I think these are good ideas brewing here. I never thought about the online
MRH. But, I really think this publication needs to be an all "S" publication
and not just one article or layout per year in GMR. We're trying to catch the
attention of modelers in other gauges to show the positive attributes of "S"
scale. It could follow the lines of being an S scale primer, but much more.
I also don't think traditional AF fits into my idea of what this publication
should be any more than you see scale and traditional 3R in the same
publication in O gauge. They share the gauge but have completely different
followers. We are fortunate in "S" that manufacturers can produce locos and
rolling stock that for the most part fit both venues. I think "S" Scale and "S"
Hi-Rail like Carl Tuvesons layout is what should be showcased.
I also thought Jeff's idea was to not publish the member issue of the Dispatch
and use those funds (along with others) to publish this "S" layout special.
Whether is was substituded for the member issue or had to be purchased
individually was lost in my excitement of seeing a publication of this type.
I'll buy it. But, I think it's important to see it available in hobby shops or
online or in some venue to reach the mainstream modelers in other gauges.
