George: It’s Boo-drow; some still call me Bud-row.
BTW just yesterday and today I’ve added four pages of images on my website, showing some of my favorite photos and how they were taken - a “behind the scenes” look!
Thanx![tup]

I had a photo of my layout on pg 54 of Bernie Kempinski’s Steel Mills book, which Kalmbach released earlier this month.
I also had an article on kitbashing and painting a Sylvan Scale Models’ Great Lakes ore boat in the now-defunct Model Railroading , September 2002 issue.
I wrote about my first layout in the December 2000 issue in “One Reader’s Opinion”. Got a couple e-mails from people regarding not my layout but my long hair that I had at the time in the photo of myself that was included.
Never did get my photo back. [:(]

Doh! Don’t jinx it! I said I’ve submitted it, and it’s gotten a modestly favorable reply (in other words, I didn’t hear the CD hit the bottom of the trash can!) I’m waiting to hear something more concrete so I can do the final assembly and any editing they might like me to do.

If someone writes an article … [:)]
One of my old German layouts had a 15 sites article in magazine. I have had a few publications.

Sorry, I missed the “nothing nailed down yet” clause [B)]
I’ve used some pictures of my dioramas and work-in-progress layout in my columns for Model Railroad News, but otherwise nope. As mentioned earlier though, someday hopefully (we can all dream can’t we?)
Once some more of my roster comes back from the paint shop I’ll start photographing and writing for an article! I’ve already been published in Trains and two local newspapers, and I run my own online newsletter which I can’t say more about here, so I’ve got the knowledge…just need the locos!

Ha !
Not unless they start a bourgeois class of layouts.
I love my layout and it is good size (22’ x 30’), fully landscaped, and lots of interesting features such as an engine servicing facility, freight yard, sidings, etc.
But, it lacks the professionalism incorporated into the design and construction of magazine layouts. Even if they featured my layout, I would fear criticism. Couldn’t handle that.
someday someday someday I hope…I feel like the singer who said he’d rather be on the cover of Model Railroad Magazine than the Rolling Stone Magazine. A guy I know at our local hobby shop actually heard him say this so I know it’s true. For me, you can keep the art magazines, I wanna be on Model Railroader. maybe in a couple of years.
Colin,
I just checked out your layout on your album pages-- very nice. I especially like your backdrop, you did a terrific job with that! Even though its simple, you’ve captured the abstract shape and color of the space “beyond” in a very believable and “forgettable” manner (which I mean as a compliment). It doesn’t pull you away from the scene but instead integrates with the scene in a way that you just accept. Well done.
I also liked the way you did your roads.
John
Well, here’s hoping the magazine will improve so you can get your layout published…
[:D]
You of course know that as soon as you do get it published, everybody else is just gonna toss in the towel and go home. What you do on a layout sir, well… it just ain’t natural, that’s all I’m saying! Pictures of your pike have been a true inspiration to me, I love looking at it!
John
You’ve got a nice layout. I am curious though, do you have a track plan of it anywhere? I’d like to see how it all fits together.
John
That’s very nice except for all that rotton track work… who’dja get to do that !!!
(Just kidding, please don’t hit me! Its beautiful! [:D])
What you guys have done with Fast Tracks is astonishing! I am amazed everytime I see your work, especially your Bronx Terminal project. Where on earth did you even find that place to model? Did you grow up around there?
John
Hey Harold!
I did visit and its very nice! I bookmarked your page for later. I want to go back and read your articles in depth. I am curious (I don’t know much about On3), where do you get your mechanisms for locomotives and rolling stock-- are they all store-bought or do you roll your own or some of both? I know there are some mfgrs (Bachmann comes to mind) that put out On3 stuff but that’s about the extent of my awareness of it. How long have you been modeling in On3?
John
Lee,
I think I’d have to fire that editor. If you sent pictures of your layout to me I’d make it a center spread! [:D]
(Come to think of it, you have sent me pictures of your layout…!!!)
I am always amazed at what you are able to achieve in N-scale. And especially your photography work. Very nice.
I’m a little suspicious of that “Conrail Addict Quarterly” though… must be an industry rag… [(-D]
John
Heh, at least your layout isn’t PINK! [:-^]
Seriously, your layout is really nice. I especially liked your Stockton Station area. That’s got some nice detail work in it. How long have you been building your layout?
John
Guys,Several years ago I decided I never want a layout publish in MR for one reason…
Seems to be a curse having a layout publish…
Seems those layouts gets torn up,the modeler moves or changes the layout.[swg]…
