VERY sad to see the magazine go. I have been a faithful reader for most or all of those 35 years. and still consider Large Scale trains and garden railroading to be one of my favorite areas of the hobby. I still get requests from time-to-time for my Getting Started in Garden Railroading book, which I wrote and published years ago. Marc Horowitz did a fine job with the magazine, and when he left the helm, so, too, did a lot of the inspiration that kept the publication vibrant, interesting, and up-to-date. My hope is that someone in the hobby publishing field--White River Productions, for example--will see the continuing need for a magazine devoted to that distinctive aspect of model railroading. I do firmly believe there is a viable market for a print publication devoted to Large Scale railroading, including both indoor and outdoor operations.
