Exactly. And besides, when did "BillA" become the arbiter of what's a good issue and a bad one? So he didn't like this issue. To people who like vintage trains (prewar *and* postwar, this time) it's a good issue. To people who do their own repairs it's a good issue.

The best thing to do when you don't like an issue of a magazine is to put it in your back-issues pile. A time is likely to come when you or one of your buddies will need the information. And if you don't like the issue and you're sure you'll never like it, leave it in the doctor's office or somewhere public where someone else can find it and flip through it, rather than just tossing it.

Better Idea, send an e-mail to the magazine and keep it off the forum. [B)] If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. No one held a gun to your head, I hope anyway.[}:)]

I personally am happy to have TWO magazines about O gauge and often pick up a copy of ‘Fine O scale’.

The more about O gauge the better IMO.[:D]

I agree. If you're going to bash, it's basically falling on deaf ears if you go to the other forum. Post it on the home forum, and hopefully the magazine management will take notice and do something about it(or at least take it into consideration).

I visit and post on CTT and OGR forums. Had not noticed this post on OGR until this AM. Guess my reply will "****" of some folks. I do not like criticizm of one forum or magazine on the other. I think both "managements" should zap these if they appear. Want to criticize, go to that forum and then be constructive.
