /> <br />So if you want your local club or whatever in MR, prepare an article and send it in yourself. Or find someone in your group who can do the photos. They are the most critical aspect of any magazine article. MR says they can fix up your writing but can't do much with less than suitable photos. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
