Yes, both of their ads were nice, as one would expect. JWDPremium also had
two separate ads.
The over-all effect suffers though from what I'll call the "NASG Syndrome,"
the philosophy that scale modelling and tin-plate collecting are equally
valid and very similar pursuits. Of course they are, from a broader
pespective. But RMC is a SCALE model publication. It really should have
taken the pro-scale position. I wouldn't expect to read an S gauge article
in Classic Toy Trains that went into the pros and cons of code 110 vs code
125 wheels. This article could have touched on things like that. Today's S
scaler really doesn't need to know that AF had a "latch-type coupler" from
1946 to 1950.
I counted 10 cars & locos in ads and other pictures with AF-size knuckle
couplers, and one with the link or latch couplers.
But I think we're safe from another thread going on and on about this RMC
pull-out by the fact that few of us subscribe to RMC.
