Marty,
It's a statistical fact that there are remarkable similarities between nubile female bodies & model trains......
Both are designed for children & get played with by men!

On New Year's Eve I was offered Super Sex....I opted for the soup....

Benny, you may be right. I think the hobby would grow more if the magazine was out there more. How about sitting on the rack next to the Garden railroad for beginners book at a garden center next to alll the other gardening books?

I've often thought that opening a large scale train store with in an existing garden center would be great! " Oh you need ballast, it's in the bin next to the mulch"[;)]

I THINK Rene will hang Marty from his rail road bridge next week., or Marty will be behind the [8]

Oh you guys, man it was just an idea!!!!
You take the family to the swiming hole or beach, whats the difference?
Even the model airplane one had a young lady holding a plane. Besides we are talking about catching folks eyes at the news stand.
Thats why GRYs changed the cover page to the way it is.
How about just a pretty face??? Like TOC's,,
Or Aristo talks about the WOOW factor. I have a large photo that Eric took one day of me sitting on the mountain and I thought about doing the same shot with my two younger sons in it.
I'll find that photo and resize it.
Heres the photo

Its a little large pixel wise, may load slow.
This isn't bad, I'm showing alittle skin!!!![;)]

John....a question:
"I would have thought a well rounded mag with stuff for the beginner....."

we ARE talking trains, right?
Maybe the "well-rounded" is the nose of an "F" unit?

Yeah.
Right.

I remember my old Railroad and Railfan magazines with that stuff........

Just wait until Rene reads this on Monday!!!! She is going to think you've gone crazy. i will say that Marty's suggestion would make GR more likely ot keep up with that car mag and motorcyle mag "Lowrider."

Involve bottles and the liquid therein?

I know how to get it to grow.
Grind it up to a mulch, plant it outside, water it and let the sun get at it for a while...

You gotta be Joking........ That would be the death knell for this mag and rightly so. That why there's Page3! If this mage is to grow perhaps more info on Live Steam could be included ..... alot more on GRR on a budget.... More family inclusive stuff.......... Marty, you put up quite a Lightning Rod.
Happy New Years to Everyone, Good Luck!

If GRRs needs to lower its self too have a page three girl then some thing is terribly wrong with the content of the mag.
I would have thought a well rounded mag with stuff for the beginner to the master craftsman should be enough.
and a reasonable purchase price
Failing that a good bit oh fertilizer and deep watering might help thats what all the garden guru's say[:D]

Isn't February the swimsuit issue Marty. I heard Post Office workers working in the back of the P.O. this morning and ask if my Garden Railways Mag. had come in today but they couldn't find it (benefits of living in a small town) maybe Monday.

I was at Wally Mart tonight looking for GRRs mag and there was NONE. NO Model Railroader, no train nothing??????
Bummer this is so wrong!!!!!
Then I realized how to make the magizine GROW.
Girls
Martha , Rene , all the staff of GRYs mag one at a time needs to stand by the featured RR in a bikin with a big smile holding a train.
That would be great eye catcher.
I'm not sure Marc H. or Kevin should be on , kinda like the body builder ones or sports ones.
Hey its a though, I just want to help.[^]
