Bob has the feature article in this months “S Gaugian”. It’s his classic “Great Plains Northern Terminal Railroad”, and of course the photography is super! Well worth the cost of the magazine.

The idea to replace past brochures entitled "This is S" that quickly out-date themselves, with something that is new and fresh annually, plus feature the depth of the final layouts and their owners, makes for a good promotions effort. Additionally we can publish our 'best' outside of the publication schedules of the major magazines and their reduced page count. Case in point, I've begun working on a layout that I'm told--'don't even worry about shooting until sometime in 2013"--we're booked up. I'm glad it finally happened, as Jeff and I had talked briefly about it a time or two in the past. Since I haven't seen it, I can't comment about the quality of the photography. I have a tough time trying to convince customers that digital photography is really just a faster and easier way to to produce an image--making it better or even equal to traditional means is the question. How that image is created is still up to the guy with the camera and what he's willing to put into the project. Just like anything else--nothing in, nothing out! It's not easy to put one of these together as I'm sure the dismal results of the RMC promotion piece shows.

A good variety of layouts is important in promoting S to the masses. Overall, I liked the issue, but I would like to see a little better photography if we're to use such pubs for promotion. Also, thanks to Bill Fraley for his article on Frank Titman. HO has John Allen and Allen McClelland, but Frank is our very own legend. Roy
