Hi Ed; I found a photo on-line;

Reading the S-scale digest Posted by: "Don McGinnis" A note to Ed L. The photos I saw of your water troughs when I logged in to send this message are fantastic. I'll now be looking to see an action shot of a NYC Hudson with water spraying all over the place as she 'scoops on the fly.' Don M. member NASG; SFRHMS; UPHS; and SJSG --------------------------------------------- Don... Ironically, the Editor of MR (Neil) just called me today and asked for an article on the track pans. So I have to get out the camera and go to work once again. I am thinking that a photo-shopped picture of water spray all over the place would be kind of neat. Anyone have a good prototype photo they could send me as an inspiration? Anyone out there (Werre?) have any experience at doing this sort of thing? In the same phone call, he stated that my milk train article will NOT be running in the June '08 issue as previously stated, but later in the year. He actually apologized for that. Nice fellow. I like him. Not only that, but he actually said he would like to run more S scale articles. I don't imagine he gets very many. There is no secret to having an article published in a major magazine. You only need two things: (1) Excellent quality photographs, and (2) Topic of interest to all scales. Milk trains, track pans, signals, trackwork, electrical stuff, etc. can all be topics that appeal to those modeling in other scales. But the use of S scale models to illustrate the article can and does help to spread the word that S scale exists and that excellent quality modeling is possible in our favorite size. If you want to publish an article on how to attach Kadee couplers to an S Scale America tank car (for example), there are S-only oriented publications better suited to that particular type of topic. The mainstream multiscale magazines probably would not be interested in that kind of topic. Unless it was in HO, of course. Writing skills are not needed since all magazines have editors who can correct your errors and clarify the meaning. Also, every Tom, Dick and Harry has a digital camera these days and so it is not really even necessary to take photos yourself. Just ask a friend. A floodlight or two will help, but is not essential. The main thing that is needed is the desire to do it and taking time to prepare the materials. Without those two things, it will never happen. Cheerfully.....Ed L. Yahoo! Groups Links Pieter E.
