To our readers
The following post is a hats-off and congratulation to everyone
who participates on the MRH website forum
.
“Thanks for all your input and encouragement, I've submit-
ted questions in other forums before (other than RR'ing) and
never gotten the kind of response I've gotten here. I've been
a long-time model railroad enthusiast but never had the time
to dig in, this will be my first. I'm sure there'll be bumps, fail-
ures and successes, but I guess that's what it's all about, it's
not the arrival, it's the getting there. So I think I've found a
home and lots of friends. Thank you all once again.” ... Rob
This post says a lot about you, our readers, and you should be
proud. Your participation and willingness to take the time to
help others is what makes MRH so great. From the staff, we
would like to say thank you and keep on doing a great job.
MRH $500 layout contest #2
I
t’s that time again. Getting started in the hobby with $500. What
would you do – how far can you get on $500? You don't actually
need to spend the money, but we won't stop you if you want to.
With this issue of MRH, we’re kicking off our contest: Help a hobby
newcomer get started right in the hobby of model railroading in an
affordable way.
The contest has few rules. You can spend only $500 and you need
to get an operating layout as a result.
You can assume basic tools like a hammer, saw, drill, pliers,
screwdrivers, hobby knife, motor tool, and a soldering iron. But
not much more.
