Each magazine issue will be a downloadable PDF that you can read through and interact with (it will have video, audio, and virtual reality 3D images). At the end of each article/column there will be a link:

Click here to post comments or
questions  about  this  article

Clicking that link at the end of the article/column takes you to a special page here on this web site where you can post questions or comments about the article. Each article will have its own page and set of threads.

This will make it possible for others who have some further insight to add their two cents, or for those who didn't quite get something to post questions. We'll encourage the author of the article to drop by regularly to read the comments and to answer any further questions.

In effect, the article's value to you does not end just with the magazine ... this exciting new feature turns the article into a living document of sorts, growing and expanding in a way traditional print publications just can not do.

Wow, does this 21st century internet bring some amazing new possibilities or what?

GREAT!

That adds the perfect, and needed dynamic, to the magazine. I think it'll make our hobby more interesting.

This is gonna be great!

   I'm looking forward to so many new things this on -line magazine will provide.  It's going to come alive with video clips which, to me, is a big plus. I always want to learn, but just reading an article or two from a traditional magazine just doesn't get it. I usually end up falling asleep with the magazine tumbling across my chest seldom finishing nor getting  the jest of an article's theme when it's just in print.

     I know by watching video clips instead of reading about them, i'll get more out of it and my modeling skills will increase because watching videos is a better way for me to learn new things.  A good example of this is comparing what i've learned from watching videos versus reading magazine articles. I've been collecting and watching  the Model Railroader Magazine's Dream, Plan, Build videos and Joe's Siskiyou line videos and have retained more information contained in the videos at least tenfold compared to the former years and years of  reading magazines alone. 

   One other note. The on-line op sessions sound like they are going to be a blast too!....chuck
