Eric in Gainesville--AMB caboose modelling tips

[NW Modeling List]

Not to pile on, and since I consider both Ken and Matt friends I don't
think they'll take take it that way:
1)The BOD is always willing to consider putting modeling back in the Arrow.
2)We keep discussing an electronic version of (the)Modeling column, and
some of us are looking carefully at what some other societies are doing in
that vein.
3)We still have the problem that we(Ken)can only publish what someone
submits, and a lot of the good modelers in the society are working on their
layouts or building stuff instead of writing articles.  (gee; sounds like
someone has to work to get these folks to give clinics at conventions).

who really does have some Virginian Modeling articles in the works.
