 I wasn't a reader of MR in the period when Student Fare was a feature of the magazine. So my input is strictly theoretical. If the aim is to interest teens in model railroading why not make the Teen Fare feature a part of the online Model Railroader? The teen target audience is the most computer literate of any age demographic so it makes sense to take advantage of the fact. Second, I'd like to see a regular feature (monthly) of the print version of MR targeted to novices in the hobby, regardless of their age. From the comments it seems that the 'Paint Shop' filled that bill. Third, how about adding a topic heading in this forum for Teens/Novices and testing the ideas presented so far for interest viability. From what I can tell many of the current forum posters are teens or near teens. I'm all for encouraging beginners in the hobby in any way which offers promise of success. Randy
