Just saw the current episode of "Cody's Office" and thought I'd make a suggestion - when getting a review locomotive, I recommend requesting that it not be in PRR, PC, N&W, or NS paint if you are going to have it on your special.
Basically all I could see was an SD45 shaped hole in the screen - and that's something the manufacturers should want to avoid as much as you should.
I had to smile when I saw the Atlas O MP15DC though - I model one of the Genesse & Wyoming system of railroads and bought both of the HO scale versions of that locomotive that they produced in that paint job.
Dear cody...
How the heck did you get such a good job? You don't look very old. (my age). Errr.......
Modeling the N&W freelanced at the height of their steam era in HO.

Lothar,
Model Railroader associate editor Cody Grivno produces a video each week, you can watch it here
http://www.trains.com/mrr/default.aspx?c=a&id=2404
The videos are improving in quality and production every week. Cody has a geat sense of humour and I agree how did someone who looks younger tham me get such a great job.
I have to agree that a black colour scheme is not ideal for a product review. I'd also like to see the models move on a test track.
cheers

Yeah, and Cody, how come you received more than a fair share of "good looks."

Alan,
Do you know where I could see any of the previous editions of Cody's Office? This is the first one I've run across.
Thanks!
Well, you know how to solve that....
Sorry Jeff,
You gotta watch them as they come as far as I know. You could try fiddling with the URL but I don't expect tat will work.
I only recently subscribed again to MR so I could get to see the videos. I bought every issue of MR anyway so a subscription was a good idea. The Auzzie dollar had come up a bit so it is cheaper to get MR posted direct to me in Oz than it is to buy at the local newsagent (a win win situation for me!)
The previous editions are on there somewhere. I kept a newsletter from February and was able to view the video. I tried hacking the link with no results. So if you want to ever refer back to one, keep your newsletters.
I find them quite entertaining.
