Volunteer needed at Atlanta Train Show
The MRH team will be attending the National Train Show in
Atlanta, and we will have a booth there.
Each year, we like to seek out a local volunteer who can help us
with the show. Having someone on the team who knows the
local area has really been helpful, so we’re looking for some-
one who knows Atlanta well, and who lives there.
If you’re willing to help us out, we’ll pay for your registration
to the convention and train show, plus you will get to be some-
thing of an insider for the train show. We also will give you an
official MRH golf shirt that you get to keep.
In exchange for these benefits we ask that you help staff our
booth, help us set up and tear down our booth, and that
you let us drop ship some booth materials to your address in
advance of the train show. Also, we may ask you to run a few
errands for us like going to the local office supply for some
booth supplies or to ferry someone to and from the airport.
If you’d like a fully paid registration to the convention, and you
can help out with the tasks we list above, please contact us via

Slow downloads? Use another source, Luke!
Every so often we hear from a reader who complains the maga-
zine download is slow or worse yet, gets hung, or isn’t working
at all.
The answer is to use a different source - by that we mean use
our mirror servers or to use the “green button” download
instead of the “red button” download.
The internet works as reliably as it does because it allows a
network to be connected together as a resilient “web” so that
the path from there to here can one of many different routes
depending on conditions.
This does mean the route from our server to your computer/
device over the web may be different this month than it was last
month, so it may behave differently too.
