Not MRs fault. If the manufactures want to get the scale modelers then they should send the ad in showing the scale couplers and not the flyer couplers. Ed should send a comment to Des Plaines about the photo.

Hi, Ed. I sure hope you sent a copy of this observation to MR. ... regards ... pqr ----- Original Message ----- From: Edward Loizeaux To: List, S scale Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 12:54 PM Subject: {S-Scale List} October Model Railroader magazine.... ...MR continues to portray S scale as an AF experience. Example: In the new product announcement column, the Des Plaines FMC boxcars are shown in glorious color photographs -- complete with HUGE AF-compatible couplers. At first I thought this was a paid ad in Classic Toy Trains magazine, but...nope....it was MR. Then I read the caption which tells about the AF couplers and wheels without any mention whatsoever of the scale wheels (included?) and Kadee coupler possibilities for the scale modeler. No wonder many of the non-S folks out there in the real world continually think of S scale as being little more than AF toy trains. Cannot blame them when new product announcements are incomplete at best and flat out wrong at worst.... Cheers....Ed L.
