I voted a BIG YES! I feel a page in the magazine wouldn't be that big of deal but I'm not a publisher so I could be wrong. I loved student fare, it was awesome. Now, I do feel some what insulted by the idea that student fare would be "basic" or "dumb down". I know some of us are new and need to learn but some of us have been doing this longer than some adults and have sharpened our skills. I do a proto freelance ACL in modern. Due to necessity I have been forced to learn how to air brush and have gotten pretty good at it. I know that might not be saying a lot but I do feel that airbrushing, decaling, and detailing your locos is more advanced than what some of you think we are capable of. I know I still have a lot to learn and I'm learning from 3 of the best model railroaders (to me) Bob Harpe, Nate Stone, and Jack Armstrong. All are award winning modelers (by the NMRA) and they can vouch that the young guns have some talent that needs to be recognized. I feel too often in Model Railroader it focuses on the adults. I'm sure there are young modelers you can teach the adults a thing or two. Just my thoughts... Jason Castine PS-If the ACL guy sees this, please email me, I’d like to talk to you.
