MRH is looking for a modeler who lives in the Milwaukee area and is willing to volunteer to help us this summer at the NMRA National in July.

We're looking for a trustworthy person willing to help us set up and tear down our booth, and willing to help us staff the booth during the National Train show. We will also give you some orientation on what to say to modelers or vendors while staffing the booth.

A few legitimate posts are getting marked as spam ... don't worry, we're monitoring the spam posts queue and if we see anything that isn't spam, we're letting it out of jail and get posted!

So if your post gets flagged, it's gone into a moderation queue and will get posted in an hour or two once a moderator checks the spam queue.

It's also worth mentioning that the spam filter over all is working well. There's been over 50 attempts to post spam on this site in the last couple of days and the spam filter seems to have caught almost all of them.

Does anyone remember an article or sidebar in Model Railroad Planning or anywhere else within the last ten years that addresses the subject of staging within a helix?

 Will the MRH magazine be made available for the Apple iPad? The iPad seems a neat way to read the magazine without having to boot up the computer. I do not know whether the rich content of the embedded edition would be viewable but since the iPad is designed to be a video, music, movie and magazine reader, it would make sense.
