Pamela, I was a subscriber a couple years ago. But I dropped my sub after seeing a couple layouts in N-Scale that made me cringe. One had the most gawd-awful homemade signals I'd ever seen in nearly 45 years in the hobby. And another layout made the front cover which was made with prefab, pre-"ballasted" track, probably Kato, of which no amount of work can hide the poor look.
N-Scale mag used to feature more fastidious modeling that raised the bar for N scalers. Maybe it needs to return to that?
