I was not going to say anything today after exploring the Information Station feature for the Trains.com site under Model Railroader. But after some thought I feel I wanted to say that: 1- Charging for articles filters out the people who are not willing to do business over the internet. I do buy from Ebay for hobby items at times but it is strictly for email for information on where I needed to send the postal money order payment. I refuse to do commerce or finances on the internet due to security problems of late. (Being a student of computer security does not help me feel secure to run funds via the internet) 2- You can get the same material for about the same price in the Hobby shop. When I first saw the Information Station Trailer that is come out last week stating that this feature will be coming soon... I thought "Oh good! I may be able to read some very old articles from MR of years past" I humbly suggest adding a free section and use articles from decades old and out of print magazines where either the supply is extremly limited or not very much in demand via the old "Back issues" order forms in the MR magazine. Yes I realize the site probably has to find a way to offset the bandwidth usage and perhaps recoup a little bit for the people who work to make this material and I am all for it. But due to the two reasons I provided earlier I am not likely to enjoy this material online. Good Luck on your progress MR. This site is one of the best in the Hobby. Lee Perhaps I was wishing on a star.
