Reply Roadtrp Member sinceNovember 2003 760 posts Posted by Roadtrp on Tuesday, May 4, 2004 12:41 PM cwclark, You may want to give the article a little closer look. It was telling how to use computer printed copies of building kit parts to get an idea of how they fit together and worked with your layout. It was just a preliminary step -- final construction would be with the plastic or wood parts.

MR, when are you going to visit a layout based on the CNW, CGW, CRI&P, CB&Q, Milwaukee, Wabash, Illinois Central or Soo Line? Reply Edit FThunder11 Member sinceJune 2003 From: Colorado Springs 728 posts Posted by FThunder11 on Tuesday, May 4, 2004 8:40 PM got mine yesterday too(5/3/04)! I'm not quite done reading it though. I liked the article on making realistic lakes it was a real good informative one. Kevin Farlow Colorado Springs Reply Roadtrp Member sinceNovember 2003 760 posts Posted by Roadtrp on Tuesday, May 4, 2004 11:30 PM Posted on another thread, but worth repeating here (imho)... The current issue of MR is the best I've seen since I became a subscriber. Many useful and wide-ranging articles... A zillion square foot multi-level HO layout for those with big dreams An extremely well done 4' X 8' HO layout that any #8216;normal#8217; modeler could aspire to. Gorgeous garden layout for all you folks with a million bucks and nothing to spend it on. [;)] Informative "how to's" on adding ground cover and modeling ponds (the section on creating lily pads was one of the coolest tips I've ever read). I truly thought it was a great issue with something for everyone. Well Done!!

Reply Catt Member sinceJuly 2003 From: Sliver City,Mich. 708 posts Posted by Catt on Wednesday, May 5, 2004 9:48 AM Me thinks some of you folks don't read MR very often or are fairly new readers as the Soo,CNW and Milwaukee have all been covered in MR layout articles. My beef is ,when is MR going to quit using the term 0n2 1/2?It's 0n30 guys ,got that.This is the only US mag that still uses this outdated term.How about you get with the program???? Geez,after saying all this yesterday maybe I should add today that I'm Njoying the mage even though there are no specific N scale articles. I'am not an N scaler who believes that MR should be beat up because they don't feature MY scale everymonth.

The Santa Fe in Kansas article was very well done and the pics are excellent. No N scale stuff for us N scalers, but I'm not one of those N scalers who gets a persecution complex every month that a major N scale feature is not included. Every issue appeals to some and not so much to others. And no, I'm not a newbie. I'm an intermediated modeler who has been readin MR for 10 years. Overall I have to say about the June 04 issue "Good work guys. Thanks."

The May or the June issue? Reply Edit Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, May 6, 2004 1:55 PM I got my May issue of Trains just last week. Where is my MR? Did I forget to renew?? Or did the letter carries deliver it to the wrong address? This makes my brain hurt!
