MRH magazine
Question for our readers about MRH Sponsors
We have a question for our readers ...
MRH has two kinds of advertisers - hobby marketplace advertisers and sponsoring advertisers.
Sponsoring advertisers agree to a longer-term commitment with MRH and they run larger ads than get run in the hobby marketplace.
Sponsors get their logos posted in the front of MRH and on the sponsors page of our website - so they get a lot more visibility than hobby marketplace advertisers do.
Focus stacking
A friend just gave me a copy of the May 2013 issue of Popular Photography magazine. In it Paul Dolkos writes about "focus stacking", a technique involving combining multiple focus-bracketed images into one deeply focused one. Paul uses a scene on his fine model railroad as the subject. I know a little about photography and a little about computers, but the article was clearly written for those more expert in these subjects than I.
MRH historic videos
I just installed a new Synology NAS (network attached storage) box on my computer network at home. It's currently configured with 5.5TB of raid 5 storage and has DLNA to stream video to my blue-ray player. So I thought maybe I should re-render some of the videos that went with past issues of MRH in hi-def. Then I thought I should share the them. Here are a few.

Calling Norman Woollons
Norman Woollons, your spam filters have been blocking our emails. We've been trying to respond for months to your article queries and NOTHING is getting through!
Whenever you send in an article query make DOUBLE SURE emails from model-railroad-hobbyist.com and mrhmag.com are allowed and include an alternative way we can contact you besides just email, like a phone number.
Your last email took us to task for not responding - believe me we have been TRYING! Kind of hard if you don't make sure we're not a blocked email address!
The end of print ...
This post has almost nothing to do with trains, but it does show the end of print magazines may be on the horizon, and that has some interesting implications for MRH since we were the first all-digital general model railroading magazine. We're also now the second largest publisher with almost 100,000 unique device views in February and March.
My latest model. DTI 50 foot Kadee box car
My latest freight car project is this Kadee 50 foot cushion frame box car. Thanks to fellow modeler Frank Jordan for turning me on to this one. Highball Graphics makes this decal set. F-243. Kadee offers the car in this 1965 paint scheme however the green is too new for my 1977 modeling era. I removed the lettering and re-painted the car using a more faded PC Jade green. Fallen Flags web site provided the prototype photo of the 18095.

ArmChair Modeling
I enjoy reading MRH. Usually read it several times, and go back and read the older issues too. Have a huge collection of model railroading mags and books. Found the April issue about Armchair Modelers very interesting.
1. Satisfied with buying kits and occasionally building one. Or satisfied with displaying RTR models on a shelf or in a case.
PODCAST
Hi all,
I was just wondering what happened to the podcast. I noticed the last one is on 10/2012 in iTunes.
thanks,

Hi, just an observation. On the opening screen, there is a set of 'bookshelves'. The old version of MRH was shown with a picture of the front page, but the new version is just an old brown folder looking thing with the file name written across it. I did like the picture of the front page as I could see at a glance the issue I wanted to open. What is the cause of this, does anyone know?
cheers, Bill
Difficulty reading MRH on Kindle Fire
My screen shows a light gray bar across the bottom of each page of the magazine, blocking the barely visible navigation icons. I tried hiding the Slide Show bar, but that didn't make the bar disappear. With this bar in the way, I have to tap my way through each page. Also, I cannot jump from the contents page to an article. What to do?
