August MR

[canazar]

The reason he has that much space is very simple. He is from another planet and must be an alien. No normal human would have that much empty space... or maybe he is single?

[:D]

Mine is stuffed too. One of the main selling points to the girl givng me the garage was the amount of storage I could make underneath it. I now have the whole garage, and alot of stuff is under it.

Hey Randy, congrats on the Big Red stars.

Boo Hoo!! I didn't get mine yet!...sniff sniff....WAIT!!! I have't been to the mailbox yet!! Better make a run to the main road......

Yes!!! It was there!!....and wait....NO!!! I don't believe it......My letter to the editors about the Coming Events section is THERE....right in the MR!!! Woo Hoo!!! Too bad Mr. Sperandeo and the editorial staff at MR don't care to listen very attentively to their subscribers.
Has anyone noticed that the "online note" of where to find the Coming Events section on the MR web site is slo-o-o-owly moving down the web page? You have to scroll down now to see the notice to figure out where to go to find the Events listings. It's getting ridiculous.
A.S. says it all when they feel that editorial comment is more important than keeping their subscribing modelers informed. Then he turns right around and states "...Our concern was and is "how we can maintain or increase MR's value to its readers"...."
Could someone explain how removing an obviously critically important, miniscule section from the magazine is increasing the value of the MR to me??
Oh well. Anyway...I've just achieved my 15 minutes of fame. Thank you all for your support...thank you...thank you.... { oh...ok I'm leaving now....}

I thought that was what all that space under the layout was for? Actually while I am here. I just finished my last section of bench work. I have been doing each section at a time so I could run trains from pretty much the beginning. In the next several days I will have the mainline loops completed anyway. No more lumber trips to Home Depot! Wooo! Woooo!

I got mine here in Canada on Thursday! I like the article on the portable layout, but wish it there had been photos rather than all illustrations. It's easy to illustrate an item so everything is perfect, but photos show how things really are.

The reason my track is 58" off the floor is so I can maximize the storage underneath.

Did not get my MR yet.[|(] Maybe on Monday. [:D]

What's under my layout now is very What WILL be under it is allt he stuff that MUST be stored inthe basemen, but all containerized in those Rubbermaid tubs, with labels. I will put up with having to keep the containers under there, but I won't accept random loose stuff. The there thing that will be under my layout are rolling plastic drawers to store all my cars and locos in.

Yep, you couldn't swing a cat (not that i would anyway) under my benchwork, every inch is packed to the gill's with stuff, i have three full size filling cabinets and five half size filing cabinets, to have so much space would be very nice

Just got my August MR today. The article on the River bend and Eastern is a great one. The details are awesome and the room is very nice. I want to know how he keeps the underside of the layout so clean. Mine has at least 10 boxes full of stuff under them, not to mention the shelves with equipment and building materials. What about your layouts?
