ov/Dec 2010 marks the last of the bimonthly MRH magazine schedule. Starting with the January 2011 issue, MRH will be coming your way each and every month. Wondering when each new issue is due out next year? The answer is still, the first Monday of each month. We’re looking forward eagerly (but with a bit of trepidation) to the monthly schedule ahead. The added continuity from going monthly will be great, but producing twice the number of magazines will take a bit of work!
In this issue The featured story of Issue 10 is Vic Roseman’s Switching the Daylight. Whether you’re a SP fan or not, this article tells the story of two kids who rode their bikes down to the San Jose, CA depot in 1955 to watch the yard crews working with the road crews to make up the Coast Daylight from three other trains – and they
only had 12 minutes to get all that switching done! Woe to the man who delayed the Daylight! Vic modeled the San Jose depot and all the passenger cars used to demonstrate this process. His first-rate photography will really draw you into the story. Then Vic talks about modeling the Daylight yourself. Also in this issue are directions for making your own rock molds using kitchen caulk, part 2 of Matt Snell’s passenger car modeling, and an interview (and layout tour) with Kevin Klettke and his bedroom size Washington Northern. Kevin is a frequent poster on the MRH forum and when we saw some photos of his layout, we knew we wanted to feature it in MRH. We also have another installment of Thomas Garbelotti’s attempt to build a model railroad in a 22nd floor apartment in Abu Dhabi. Our illustrious publisher, Joe Fugate, writes about extending zip texturing to weathering powders. Plus a goodly selection of columns and another First Look!
MRH podcasts continue Starting with Issue 7, MRH has been partnering with Paul Gilette and Ryan Anderson to produce MRH podcasts. These podcasts feature authors in the corresponding issue or other persons of interest. So far we have two podcasts and are looking forward
