You guys would really be amazed at all of the stars that are model railroaders. Some keep it private while others are "out there with it" and belong to clubs. They're just as human as the rest of us, well, in most cases at least...
Tracklayer
I got my MRR yesterday, read the article, very good, seems he's been assembly buildings while living in hotels for years, He was quoted as saying , "If I paid someone else to do it, it wouldn't be the same" Kinda left me with the impression he did the work. Yes it is basically a highly detailed city scene with a HUGE hidden yard literally going down a hallway.

I noticed that, but if it is just meant to be a single scene, rather than a full railroad, it might not be as it sounds. It seems that he has another railroad at his home in England.

Naw...You've got to be a psycho like Brittany or a rapper to make it big these days. Stick with trains and stay off the front page of the Enquirer...

The cover's been on the MRR homepage for a few days now. I look forward to reading it, I rather suspect he did the work, he strikes me as 'old school' despite the supermodels and glitz.

Dear MR readers,
It looks like I should clarify a few things that have come up in this thread.
One is the idea that we can get content from the forums. Actually, as Mark noted, pulling content from the forums would require reading thousands of threads. That's not possible. We are, however, happy to read proposals for stories, as noted in the thread that's always at the top of the forum:
http://www.trains.com/trccs/forums/870084/ShowPost.aspx
Another thing to note is that there's a world of difference between photos that look good on a screen and photos we can use. We run photos at 300 dpi (not 72 dpi) and we strongly prefer RAW images (or slides - remember them?). Our digital photo guidelines are here:

The move of Trackside Photos to the back of the magazine about 3 years ago had no significance other than that we wanted to have some good photos at the back of the magazine. (It was a little text-heavy back there.) The popularity of the department didn't change with the move.
Finally, regarding the stories and photos we run: We can't buy a story if the author doesn't send it. If you (or one of your buddies) have a great layout or great how-to technique, propose a story. That's how guys like Lou Sassi, Paul Dolkos, Lionel Strang, Pelle Soeborg, and Joe Fugate (and, for that matter, yours truly) got started. We're always looking for our next author, and we pay as soon as we accept your story for publication. We can't buy everything we review, but your chances are infinitely better if you submit a manuscript than if you don't.
Thanks for reading MR, and best wishes.

I think I had a good idea and I have another

Cool! thanks for posting the link.
Got all but one of Rod Stewart's albums over the years, if you don't count that "Songbook" stuff...
Can't wait to see this layout! I would've thought he paid to have it built, but it sounds like he did it himself.
If the title - something about Rod built this city - is a play on that Starship song....ah, cute?
