I responded to the Trackside Photos thread and can put forth the same concept here as well. This is just my own personal, very personal, opinion. I am not trying to start an argument or trash anyone's ideas. But I do not feel MR is more basic in that sense, I would rather refer to it as more generic. The staff used to be model railroaders putting out a magazine. Today, the staff are all journalism forlks. The rag has come of age with modern formating and glitzy presentations. The grunt detail articles are gone, quite possibly because there are few of us who build our own stuff anymore. This is the age of buy it and run it. I still belong to the age of build it, super detail it, redo it, change the trucks, rebuild someone elses mistake and on and on. People like me have become dinosaurs in the hobby. MR is just addressing the direction the hobby is headed. I do think MR is still the best in the hobby, but it no longer leads the field in a dominant fashion as it did years ago. Again, just my opinion. <br /> <br />You can't cook a hotdog with diesel exhaust. <br /> <br />Tom
