MRH newsletter
Bookmarking specific articles
Is there any way to bookmark specific articles for later retrieval? I have taken to cutting up my model railroad magazines and filing the “keeper” articles by topic. I don’t want to print the MRH articles to do this, but I’d like to find a way to do something similar electronically. Ideally, even highlight the relevant text.
Thank you
"Weekly update" emails?
Someone on another forum said they saw one of my photos in a 'weekly update' email from 3-15-20
I've been a member for a while here and I'd never even heard of email updates.
Looking into my profile, I found where I can sign up.
But as I'm too late for the 3-15-20 one, how can I get it sent to me? I'd love to see it...
"Weekly registered reader email" thanks
To the staff who creates the "Weekly registered reader" emails... thank you :-)
Today's photo got my attention with the hilarious tagline "no it's not a model". That coupler looks so much like a kaddie...
Newsletter options?
Is it possible to receive the MRH email newsletters, without also receiving the TrainMastersTV items? I appreciate the MRH ones, but the TMTV items are of no interest to me.
If it's an "all or nothing" thing - which it currently seems to be - then I'll reluctantly go with "nothing".
Thanks.

Changing Major Directions from my Current Layout to a New One
I started a blog in 2017 to document the creation of my Z scale Alpine layout (all Marklin locos and rolling stock with mixed products for just about everything else). You can see my posts at the end of this page.
I went with Z scale because I wanted to make the most of a layout in a limited space and I had bought some Marklin Z rolling stock, locos and track many years ago for "the day" I would start a layout.
ALPINE RAILROAD IN NJ-LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS
I am asking the MHR community for some help in solving a problem I created with my choice of layout scenery. My layout was originally conceptualized 25 yrs ago as a much smaller layout with no intention of adding a backdrop or anything like that. I started this current version with the old idea then expanded it because I had the room to do so. Although I do plan on adding a backdrop at some point, I didn't take this into consideration when I stuck with the basics of how I originally thought the scenery would look.
ALPINE RAILROAD IN NJ-EVOLUTION IN PICS PART VII
When I last posted I had just completed adding rocks to the newest section of my layout. I flew to CA for vacation on 12/27 and am still here now in LA on business until Feb. Of course that means I don't get to work on the layout but before I left I took a few more photos to share after I had colored all the remaining white plaster with Woodland Scenics earth pigment. It really makes a huge difference. Even without grass or trees the layout starts to look more realistic.
ALPINE RAILROAD IN NJ-EVOLUTION IN PICS PART VI
Since my last post I had glued hydrocal rock castings to the mountains on the newer section and colored them after having glued the tunnel portals and retaining walls in place. The next set of photos shows the progress.
This is the newest section I mentioned in a previous post with the mountains and portals in place.
ALPINE RAILROAD IN NJ-EVOLUTION IN PICS PART V
Now that I have gone over most of the build for my layout up to present day (I will take pics of the newest table with the mountains and rock faces in place and post them soon), I thought I would show some of the details I have been working on like tunnel portals, bridges and structures. Since I didn't take any before pics of the portals or bridges before I painted/weathered them, I found pics online of what they look like out of the box.
