Hello All --
Just a note to let you know about some small layout articles in the
April Model Railroader:
The cover story features a very nicely done "large" small layout --
an 8'×8' based on a published trackplan.
There's also an article on fitting 4×8 and 5×9 layouts with along-the-
walls shelf extesnions into typical small bedrooms.
I don't subscribe to MR and only pick up issues when they have
something interesting that stands out, so I was unaware that MR was
running a "small layout contest".
I have not been paying a lot of attention to the hobby press in the
last year or two, but within the issues of MR and MRP that I have
picked up in the last three months, there does seem to be a lot of
press on smaller layouts lately.
Anyone else notice this too?
Thanks --
Jon Piasecki
