Lots of rail layouts photos......... Underdeck photos of how different switch machines etc. are hooked up..
More photos, close up photos of track and of rolling equipment, less talk, to many articles go on and on.....
My humble opinion.......... I like PHOTOS

I learn from the visuals, so more photos and less talk

I developed my love of trains growing up and witnessing the final 18 years of British steam. Pretty much everything in MR is quite unfamiliar but very intriguing and I look forward to every issue.

Seeing the way foreigners do things has been for me a great source of enjoyment and education. I would think that North American modelers might also enjoy the unfamiliar and a series on model railways from around the world would be great fun.

N scale small room plans - L shaped corner and HO versions
Always liked the electronics articles, schematics in past issues, Jan 04 too!
Liked the turtle layout last year, it had more of the look I like, if not the track plan or scale.
Liked the kitbash with the backshop building turned into one of several factory buildings.
Want more on decorating store windows, I have a gas station that must not look
abandoned, but I can't remember the junk gas station had inside, tires, belts, perhaps a soda machine.
Liked the articles on painting people, and the creek down from Cajon pass, some of
that look is needed in the San Gabriel River bed, mostly dry except for a trickle,
I plan a N scale layout, mostly flat except hills between the tracks at the ends, and two rivers. Total area maybe 64 sq. feet around 2 walls 2.5-3 ft. deep, remainder along other two walls. I'm not satisfied with my track plan, but can't think of how to improve it
in the space available, what to cut, since I need to use the first L shaped part until I can get the rest up to run. I currently run a double loop on 31x48, but my plan is single track, point to point with turn around loop, each leg of the L is a bit over 7 ft. 1 inch.

I want to run trains, and make neat buildings, have something that resembles the area modeled, but I'm becoming afraid that i bit off more than I can chew! It's like perfectionism or nothing, still too many blocks in the way. I still have too many locos that will pick the points on a switch, so maybe no switches with facing points, all traffic one way. Kill the rivers and crossovers.

Layout planning, layout visits, project layouts . . . is there a theme here??

Narrow gauge and branchline layouts designed for smaller rooms or shelvesin any scale. I'd also like to see more articles on the different modeling methods for weathering, construction, scratchbuilding structures and rolling stock (especially using wood), and the different techniques of building scenery.

Nothing beat Art Curren's articles on kitbashing structures!! I do wish, however, that the paint shop thing would come back. The old electronic symposium was way cool also. Bottom line, anything that is a "how to do it" turns me on!

I like the layout tours best overall, but I truly enjoy MR as a whole.

The project layout series are what I've enjoyed the most. Especially those that have had prototype research do some prototype modelling. Even if it's an individual occasionally showing progress of his layout over a few years.

operational bug? So THATS why you have been a little different lately!!![:D][:D]

Seriously, I miss the Prototype drawings of years past. The ones that I rely on MRding for now.
