Mel,
What I would like to do (with the blessing of Kalmbach) is to publish a
retrospect of my work. Because of an uncertain market, it might be in
electronic form, but include some of my ads for PRS, SHS, AM, Southwind,
East/West models, besides most of the magazine articles I felt worthy.
Photographers in general have big egos (what, me!) but little money
(that's me for sure) so we either go for broke or cobble something
together to get their message out there. Chances are that I'd have to
go for the safer choice or find some investor who didn't care about a
financial return anytime soon. I'm also not certain what type of
delivery I would use--a download, CD, DVD or perhaps something that
hasn't been invented yet. The issue with all of these formats is that
there still are roughly 40% of modelers without computer access for
several reasons.
As far as Kalmbach not using any additional images--actually they do,
not often but they do occasionally send me an advance copy and a small
check for either a reprint or a previously unpublished image, sometimes
years later. Therefore publishing in another magazine is unlikely.
Carsten's is much more flexible, but I've only had one HO layout
published in RMC.

how about posting the missing photos to "the dispatch", chances are
that rmc will not publish anything else about the central california
rr, in the near future,
since kalmbach as already done it, this way we can see what we are missing

My MR copy arrived today. It is a terrific article and one I think
Bob would have been proud of. More good press for "S" and some fine
modeling for any scale. Kudos to all who worked on it and your always
outstanding photography. Brian should be impressed.
