Congrats Max - you've made it to the top!  I guess even MR will publish this type of N scale article if it is good enough for them.  :D

I haven't received my issue yet - I just let my subscription lapse (after over 25 years of subscribing) and IIRC March is the last issue I'll receive.

Thank you, guys!  :)

I've known this was coming (for nearly 2 years actually... that's how long it's been from
the time they accepted it to the time it finally got into print). 

I started noticing, perhaps 3 years ago,
that MR was putting more and more semi-craftsman pieces into their magazine.  They are still not RMC
in that regard, but I  think they are moving in the right direction.
I thought they would probably never publish a piece like this, but I wanted to try anyway.  You never
achieve anything unless you try.

Of course I am proud as punch of it.  But more importantly, this means that MR will indeed
print articles like this.   And they will do it in N Scale.   Most of all, I am happy that the large
non-N-Scale world out there will see what is possible in N.

well.
I've been planning to get that mag  lets hope I manage it.
It will be good to read.

in the mean time...
I hope you continue to get famous.
I have a well documented 2-8-0 that I hope
the Max Magliaro Museum will pay handsomely to have!

why am I laughing?

well done, Sir.

Congratulations Max! My print copy hasn't arrived yet and I downloaded the electronic version yesterday but haven't had a chance to read it yet.

Danged North East snow storm has slowed the mail man down. -- Can't wait to see the article.
Way to go Max.

I refused to renew my subscription 3 1/2 years ago. The lack of useful articles for me in N was the reason. I could take that $42 I would spend on some mags and instead aim it at a few freight cars or some metal wheels. But I may have to find this issue with Max and purchase it single.

I was of course expecting a quality article, but not such an in-depth one.  Six pages!  I was afraid MR would have done some heavy editing.

Well, they did do some cutting.  That original project thread I presented here on Railwire had
quite a few more step-by-step photos.  But to be fair, MR couldn't let this thing "consume" their issue.
I was happy to get 6 pages.  And they did do a good job of compressing a lot of data into the materials list and the photo captions.

Didn't get mine yet, but saw it in the video preview. Funny thing is I've seen it all here at the Railwire and I'm still eagerly waiting to see it all again in print. And I'll have it forever to check out when working on a loco. I told Max it would be impressive for MR even if it was HO scale. I mean most locomotive articles only show how details were added or some part was changed. This shows how to make a whole something out of pieces of parts.

Congrats Max!

I let my subscription lapse at the end of last year.  I'll have to pick up this issue at the LHS.  It will give me another reason to visit Greenfield News & Hobby before they close.
