Rich, I agree with you. There’s usually lots of good stuff in Model Railroader, including Tony Koester’s “Trains of Thought” and Andy S’s column on operations. And the photos are always superb. I find that I can often learn something even from looking at the ads. But I’ve only been in the hobby 25 years.

Aticles like Pelle Soeborg's overpass, Gary Hoover's viewblocks, Steve Harris's plaster-cast stone building and Matt Snell's flatcar load articles seem to counter the "buy and plop" theory. I would also not consider Mike Danneman's Rio Grande N-scale railroad "buy and plop." (All in the December 2011 issue) Unless, of course, there's absolutely nothing to be learned from these folks.
