NOTES ON AN OLD TIMETABLE
ANOTHER New Year and model railroad clubs and many of the better private layout owners are getting ready for the annual NMRA Open House Week, January 16-25. Chairman Russ Rauch gives some pointers in the Dispatchers Report Column elsewhere in this issue on how to hold an open house. And many layouts open to view are listed in the Model Railroad Timetable column. Also see your dealer who may have news of more local shows.
Many fine comments on the full color center spread appearing in our December issue have been received. Modelers who'd like to get an unfolded copy without staple holes, for framing, printed one side only, can get one from RMC's Reader Service Department at $1.50 each. Or use two of those NMRA membership certificates if you're an NMRA member and get two new members.
Rapid Transit is a new virgin field for most modelers. While almost evsubway buff and rapid transit fan will come up with a different definition of what rapid transit is, we take it to take in those mass transit cars that don't quite measure up to AAR railroad standard but which are above the level of street cars and inter-urbans for handling dense traffic. Include here your subway and model cars and certain other rail equipment that just don't fit into other categories. It's a wide open field for traction fans, especially.
January is as good a time for new resolutions as any. Maybe this year we can observe the following:
1-Resolve not to ridicule my buddy's operating layout because it's built all wrong when mine is covered with a two-inch layer of dust, old magazines and beer cans, tools and clothes pins.
2-Resolve to repair all damaged and complete equipment.
3-Install the same coupler on all cars.
4-Fix those broken switches, eliminate any dog legs and bad track, and get the control panel modernized.
5-Complete the scenery.
6-Resolve to explore the mysteries of operation.
7-Resolve again not to ridicule my buddy's operating layout because he built it all wrong when my own pike is covered with a two-inch layer of dust, old magazines, beer cans, tools, and clothes pins.
