MRH's new PDF format for July, give it a try!

Okay, here's a sampler of our new "Adaptive" PDF format we're moving to starting in July. While it's basically a portrait PDF, it's got adaptive coding in it that tries to display it as landscape (two facing pages) on-the-fly if your screen is wide enough.

Try it out and let us know how it works for you.

Vendor Response

I hope this type of post is legal because I like to give credit where credit is due.  I recently had an issue installing a Decoder Buddy and contacted the company.  Within a week I had a complete replacement from Nick Santo and was able to resolve the problem  This a great product to use on an older non-DCC model from a responsive company.

MRH App

Since March, we have been on shutdown here in Thunder Bay Ontario.

I have been reading MRH and the forum posts on the computer.

Today I noticed that the new issue is out and I thought it might be good to go outside in the sunshine and relax and read it.

So, I picked up my Samsung tablet and sat on my proch. I clicked on the MRH App and what did I see? The brand new April issue of MRH.

I was surprised that the App has not been updated in two months.

Status of the JUNE magazine(s)

MRH magazine and Running Extra are out for proofing right now. We will place all the ads next, then test all the links.

I’m projecting a Wednesday release for MRH and a Thursday release for Running Extra.

Remember RE is always a day after MRH because MRH is in the back and we always need an extra day to allow MRH to bake in so we find any egregious errors first.

MICRO DESIGN COMBO PCB REV 1.0

Found these on a layout being dismantled.  Does anyone know what they are?

Why bother? Payment delays ...

On another thread, Joe Fugate posted

"So give us your take that’s superior and we'll publish it."

Why bother, when I might have to wait months and send lots of emails just to get paid like a MRH author I know.

Atlas S2 S4 yellow box

 Atlas Yellow Box S2 S4 B&M, I have a few, they ran great on DC , I had them converted to DCC because I love the smaller diesels, the guy did a great job, they ran really well at first but now they run fair to not so good depending on which one, I've done some research,  the wheels on these are Brass, and the pick ups rub the flange.  One in particular had started running in sputters, I removed wheels cleaned them and cleaned the pick ups best I could..Overall compared to new diesels I own these just run inconsistently on DCC and get dirty fast,  they also have s

Running Extra on the MRH app?

I have the MRH app on my iPhone and was hoping I could view RE on it as well. Is there a way to do this, or another app? Thanx!

Delrin Chain Drive for HO

Can anyone direct me to a source for small Delrin gears & chain to use in repowering HO locomotives?  I was told Grandt Line had carried some, but they are not listed at San Juan.  NWSL does not carry any that I can find.  Any help or direction to any possible articles on the subject would be appreciated.
