Congratulations to Brooks Stover on his November 2012 Model Railroader
cover article "How to Make Tree-covered Hills" which arrived in the mail today.
While the article mentions that Brooks models in S scale, its focus is on
tree-building and the challenges that process presents generally to the model
railroader.
Articles like this are a recognition that S is moving up from a scale
depicted irregularly in the hobby press to a scale accepted and used by that
press to communicate with modelers in all scales. Paul Scoles many
appearances in that press and Dick Karnes' layout's recent appearance in the
July 2012 Model Railroad Craftsman are in this same vein. They represent not
only an achievement for the individual author but as step up for S as well.
Things can only get better!
Regards.
Paul Schilling
