I was very surprised and pleased today to open the November edition of the magazine and see one of my articles quoted by Joe Fugate on pages 86-87.

Thanks Joe. I really appreciate it.

I've been working on a longer article including modelling the 40 footer, to correct some of the errors on some of the cars, and the types of industries that used them. Not all of them appliance industries.

I understand that because of the many demands on Joe and staff's time, i.e.: show appearances, e-zine deadlines, etc. the Ops sessions have been temporarily interrupted. What I would like to know, and it would make a neat article, is if Joe and crew have had any time to do any scenery progress on the line. I really like Charlie's updates on progress on the BCSJ, and would like to see something on the Siskiyou Line. A loyal fan, John Colley, Port Townsend, WA 

I am seriously considering a DCC set up for a new layout I'm currently working on however, I'm very old school when it comes to all of this modern day technology in the hobby?  Also being very frugal (not by choice) in my abilities to enter into the world of DCC operation, would it be possible to get what is needed to start this project for $500 which would include one DCC equipped diesel locomotive???  I know that's not much when it comes to funding a DCC operation but, I'm told I can get a complete starter set for roughly $200 and the left over $300 should buy

Just saw that Newsweek will stop all print and be digital only.... for a fee on a subscription base.  I was surprised to see they didn't mention if the rate would go down
