Model Railroader online magazine has, this week, reprinted an article on Detailing Ponds

Funnily enough they have also announced a diorama contest :!:

My issue came today and there's some good stuff in there including an article on an easy way to build a large helix. Sound familiar to anyone. :wink:

It is a great issue, Bob.  I'm enjoying the article on using details selectively.

I must say this - I am very impressed with their distribution network.  You got your issue today, only a day after mine arrived :!:

Was this only in the online magazine, Tim.
I didn't know they did such a version, I assumed it's the same as the printed version, which I sometimes buy.
Is there a subscription to pay :?: (I guess it would be cheaper than the printed one anyway. )

What you see is free, Jeff, but very limited.  The frontpage acts as a promotional page for the printed magazine, with numerous enticements.  The online product reviews and libraries (including a vast layout design facility and past article cache) are subscriber only.  By that they mean subscribers to the printed magazine.

Believe me, it is worth a few pounds a year (especially with such a strong pound/euro against the dollar) 8)  I know that the models are predominantly American, but the technique sections and general availability of knowledge are better than most other model rail magazines I have seen.

Er… sorry, Bob.  Clean up needed :oops:  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

One of my sections, Tim, so I've deleted the duplicated post for you.
Thanks for the clarification about the magazine.

Even in old Bightly my copy of April MR arrived a few days ago on sub. I agree, the scenic feature is very good indeed. Pelle Sjoberg is highly talented in this area.
