Just recieved my Oct issue and as always i check the" From the Editor" to see if Marc H. is nuts or just plain crazy.[;)]
And also i recieved in the mail a video from a friend of his onboard taping of running the camera in front of an engine on my RR at the last open house.
What did I see? Was all the spots in the track that need work. He loved the on board tour.
So this time Marc H. is right on in my case. I often wonder if the WOOW factor of large bridges and tall structures helps folks to NOT see all the dirt and unfinished areas.
I can share photos but I often wonder what folks really think after their visit and would love to sit in the back seat to hear what is said.
I feel my GRR is just like any one else’s but larger.
So take a minute and read it and ,what do you see when people see what you see on your layout.[:p]
I think I always look at the goal the owner of the RR is trying to achieve, I mean some are trying to be scale outdoor models while others are a train running through the garden. I myself eventually be on the scale/realizim side of it when I get some track planted but I appreciate the endevors and triumphs of people who are not knowing alot of work went into there RR to capture what they the owner likes.
I wish GR would arrive, the wife bought me a leather recliner for my B-day and I’m waiting to brake it in right[;)]
Marty,
Marc spent the day out at Jens’s a couple weeks ago. Tons of pictures were shot. I expect an article next year on huge bridges to appear in the magazine.

Marty my entire outdoor empire is so small it can see seen in one brushing glance. [;)]
So it has to look good, at least to me. Of course I know where the screw ups are, but SWMBO, just sees toy trains. [:p]
