          RH and the greater
        
        
          community in the
        
        
          MRH forums have
        
        
          ruined my hobby. It used to be
        
        
          a fun hobby. I'd go to the hobby
        
        
          shop, see something that
        
        
          looked cool and buy it. I would
        
        
          joyfully take it home, plop it
        
        
          on my diorama or small layout,
        
        
          whichever I had at the time,
        
        
          and run it around and around.
        
        
          It was a nice past time that pro-
        
        
          vided me some semblance of
        
        
          stress relief.
        
        
          Enjoying my hobby, I came
        
        
          across Joe Fugate's Siskiyou Line website in 2008. I loved scenery
        
        
          but had only made a small attempt at it on a diorama once. Joe's
        
        
          video series looked like something I would enjoy and was reason-
        
        
          ably priced, so I bought it. I tried out several of the techniques
        
        
          and enjoyed this next step. Joe also discussed his new ezine that
        
        
          he planned to produce, which I was fully supportive of. I'm a
        
        
          visual learner and the thought of videos and more pictures avail-
        
        
          able through an ezine would benefit me more. I eagerly awaited
        
        
          the magazine and joined the MRH forums months before MRH
        
        
          released its first issue.
        
        
          The MRH forums were modest at first, but friendly and helpful.
        
        
          There were many good tips, as well as a number of posters that
