Has anyone used Internet Hobbies. PA?
Hi All,
Was looking for some more motive power today and came across "Internet Hobbies" based out of PA. They have have a couple of Atlas locomotives that I've been chasing. I was wondering if anyone on MRH has used them before and what was your experience like? They have some very good prices as well as a large range of stock.
Cheers,
Jas...

Manual uncouplers - your suggestions please!
Sometime in the near future I plan on starting to do operations and I need suggestions on uncoupling tools. I've seen the bamboo skewers and they look like that they will do the job. Are there other options for manual uncoupler tools? I don't want to use magnets. Thanks!

A very simple (and free) thing that YOU can do to help Model Railroad Hobbyist
Ladies & Gentlemen,
First of all, this posting is my own idea and NOT at the request of MRH. That said, we can all help the success of MRH by promoting it each and every time that we can. Many of you are doing this now on your blogs and websites. I encourage all of you that are not to do so. It would also be helpful if your link contains one of the graphics that you can get from the MRH folks to help it stand out on your page.

Help with Pittsburgh area information
I'm looking for information about hobby shops and model railroad clubs in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. My wife and I along with another couple are going to Pittsburgh in early July to see the Cubs play the Pirates (yes we're Cubs fans - please pray for us) and to chow down on a Primonte (sp?) sandwich. Since we'll be there for a couple of days and all of us are modelers, any help you could give me on clubs to contact and good railroad hobby shops to visit would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

What are your favorite ride-along railroads?
Apparently I stepped on a few toes with my "The Doldrums" editor's soapbox in the June issue by omitting a number (a large number) of railroads where you can ride along historic rails, sometimes behind steam power.
Filtering recent posts list
Is it or could it be possible to allow readers to filter the Recent Posts listing? For example, could one list only Topic and Blog posts? I'm asking because I find the increasing proportion of MRH posts tends to obscure the individual posts I want to follow. Not that I object to the MRH material, but it frequently duplicates the magazine.
The flip side, of course, is the MRH post that generates a flood of comments, which usually means they're worth checking out.

Changing email address
I would like to change my email address. Is it really as simple as going to my account, edit, then just putting my new email address in? I dont get any confirmation email.
