I don´t think the talent pool is shallow at all. There is a large number of gifted and talented model railroaders around - worlwide. But only very few take the time to write up an article to see it published months or years later. They publish their work either in those various and many forums, or even their own website. Just because I am into On30, two outstanding model railroaders come to my mind - Troels Kirk of Sweden and Martin Walberg of The Netherlands (oops - "foreigners" again). You will hardly find their work of art in any of the leading magazines, but tons of information on how they build their layout in forums. For me, this is much more useful than a nice feature in a magazines, where I just look at the pictures, but hardly get any information on how things were done. Publishing in a forum is much more of a dialogue - to the benefit of all participating. I have noticed, that most of the layout building threads die a quick death in this forum. Is it lack of interest?
