Looks great! Where did that giant F-unit MR&T loco nose on the wall come from?
Nice digs. Most interesting question, though, is what effect this move and purchase will have on the published magazine in size, focus and content. Would be nice to see a June or July MR of close to 100 pages chock full of articles, reviews, layout visits, ads, how-to’s, etc. to compete with the White River magazines Model Railroad News and Craftsman.
That’s great news about an upcoming project layout. Any hints about scale, layout size, era, locale, or roadname? Whatever it is, I’m looking forward to it.
The new offices look great! Question – did the Snake Job addition to the Beer Line make it to the new space? Marc
The new spaces look great. The workbenches look height adjustable which I’m sure makes things more comfortable to fit the work level to what you need. Looking forward to seeing the new layout build.
Looks good David really enjoy the new MR Headquarters. Hopefully the new layout coming will be a rebuild of the MR&T I miss that layout.
Thanks for the tour! Looks like a great space!
I am certainly glad ya’ll are not bumping elbows in some small place. Happy Christmas to all and a great New Year.
I hope you get a new version of the MR&T ready to run soon, and happy holidays
Looking forward to seeing it in person one day
Thank you for the tour!
May your holidays be merry and bright.
