Richard,
I couldn't agree more, but then that's why we're on the S "Scale" List. It
goes to highlight the fact that there is no true scale magazine for S. I know
publishing and mailing is expensive, but in the digital age why, oh why, is
there no on line magazine? My subscription dollars are just waiting for some
enterprising entrepreneur. With no printing and mailing costs advertisers may
not even be a major issue, in which case regular publication cycles could be
whatever is appropriate for the material at hand. Heck, I'd settle for a good
solid paid subscription Scale newsletter.

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?
