Submitting an article? Remember the bio!
We get a lot of article submissions that fail to include an
author bio, so we’re reminding you budding authors here to
remember to tell us about yourself!
We like to get a “mug shot” of you, ideally in a model railroad
setting, but even standing in front of a blank white wall will do.
Also give us a few paragraphs about yourself: first, tell us how you
got into the hobby, then tell us about your current hobby pursuits
and passion. Finish up with a little about your family, what you do
for a living, and what other interests you may also have.
We cover all this in our author submission guidelines

Please read and follow these guidelines – it makes your sub-
mission feel a lot more professional, and by following these
guidelines, you make our job of converting your article into
its final published form a lot easier.

on operations in New Sharon yard. You don’t want to miss
