Landmark Layouts

Guys,

I've often wondered.  

Which three model railroad layouts do you consider the most outstanding of the modern era and why? It was quite hard to pick but here are my three, in no particular order:

New England Berkshire and Western - RPI
Tehachapi - SDMRM
Batavia Model Railroad Club  - Batavia, Ill. (Now Gone)

Bonus Downloads

It would be a lot easier to have one .zip file with all of the highest quality bonus downloads from that issue (HDV when available, DVD otherwise). It would only be a gig or two per issue if that. Not a big deal, just sort of annoying to download a bunch of different files. Keep up the great work!

The WORST part of model railroading!

Fellow modelers,

O.K. - it's your chance to CRY like a baby about what you like the least about model railroading.....and why.

I'll start the ball rolling:  For me, it's ballasting track, and yes I've read / seen all of the "easy" and "best" ways to do it.......I just don't like to do it!  Why?  I don't know why - maybe because it takes away from my time on structures and scenery which are my favorite things.

Your turn - please give your least favorite.

Scratchbuilding and RTR

I really don't think that you scratchbuild or kitbash because RTR models have given you time. I think you scratchbuild or kitbash because you want something not commercially available or because you just enjoy making things yourself.  I think those reasons have been consistent over the entire history of model railroading. People scratchbuild or kitbash because they just enjoy making things and would make things regardless if there was RTR or not.

Sponsors list seems missing?

Is it just me?  When I go to the sponsors page I see no links there.

Not an issue if I had access to my own computer but I have none of my bookmarks on this borrowed laptop.

My Kindle Fire beats my iPad2-3g

What? Yes, my Kindle Fire beats my iPad2-3g when it comes to WiFi connection at my home.  I have a Linksys 2.4 wireless router and use it with both my KF and IP.  I can connect reliably with my Kindle Fire anywhere in my home, on my front porch, and even standing in my driveway.  My iPad only connects when I'm no more than 30 feet from my router and won't work at all on the front porch or driveway.  I also have to turn my WiFi off and back on again on the iPad once I loose connection with my router.

Made a server IP change - site may be slow for a while

We made an IP change today and it may make the site slow for a while for some of you.

The IP change may take up to 2 days to propagate throughout the internet. Until the change propagates completely, this site may be slow for a while.

In some cases, we've found clearing your browser cache and rebooting your computer will force the site to totally reload into your browser and things will speed back up.

Unable to change avatar

Hey guys,

I'm trying to replace my old avatar, but each time I upload the new one it gets replaced with the one I'm trying to delete. Any thoughts on this?

Anyone else having trouble reading March's Ezine ?

Its 808 am here on the East Coast, anyone else having trouble reading the Ezines that came out this morning? Or is it just me. More specifically, I cant read the issues online. It looks like I can download them, but I really dont want to do that. The links are being redirected to http://issuu.com/mr-hobbyist/docs/mrh12-03-mar2012-ol?viewMode=presentation&mode=embed
