I am an artist, and a railfan. Naturally, this meant that there had to be a connection. I have always loved drawing trains, but by far, my favorite thing to do with my drawings was to draw my dream railroad. Someday, when I have the space, I want to turn it into a reality. It is very funny how it started. About 5 years ago, I took a trip with my family to Acadia national park, ME. Along the 6 hour drive, I stared out the window at the passing scenery. But when we got to Maine, WOW, there was just SOOOO much I wanted to go out and photograph.

I have read about unusual layouts before. I have a normal layout I think. However, I have an unusual story about what I did. In the late 70's or early 80's I set up a very small loop of N scale snap track on a work counter and ran a short train for a day. Not too unusual except that I was serving in the U S Navy. The kicker is that I was on a nuclear submarine the USS Baton Rouge SSN 689. We were on a very deep dive at the time. I would clarify that I couldn't put the cars or locomotive on the track until we had leveled to a zero bubble. This was in Sonar where I stood watch.

We have a new mobile-savvy version of MRH that's in Beta test. If you'd like to have a look, here's the links (click or tap on the cover):

For the past year or soI have downloaded MRH magazine to my Dropbox and then usually read it on my phone. The first time I open it from Dropbox on my phone, it takes a while for the magazine to load. When I open the next time, it opens up right away.

However, with the new format (both portrait and landscape), it take a few minutes to load each time I open it. This is not a problem when I have WiFi access.  But, without WiFi, it takes several minutes to load. And if the cellular signal is weak, it will not load at all.
