Readability
Hello Gentlemen.
I really enjoy both the e-zine and monthly newsletters. My only critique would be on the flow from one highlight or topic to another. What I mean is that when I read through the newsletter I find it hard to skim through and pick out those things that interest me. The color coding on the scales helps. When a new paragraph on a new topic begins it would be helpful to have either some indentation or maybe bold the first few words of the new topic.
Just my thoughts..
Thanks,
Alan Butler
Keep it up!
Thanks for another interesting newsletter. It took me nearly an hour to get through counting the time I spent on click-through sites. IMO this is your greatest advantage over print alternatives -- instant gratification thanks to being interactive.
I was able to instantly click-through to Accurail's bargains, Proto87's rerailers (too cool!), Branchline's fallen barn kit and Sergent's couplers (working rotary couplers? Wow!) to name a few. I even learned of an upcoming event practically in my backyard.
Thanks again. Keep up the good work.
Mike
felicitaciones
Felicitaciones por este nuevo número de la revista de septiembre, encuentro los articulos muy interesantes y nuevamente gracias....
MODERATOR (Translation): Congratulations on this new issue of the September magazine, I find the articles very interesting and thanks again ....
Instant gratification
I really like the online option for the newsletters. As Mike mentions, the ability to see ad - read ad - goto website, is huge!
Mike's post also reminds me. Yesterday I saw a print ad in a popular MRR rag that I meant to check out online...guess I forgot about it until now. Oh well. maybe I'll get to it after I'm done here on the forums...

You guys are great! Keep up the good work.

E-zine & Newsletters
I look forward to each new publication of the Model Railroad Hobbyist and the newsletters! My only complaint is the magizine is quarterly instead of weekly! Only kidding here... Thanks for the online publications.
Weakly
Glad you like MRH. While we'd love to go to weekly issues I'm afraid (said weakly) that you'll need to be satisfied with bi-monthly starting next year. Not quite what you desired but at least a step in the right direction.
Now, if you'd really like us to go weekly then you need to help us get circulation up around 300,000 so that there'd be enough ad revenue to pay for an office building full of the staff required to churn out a publication with that frequency...
Best regards,
Charlie

Great! But...
.. is there a page missing in the news? It goes directly from Accurail to somewhere in the middle of the Athearn announcements...
All up though, methinks MRH is here to stay. Teething problems are to be expected. The quality is good and it's good to see the embracement of new media.
Cheers,
Colin
