This brings to mind a gap in the collecting community. The "other" magazine still focuses on PW. This magazine on mostly modern.

Nothing wrong with that.

BUT witness the popularity of the MPC Era threads.

We have a pretty good starting point with the early MPC years with the TM Books 1970-1980... but that's about it. Where are the articles interviewing Michigan employees? Where are the articles on decoration, manufacturing, and marketing of trains from the 1970-1995 era? For some of us, those were our formative years in the hobby. I was 12 in 1976. I'll be 54 on my next birthday.

These mags have to know their demographics are going to shrink unless they move forward. When I started at KOOL 105, an "oldie" was a song from 1955 to 1972. An "oldie" today is 1982-1995.

Wait too long, and the people involved will all be gone.

Kudos to the LCCA for their recent series on the 9200 Series boxcars. More please...
