Do we lead you by the
hand or just point the way?
Making sure MRH has the right focus
W
hat expectations do you have for how MRH should
contribute to your enjoyment of model railroading?
More specifically, do you think MRH should lead you
by the hand, or should we primarily just point the way?
In the January 2013
MRH Product Showcase
comment thread,
a reader expressed disappointment because we didn't provide
more prototype details to go with the ten cylindrical covered
hopper click-n-spins.
If you expect MRH to lead you by the hand, then yes, it makes
sense to include a lot of prototype info with such a click-n-spin
feature. But should MRH just spoon feed you? Do we serve you
best by trying to always be your one-stop-shop answer to all
things model railroading?
However, if MRH primarily just points the way, then the MRH
Product Showcase click-n-spins can become a great supplement.
By providing you with nice 3D visual presentations of these
models, we alert you to the fact these models exist. Now you
can go Google "Hawker Siddeley 4550 Cylindrical Hopper" and
find a wealth of prototype information on the web.
