Another issue with the “Gaugian” is he doesn’t pay for submissions, where “1:64” and the other magazines do. Roger Nulton

Two things effected his magazine. First the decision to put the narrow gauge content into it's own magazine. Second was the other scale magazines that competed for his scale content. What was left was mostly hi-rail for a long time. So many who subscribed for the 'scale' content left for the other magazines. Face it, I really enjoy looking a great modeling of all kinds but the seemingly endless discussions on the makeup of trainsets, shades of green for AF roofs was getting a bit old not to mention speculation what Mr. Gilbert would have done in those last bad years! Don visited my layout a couple of years ago during the Sn3 Symposium and took a mess of photos. We've finalized a track plan (wasn't easy) and I shot a cover, so I assume it'll run one of these days. So that will be some more scale content. I will mention that Don gets along well with the NG guys, attends the various meets, and I think most have supported his magazine. I've also written a few product reviews on some of the smaller items that come his way (the concept is that the writer/photographer gets to keep the product afterward--in this way the magazine gets the article, the writer gets some benefit and the magazine is out nothing and the product get's promoted). With that in mind I keep waiting for a neat RR 0-6-0 engine to arrive for a review but I guess that isn't happening except in my dreams! One should also remember that Don, who is roughly my age or should I say aged, has been doing this a long time, but only he knows how much longer he'll want to publish.

How did you get that idea from Bob's ad? Scenery Unlimited and Heimburger House Publishing do very well, as Don works hard at his businesses. Bob Hogan
