Comments on: 40 Years of August in Model Railroader – Part 5 http://www.polyweb.com/dans_rr/blog/index.php/archives/35 Stories about building my model railroad and other things found along the tracks Tue, 19 Oct 2010 17:06:22 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Dave W http://www.polyweb.com/dans_rr/blog/index.php/archives/35/comment-page-1#comment-5724 Dave W Sat, 03 Feb 2007 19:28:05 +0000 http://www.polyweb.com/dans_rr/blog/index.php/archives/35#comment-5724 Hi, I just discovered your blog and I am responding to Part 5 of 40 years of Model Railroader. I found it very interesting how you color coded the various issues then comented on the editors. I agree that the mag has gone downhill since the late eighties. I've always felt that Westcott was superb as an editor and Larson followed well in his footsteps. I noticed a downhill slope after Sperandeo took over and I am thoroughly dismayed with what Thompson has done to this magazine. It seems there was a lot of change simply for change sake and articles, in the traditional sense, have become nearly non-existant. My point is, I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in my feelings. I am hoping that someday, Dave Popp moves in to the editor's office. I like his style and think he can turn things around for us. Regards, Dave Hi,
