MRH staff notes - 5
plus its comment thread into something a static print magazine
can't begin to match.
We like the idea that the comment thread can be a good place
to bring the newbies along on the more advanced topics.
This all said, we do have some parts of our magazine where we
take more time to lead by the hand. For instance, our MRH QAT
column takes a more tutorial tone on many topics. And Bruce
Petrarca takes the time to explain the mysteries of DCC to our
readers.
We also publish an occasional article that deals with some
basic techniques, like a recent article we did on simple freight
car weathering by Dirk Reynolds.
So thanks for the feedback. It appears most of you feel we're
doing it about right – mostly pointing the way, with some lead-
ing by the hand now and then, depending on the topic. It's also
a great point that you, our readers, can also assist with any
leading by the hand needed to bring the newbies along.
That's a team effort we feel is hard to beat!
How to save an article
Some of our readers like to not save the entire issue of MRH on
their system, but save only the articles of interest. This is espe-
cially true for those who don't have a great Internet connec-
tion and who go to the library to use their web connection to
access MRH.
We get questions from readers on how to save individual arti-
cle more easily. The answer depends on what kind of computer
you're using to access MRH.
