Thanks Roger, one of the benefits of photographing various layouts is
'hanging' with the various builders and learning a bit from them--guys
like Dave Jasper, Frank Titman, Jess Bennett, and yes even Roger Nulton
plus a couple dozen others. All have done work that have put them just
a notch or two above most of us and have caught the eye of someone in
the publishing arena. It's a ton of work, in cramped spaces with
limited time, but I've always thoroughly enjoyed them all. Additionally
the wives often have gone the extra mile to help to make things run
smoothly.
My big regret is that I never seem to get enough time to actually see
them run or even operate on these layouts. Time and budgets rarely
allow for that. One exception was Jess Bennett, once in setting up a
shot I needed him to move a train--I figured he would run the train
around the loop, but Jesse just backed up a 40 car train, double headed
on a large S curve trestle like it was nothing. I think most of us
would have cars scattered on the ground below!

Congratulations, Bob. I know how hard you have to work to produce an
image acceptable to Kalmbach. You are the Master! S scale is one
sixth of the year 2013: that should get their attention! I look
forward to getting my copy of the calendar. So many positive signs for S.

Friends,
My mailman just delivered an advanced copy of Great Model Railroads 2013
Calendar. Our California based New York Central railroad made a very
nice appearance. So Ed's PA's could now be called Miss April!
