MR Insider Weekly: July 7, 2014
Very nice to see Ben and Jenny out front of the camera for a change.
Kudos Jenny on your Insider Weekly video, well done and good luck to Ben as he steps into the great hobby of model railroading. Keep up the good work.
In the interest of expanding MRVP’s insights into model railroading, I think Jenny should have her own segment. Maybe called “Jenny’s Turn” (can mean either of two definitions). If she can’t do the skill work like the guys, she could explain what the different titles/jobs of the MR staff are, road trip to where MR is printed to show the production side of MR from first idea for a story/article, space layout to finished product that we get in the mail.
I second Robert’s suggestion of having Jenny’s perspective of what goes on behind the pages of Model Railroader magazine. I also like his suggestion about a road trip to the printer. I spent most of my career in printing, paper and publishing and would really like to take a video field trip to watch the magazine being produced.
A Star is born!
Yeah Jenny, and good to see you again!
I would also like to third Robert’s suggestion that you have your own regular segment, and he’s got some fine initialization ideas. If I may add my own two cents worth, as a relative newcomer to the hobby, I always thought that some brief histories of some of the more major/class one lines, their routes, terrain, etc would be cool for not only historical reasons, but for general education and background information as well for those of us considering the development angle.
Best wishes!
