Thank you, Y3a! I saw a few issues of Mainline Modeler and liked what I saw; however, I think it ceased being published some time in the mid 2000.

Wow, I dont think COX may have lasted very long in trains. IMHO. They did some model rocketry back in the day and I dont remember them lasting very long with that either.Just completed 1975. This year was a very productive year for articles I want to go back to and read. In the February issue, there is a description of John Allen's Tab on Car system for routing freight cars. The November issue has and article on developing time tables by Jim Hediger. The December issue talks about modeling Waterfalls. In my perusal of a typical years worth of Model Railroaders, i might find 1-2 articles I feel I want to read over. 1975 had 5 articles i have recorded as needing reading.
I see that COX, the Model Airplane people are now into Model Trains. I don't think this endeavor on there part was very long lived. There are a few new additions to the Brass suppliers, such as Nickle Plate Products, Sunset and N.J. International. Heathkit makes a huge Power Pack, send them your address and they will send you a Catalog! Model Railroader has continued with their project railroads. It seems that once a year they present one; or, upgrade an older project railroad.
I would say that up until the mid 1970s, most modelers where still steam addicts. Now, slowly but surely, diesels are starting to come into there own. Also, N scale seems to be gaining in popularity!
On to 1976!
I just looked at my copy of the April issue #1000... Willie
