Yeah, I liked the old "Bull Session" columns, too. Guess there's no more BS at Kalmbach!

I voted that I rarely read MR Express. In fact tonight is the first time ever, despite having a computer for over 2 years and being a long time subscriber - since 1967.
Why? Because the MR computer is too slow.

I look forward to reading the MR Express every week. I haven't even started a layout yet but have printed a lot of your past information -- especially the "how to" information. Thanks for sharing!!!

I look for it every week, miss it when it's not updated. Great feature for the electronic Model Railroder site. BTW, I also check the forumsdaily when in town.

Good work, and keep it up.

I enjoy reading the MR Express every week, It seams that I can always learn something new every week that I can use in building my layout. I also print alot of the articales to look at for future reference. I have been interested in model railroading for many years , but have only been working at it for the last 5 or 6 years. Keep up the interesting articales, you do a fantistic job. Thank You!!! Ron Peterson from Iowa.

We really missed you over the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

I look for it each Thursday night and find it entertaining and enlightening.

I read it weekly and have even responded to the authors at times. I appreciate them making themselves available via email and not hiding up in the ivory tower somewhere in Kalmbachland dictate what the rest of us MUST do to be REAL model railroaders. And they answered me the same day! I respect that even though we don't always agree, nor should we.

I read it every week to keep abreast of what's going on in the modeling arena, especially new product announcements or reviews. Sometimes it's nice to hear the negatives about a product before I make the mistake of purchasing it and discovering them myself.

When I voted 2 or 3 times a month, I meant each MR Express as I print each weekly issue so that I can read them offline and refer back to them. The articles are very informative. Keep up the good work.
