An editor should only have to read the exchanges on this list to have a
countless supply of story ideas.
Alex.....Ya just hit the nail on the head -- this list is our S scale
magazine. There is no other publication -- electronic or paper -- that
comes close to matching the content right here. As John Degnan said, it is
time to creep out of our caves and do something with the newer technology.
Perhaps an upgrade to this list to somehow have a more organized and
structured format. Regular columns, layout photos, construction articles,
etc. That will take time and will need a volunteer -- of which there are
few -- although Michael Eldridge spoke of something similar not long ago.
But it is a lot easier and cheaper than starting up a new cellulose-based
publication. Not too mention saving trees and reducing global warming. The
bigger problem is how to let others know about this list. Perhaps an
advertising/marketing guy could lend his talents here and tell us how to
accomplish this. Posting on other lists, small ads in print publications,
direct mail to NMRA members, etc. are possibilities to be explored. Then
the big question: How to charge for it? Or should it be free?
Just some more ideas for others to do. I gotta go write an article today.
Cheers...Ed L.
