August MRH cover sneak peek!

I'm looking forward to the August issue of MRH because our third place "One Module" Challenge winners will almost certainly get some attention, especially by those who keep insisting there's no youth in the hobby any longer ...

Flash downloader going away soon ...

The Flash downloader is very old technology at this point and most web browsers will be dropping support for Flash. We have moved the Flash downloader to deprecated status and will be dropping it completely in the coming months.

Please make sure you use the green Web downloader button. If anyone has any concerns about this coming change, this thread is the place to raise them.

MRH App difficulties

The MRH app had problems and needed updated with a bug fix. The app developers worked to fix it: the final updated app is version 5.2 - watch for it.

Timesaver VS. Inglenook Layout

I am planning on building a very small layout that is 4 feet long and 1 foot wide in N scale. I do not have the extra room in my apartment to build a 4X8 layout let alone a bedroom or a basement sized layout. I will be building a 4-3-2 Inglenook layout with six cars(and a switching lead that has a capacity of two cars plus the locomotive). I prefer building a Inglenook layout instead of a Timesaver layout because it is much easier to build(with only two turnouts) plus more prototypical than a Timesaver.
