Bob B., I remember admiring your work in the model press back in the 80s. It was a pleasant surprise when I saw the "Fundy Northern" handle on these forums. I've been modeling a long time, but never at the level you do. Keep up the good work and please keep sharing pictures with the rest of us.

Cheers

Dave,

Wanna feel old? Michael J. Fox was on the cover of AARP magazine (wife saw it while getting her hair done). Of course the reason was because of the work he doing concerning Parkenson's, but still, wasn't he just on the cover of Tiger Beat? Or am I getting old too?
If you ain't having fun, you're not doing it right and if you are having fun, don't let anyone tell you you're doing it wrong.

1986 issues are OLD issues? Since when?
And since when is that 20 years ago???
Oh wait.
That's right.

Thanks for the comments! My first published model railroad photo was a Trackside Photo in MR's March 1983 issue. Was that exciting! Had two of MR's "Model of the Month" features the same year and some stuff in Mainline Modeler too.

My latest will be in the February 2006 RMC, I got their Dremel Kitbashing Award for a Roundhouse passenger car that I reworked.

Slowing down a bit but still kicking! Over 800 photos published so far.

You have been good at this for a long time. I have been going through old MRR mags and came to 1986, and there you were on the cover of the July issue. I notice that the roundhouse module featured is still on your web site. The detail is wonderful. It was such a delight to see the great article and then recognize you. Thanks for at least 20 years of being good at this and sharing.
