Reply to "Return of The Railroad Model Craftsman"

I certainly do hope so. OGR/OSR from the 80's and 90's were chock-full of craftsman articles and scratch-builds. I've kept those issues and still enjoy reading them. They were very well-written by a generation that don't appear much anymore in the magazines. I doubt I'll ever become a model railroad craftsman, and while committed to the "toy-rail" aspect of the hobby, I appreciate the "O-scalers" of old, for lack of a better phrase. Even the black & white pictures of their work stand-out. Their track-plans are also noteworthy and fascinating to study to this day. Their layouts went beyond display-type for the most part - a lot of John Armstrong elements incorporated.

Interesting changes in the hobby from the 80s to the 90s to the 2000s are captured in the hobby magazines, kind of like watching history unfolding as I go back and re-read my favorite editions.
