What is "The Modern Era"?
I figured that it might be a good idea to start a thread based on a question that Rich Branch asked in another thread.
I do have one request: as a guy who is modeling the 70's can we stop calling that the modern era? I think it's weird that something representing an industry as it existed 35 years ago would be considered "modern".

eBay Shopping
Joe has done a great job on explaining using eBay. As a long time eBay buyer and seller I would like to emphasize:
DOUBLE CHECK PRICES AND AVAILABILITY!!
Some eBay sellers/dealers consistently price items above the MSRP or "street price". Other sellers describe items as "rare" or "hard to find" that are listed as "in stock" at online dealers or manufacturers sites. Also, beware of auction fever bidding prices too high.

MRH premium extra goodies - Best of MRH Wallpaper collections
As you know, the other model railroading publishers at times make some extra goodies like calendars, books, and the like available to go with their magazine.
We feel our "niche" is to do digital goodies, and we provide the magazine for free, and a lot of bonus goodies free as well. And all this stuff is advertiser-funded.
MRH Article Index search - issues
I tried using the newly advertised MRC search, and when nothing showed up for MRH magazine, I tried adobe reader search on my local magazine archive.

August 31, 2011 and it's back to work
Back to work day at CSI. It should been Monday but because of Irene all classes were cancelled since the buses in Staten Island (never mind the trains but this is Staten Island Rapid Transit) weren't ready to start rolling because of road flooding and downed trees and power lines.

ScaleConverter.air download (MRH Issue 5 - Jan/Feb 2010) question
I had the Scale Converter (MRH issue 5 - Jan/Feb 2010) downloaded and installed on my PC. After a System Restore, I tried to open the original zip file from an external H/D backup to reinstall it. Now the zip file expands but wont install. Instead of installing, its tries to open with Windows Media player. Any hints or maybe where I might download a fresh copy of it?
Thanks,
Len
