And what would re-reading old Model Railroaders do for me, Brakie?  It wouldn't prove to me that Model Railroader did "INFOMERCIALS" as I would have no way to prove to myself that they where paid for publishing what you term as such.  To top it all off, if they where paid, I simply don't care!

You've made the claim, you've used the term "INFOMERCIALS", you need to prove they where used by Model Railroader.

Folks, chill out a bit and relax..................

The article was simply demonstrating the difference in the various types of trucks.  There are plenty of newbies out there that welcome this information.  Does it really matter what brand they used for their pics?  The point of the article - IMO - was to show what types have been used, when and for what type of car.

 

ENJOY  !

I thought it was nice for the Kadee representative to point out the article's omission of Tahoe Model Works.  Kadee and Tahoe are both high on my list of excellent suppliers.

I agree Tom, that was a nice gesture!
