Sounds kind of "Fred Flintstone" to me?

Well got this off of the Atlas forum:Gentlemen:Model Railroading has indeed ceased publication. The Oct 2006 will be thelast issue. We faced the decision as to our future and put our efforts intothe On30 Annual 2007. That publication has been printed, is available fromhobby shops through Carstens Publications and to individuals from us atwww.on30annual.com.We are working on distribution of the company's other assets and will becontacting our subscribers shortly with their options. I can't commentfurther as those are both ongoing.The hobby is undergoing a evolution and while we are proud of ourcontributions to the hobby over the years and our forward thinking, wesimply were not large enough to withstand the rapidity of the changes. Theinternet, while significant, was not the only factor.While we have ceased publication, we are not out of business. Should youneed the On30 Annuals, any of our other books, backs issues of MRG or theFinescale RRer, please contact us.Chris Lane

Good Evening All,
Any left overs? I.m back from Summit Point early which is never good. My wife and I finished the Lotus 7 by noon on Thanksgiving Day, I thebn loaded up and got on the road by 2pm - easy trip except for the rain I ran through until around Harrisburg.
Friday i got to the track, met the driver got the car teched and ready plus I'd brought my Lotus 7 as well, so the same for it. I decided to sit out the first practice so I could devote my full attention to the car we'd just finished. We went out and did what we call an installation lap where you come back into the pits at the end of the first lap and check that everythings alright and not leaking or something else silly. Everything was ok so I waved him back out. After 4 laps he didn't come around and I got very worried as when you screw up the problem appears early on in running. You are worried you sent the car out with loose suspension or something you modified broke or a weld was defective - the possibilities are endless - and you are left to worry. On theother hand the session wasn't stopped and the ambulance wasn't despatched so no crash or injury, just uncertainty. After the session ended I went back to our paddock area to wait for the car to be brought back epecting at the least a very irate driver. I eas relieved to see the car being flat towed (rope on the roll hoop and rolling on all 4 wheels) so at least the suspension hadn't failed. Then I noticed a trail of oil under the car. Turns out the driver went off the outside of turn one and ran over a boulder hidden in the grass. Knocked the motor clean off its mounts and moved the gearbox over 2" to the left destroying the driveshaft tunnel and putting a hole in the oil pan at the same time. The driver shut the car off after noticing the oil pressure had disappeared (along with the oil). End of weekend and a poor result after working literally all my waking hours on the car for the last few weeks. On the plus side in the short time the car ran it seemed completely different from what it had before to the effect that he had gone off attempting an outside pass on a slower car.
I ran my car the rest of the day putting him in my car for a session so at least he could get some track time out of a long drive from Boston. In the last session of the day something snapped in the back of my car and it got all squirrelly. After pulling in I discovered the frame mounted rear axel locating pin had snapped. Since it was the end of the year and the car had been working really well I felt the combination of events was a hint from the Lord that enough was enough so I declined to try a field repair and headed home today(had it been the customers car that would not have been an option). It's an odd end to the season, but I'm now looking forward to spending some extra time on the layout and getting ready for next season.
It's good to be home and I'll try to catch up on posts tomorrow. CUL,J.R

David Parks I am the terror that flaps in the night!
Must have been a three-legged turkey because I got one also.
I was on a swimming team at Forest Hills High and on the team at Miami Beach High. Maybe thats why I can still put in over 50 hours at work each week. lol
Fergie- good to know your Dad is doing better.
Prayers for all.

Morning All:
Fergie: Good news about your dad. I hope that the contractor is on time and ready to go. Mary Ann hired a contractor to do her pump/ wash house. He started when it was hot out and just this week got the walls framed and up. It wouldn't be so bad except he's our SON!! Oh well at least he's here and making progress. That's OK about the deseasel. It's a first generation and rather unusual. Also it's FM.
RT: I'm sorry to hear about your boss. I'll say afew for him.
As usual for Saturday I'm at work. Not too bad because I am getting to work on painting the Cliffs minehead.
I've got to go and get the park ready. I had about an hour down time on Gold River because they didn't turn on the air for the animations. What happened to giving the ride a walk through fellows?
I'll stop back in later.
Fergie: Another diesel? Say it ain't so! Good news about your father there.
