The summer of 2004 brought change to the Redstone Model Railroad Club. The cyclic storms of change ushered in the calls for a new layout, driven by new concepts, and new technologies. For all model railroad clubs that have been around a while these calls for change are not unfamiliar. Model railroading is a continually evolving hobby - new technologies and a yearning to improve the dynamic fidelity to the real thing are the engines that drive the storms of change. These are storms because not all members of a club are on the same page and the product can be great stress.

With voices calling for a new layout and fatigue from producing a monthly newsletter for over three years, a few members of the newsletter staff simply ran out of gas. Model railroading should be fun and the collective manhour effort required to produce a quality newsletter each month was rapidly turning that fun into burden and dread.

So, after a very long recuperation, and with a commitment from our membership to help, we will resume publishing the Redstone Rails in January, 2008. It will now be a quarterly publication with more article than our monthly newsletter.We are also better equipped. -improved cameras and lenses will provide higher quality images, particularly in closeup photography of small scale models.
