I would still be embarrass.

 

You do not get the point, obviously.

 

 

 

Obviously I get the point and think its sloppy presentation especially from "experts" that's going to give me tips how to plan and  build a layout in a $7.99 special magazine.

I would have went the extra step and used a completed model especially for a cover photo..

Its not the constructon photo since that's what that magazine is all about..Its the incomplete model that has nothing to do with layout planing and building.

 

 

 

Proof you don't get the point, a magazine about planning and building layouts shows a picture of a in progress scene and all of a sudden you're up in arms thinking it shouldn't be in a magazine about planning and building layouts? Model railroading isn't just about the track and scenery, locomotives and rolling stock, the main players in our little game, are fair game for in progress shots.

 

Cliff, great article sir and great layout.

 

 

You still don't get the point.

I would have used a completed switcher or other suitable engine  since that's the way I'm..I would rather not have a cover photo if I was requested to use a unfinished model..

I'm inclined to believe the scenery in the foreground was intentionally photoshopped out.

There is no cover error. Cliff explained perfectly the strategy behind the cover. This post has run its course.
