hobby paint
It seems that the federal government in Canada is intruding into our hobby.Floquil and Poly scale will get very hard to find.I personally have no luck with water based paint so I will be in trouble.It looks like we will be turned into criminals smuggeling paint into Canada.I will update this info when I know more

A Hidden Advantage of Model Railroading
Spring time in Northern Georgia where I live is especially beautiful and as I was out today it occured to me that I enjoy it much more since becoming a model railroader. When I started to think about why this was so, it was clear that it is a result of developing "a model railroader's eye".

Christmas in April !!!
I just finished watching the last of the Model Trains Video Operation Session Live videos (1-4), after having them in my hands for over a week.
I had been away for several days and could hardly wait to get back to see the balance.

Thread Favorites
Maybe I've missed the link/button, but is there a way to select threads as favorites? I did a forum search without any luck.
Thanks

Foam, lovely pink foam in California
We're re-roofing our house and that's required multiple trips to Home Depot in Monterey. On one of those trips, I was walking down the Insulation aisle and what to my wondering eyes did appear: pink Owens Corning extruded foam in several thicknesses. I don't know when they started carrying it, but if it's available here at HD it should be available elsewhere in California.
Rejoice all, for we have reached the promised land.

Model railroading or trying to start WW 3
I found this video interesting. Great animation of the Minuteman launch system. My wife used to work on this project before it was cancelled in the early 1990s. . .

New Masthead
I noticed this morning the new images added to the rotation in the masthead (they may have been there for a few days but I haven't been around much) and wondered who owned the layouts that the Rio Grande and CSX locos were photographed on.
Really nice images in my opinion, as good or better than the original set!

March/April Issue here without any complaints?
Very Good Joe!!
Woke up this morning and found the newest issue of MRH Magazine ready for download and not a single complaint about it arriving on March 1st. I guess not letting everybody know it's coming is the hot ticket Joe.
So far I have skimmed through the March/April issue and it looks to be exceptionally interesting and also the best so far. I made a few phone calls to friends to let them know the issue is out so now I'm off to read everything.
