Hi Roger,
Wish I could be in Santa Clara but that is not going to happen. Have good time.

Hi Bob,
Yes, I took the Gazette when I was hanging out with the San Diego Sn3 group.
I let it lapse when we moved to Washington, as I was getting too many magazines
and was focusing on layout building. It's amazing how little modeling gets
done with a layout under construction!
I'll miss printed magazines. I prefer stretching out on the coach to sitting
upright at a computer screen, but the world is changing. See you in Santa
Clara.
Roger

Roger, I have been reading the Gazette for some time and even went so far
as to pick up back issues back into the late 70's. I think it is one of the
best publications out there regardless of scale.

You guys have sold me on the NG&SLG. I bought a subscription! Between
Brooks' article and my friend Chuck Rickett's article in the Jan. issue, and
all the other endorsments, as well as the S scale content. I look forward to
the Jan. issue. I have seen Bob's On3 layout and it is tops.

I have been reading the Narrow gauge and Short Line Gazette faithfully
since 1982 when friend Pete Moffett (now a fellow S Scale Workshop member) had
an article on scratch building a Quincy and Torch Lake side dump car.
Even though to this day I still do not actively model narrow gauge, I
love the magazine for the quality of work portrayed, as well as the visual
appeal of the mag itself. Although it has some great long-time contributors,
what's really amazing, is this high quality glossy print magazine is largely
the work of only three people, Bob Brown, his wife Irene and art director
Sharon Olsen.
I interviewed Bob on The Model Railway Show two years ago. He's
getting on in years. I asked him about succession plans for when he's gone.
He told me there are none. Some day the Gazette will be missed the same way
Bob Hundman's Mainline Modeler is. So you lesser-read individuals on this list
owe it to yourselves to take a look at this mag. Maybe take out a subscription.
It also has lots of useful ads for suppliers you won't find in many
other magazines...Backwoods Miniatures, Clover House, Rusty Stumps, etc. A lot
of good S scale building supplies can be found on their websites.

Way to go Brooks! Now if I could only lay my hands on one of those
Gazettes... Maybe at the OSW+S next week.

Some on this site might not be regular readers of Narrow Gauge and
Short Line Gazette magazine since the focus is heavily narrow gauge and
logging, but I thought the group might like to know that S standard gauge is
proudly represented on the cover of the January 2013 issue and my Buffalo Creek
& Gauley layout (including the logging activity) is featured inside. While a
number of the country's exceptional Sn3 layouts have appeared in the Gazette,
according to editor Bob Brown this is the first time in the magazine's history
that an S standard gauge layout has been featured. Hopefully the article will
introduce some folks not too familiar with S standard gauge to what can be done
in our favorite scale.
