BNSF's "Circle Cross" Logo On Boxcars

I am planning on backdating my switching layout to the 1990's(but before 1997) very soon. I have a question. What year or what is the date did the BNSF(Burlington Northern Santa Fe) Railway start putting the "Circle Cross" logo onto their boxcar red(or brown) boxcars?

Introducing the new MRH Running Extra magazine

We're spinning off a new paid magazine we're now calling MRH Running Extra. We have a lot of great articles in our backlog, so Running Extra brings you another ~150 pages of model railroading articles beyond what's in MRH. It also includes all the free MRH content in the back, so you conveniently need only one magazine because Running Extra gives you both.

Premium edition: technical question

Hi Joe,

Really looking forward to the premium edition. One quick question: I know in the past you’ve expressed a preference to avoid digital rights management. Will the premium edition be a straight PDF doc, or will there be any restrictions? I promise your intellectual property is safe with me; I just like to digitally “clip” articles and file them, and that gets tricky when there’s DRM or a proprietary format. Thanks, and congrats on the launch!

Magazine

It has been a great run with your magazine and I do appreciate the free magazine.  It seems that at least half of your magazine is composed of ads.  So, why not just call a spade a spade and say that you just want to make more money?  There is nothing wrong with that, but don't insult us with your excuse of not getting enough advertisers to cover your costs.  I will continue to look forward to your fee magazine.  Actually, the ads are always interesting to peruse.

 

Help with Athearn Genisis 2-8-2 reassembly

I have an atearn genisis USRA light 2-8-2.  Recently I had DDC and sound professionally installed.  When I got it back, I decided to dissasemble it to lubricate the gears.  Stupidly, when I removed the screws holding the boiler weight, I didn't label the screws to replace them correctly.   The weight also includes the upper gear box.  I have the original instruction sheet from Athearn, but it isn't clear as to what goes where.  Test fitting the variousscrews and nuts don't seem to match.

Does anyone have more info on this?
