Movie Mondays are becoming Movie Monthly

Well we had to make a hard choice on Movie Mondays ... we've elected to drop to one new movie a month instead of a new movie every week.

As we gear up to go to every other month on the magazine, we have to get the time from somewhere to focus on more magazine production - and Movie Monday lost.

We track traffic stats to our web site and Movie Mondays are not giving us the traffic boost we had hoped for. Apparently they're just not that exciting - they're a lot of work to do and they're not really bumping our site traffic as much as a release of the magazine does.

photo sources for articles

Question:  if one were to submit an article that of necessity uses prototype photos, what sources for photos are available.  In my case, having just obtained a digital camera, I have no backlog or library to draw upon.  I only have color and black&white snapshots that scan and reproduce poorly.  And I know I can't just scan published photos, no matter how old.

And this question can really apply to forum posts and blog entries, also.

Model Rail Cast

Over the last year I have downloaded a few of the pod cast from Model Rail Cast (one of our proud sponsors).  I haven't had the time to listen to them yet but I have a long drive coming up and thought this would be a good time to check them out.

Model Trains Weathered dot com

I applied for a membership at www.modeltrainsweathered.com (one of the magazine advertisers) but wasn't accepted.  Well, I never heard anything in 2+ weeks, so I ASSUME that I'm not going to get accepted.  I saw some GREAT models on their web site and was hoping to learn the techniques.  Maybe you can get in touch with them and suggest an article or 5 on how they do it.

Thanks

Soundtraxx at National Train Show?

I should have asked this in one of the National Train Show threads but did anyone from MRH or any subscribers that attended get a chance to see if Soundtraxx had a booth that demoed the Suroundtraxx system? I’m very interested in this system even though I’ve heard conflicting stories about transponding. N-quiring minds etc. 

Thanks,
BDF

LDSIG forum hacked

Just a heads up, the LDSIG forum has been horribly hacked by what looks like Russian porno.

I've emailed the webmaster about it.

Monday Movie

What happen to the monday movie. Same message since the 3rd of July.

By the way love all that you are doing. Keep up with the good work.

How is MRH being received by Convention attendees?

 I'm curious; how are the NMRA conventioneers responding to MRH?  Are there many readers of MRH at the convention?  How do the other mags (MR and MRC) respond?

Monday Movie for 6 July 2009 - the unofficial version

I know the hard working folks of MRH are busy at Hartford and won't be providing a Monday Movie, so I thought I'd post up one.

Totally unofficial, it's just like theirs, but without the nice models, good production values, good camera work, etc.
