All --
As the NASG's Librarian, I get all the current S-oriented publications, paid
for by NASG. A couple of days ago I received the Library's copy of the Jan/Feb
2008 S Gaugian. The cover photo made me want to cry.
I initially thought the better of commenting because of my NASG Librarian
position. But I have decided what the heck, go for it. The photo is of a
small engine terminal area that's featured within the magazine. The
structures, scenery, and detailing are much better that I have seen on most
layouts. Even the rails are painted -- something I do on my own layout. But
there's a monstrous AF switch right smack in the center of the photo. The rest
of the track is AF sectional with extra two-foot-wide wood ties added.
I know this is only a hobby, and I would be the last person to tell someone
he/she's not doing it right. Still, I wonder about someone who has such a good
eye for detail and completeness and yet cannot see the incongruity of the total
scene. Surely the notion of using something like SHS sectional track must have
occurred to the builder... Or maybe not...
I suspect many of you subscribe to the S Gaugian. I'd be curious to know your
thoughts. Am I way off base here?
