This update is to remind you the first Monday of the month is the traditional MRH magazine release date, and for March this is March 7. Any time the first Monday is a little later in the month we get folks wondering where their magazine is, so this is to somewhat head off that concern.

So, I was talking to LULU.com while ordering a book (yes, I'm 1 of the writers of the book, under our editor who is listed as author.  It's all about the town I grew up in.)

So, since I was there, I asked them about printing specific issues of MRH.  I was quoted an estimate of 57$ per issue.  Anyone got a better price from some other vendor (5 issues (yes, those 5) @ 57$ each = 285$) is more then I would like to take away from my modeling.

I have some old Floquil solvent base paints. going to give airbrushing a shot. [ Badger 350]   what should I use to thin them for airbrushing?   & what ratio paint to thinner.  also air pressure.

I have just received confirmation that I am now on the BSA National Review team for Railroading Merit Badge.  The next review is scheduled for Summer 2017, reporting out in Jan 2018.

This team will review the requirements, at that time, and determine if any need to be added, subtracted, or updated.  The current requirements can be found online in several places.  If anyone has any suggestions for changes, please communicate them to me so that I may forward them to the team when the time comes.
