Hello everyone, hope all is well.

I just wanted to express a sincere appreciation to the staff of the monthly Trainini. Despite all the challenges and hardships they endured, the monthly publication was still available for our reading pleasure, with the only understandable compromise being released a few days late. The quality and information provide to us did not suffer. There have been exceptionally high quality articles published time after time. Speaking on behalf of us all, our thanks goes out to them. Happy holidays and all our hopes for a blessed New Year!

I wanted to share the great pleasure which I have experienced by reviewing past issues. I always enjoy the photos of z scale scenes and the highly detailed items added and try to look for ways that I can improve my layout. The technical articles are also informative and provide an insight of new and improving technologies which keeps us abreast of our hobby. It is surprising to see how many things can been appreciated again by reading these older monthly publications. Anyone new to our hobby will also find these full of useful information which cannot be found elsewhere. Here is a link to these old Trainini monthly pubs. I enjoy these, I think you will too.

The International Publications are the English versions the others being in the original language.

Happy holidays and best wishes for a great new year.

Too many to mention! And particularly items which are only available from European distributors, that I never would have known about otherwise.

Hi.

Many agreed this was a good idea, or obtained the digital version, better yet.



Newbees can find at this link.

Hello. Hope all is well.

The photos of the various layouts always present the near perfect scenes. The detail in each is inspiring. I know I got many of my inspirations just looking at the layouts.

New products were also a main attraction too. Just knowing what was released or going to be released is a great heads up. I could make plans and if I was lucky, be able to pick up a few of the items mentioned.

I noticed product reviews are not always sugar coated. They are honest and not influenced by outside interests. When something is good we are told about it, and likewise if the product is flawed, we find out about this too. I trust a publication which follows this principle, everyone does. Who else would tell us the VW track maintenance van was small, but not quite Z scale and not quite N, but somewhere in between.

Thanks for your input.

Take good care.

Dwight
