I like the new format better. I had to look it over a bit to find everything, but it is all there. Very neatly done!

Excellent Format! I've always been impressed with Trains Magazine and its willingness
to try new things to improve this hobby by using the best reporting techniques available.
This new format is more concise and user friendly; Good Choice!

Aside from as always being initially slightly unsettled by change, I like it very much. It starts immediately with the news, which I'm always interested in, and then moves on to the "feature" parts, which sometimes I want and sometimes I don't. As always, the commentary is terse, clear and detailed. Hard to see how you could improve on it. So now you can go back to writing articles!

The format is good in that the topics are seperated and highlighted so that it's easier and quicker to find stuff. But make the font slightly bigger by 1 or 2 points.

I have long awaited this fantastic change to occur since there was a poll a few months back on HTML newsletters. I love the format, and I no longer have to drive myself batty squinting to read the plain text. As long as these don't become loaded with ads, please keep sending HTML newsletters. I do feel sorry for those who can't read these properly, try to fix that if you can.

The new HTML format for your newsletter is great! The colors separate the sections better and subconsciously generate more excitement for the written material.

I guess I go against the grain when I say I liked the old format better. I don't mind change-change is good-but why fix something when "it ain't broke"?.

The new format is so much easier to read and differentiate between the various sections. Thanks for the improvement

I like it a lot better. The format is easier to navigate thru and it has already made me read more of it instead of just scrolling down and deleting it.
