    Funny, Model Railroad Hobbyist posted many new items on their site from the show, including the Rokuhan turntable but NO (0) as in ZERO from AZL.

    Jeff that cracks me up. Why you ask? A guy from Model Railroad Hobbyist came by the AZL booth the first day. He had two reasons for the visit. One to hit us up for advertising and two to lecture me on how Ztrack Magazine is going to fail and they know better. That was a fun discussion by the way. The guy bemoaned how they have no Z content and wanted more and would love new items announcements. I offered up new item announcements for AZL we announced during the NTS and even tried to point out the number of new items we had in the cases. Did the guy even look at them? No. So there you go. He was literally inches from new products but couldn't take the time. I guess InterMountain must advertise with them which is why Rokuhan got the plug.

    By the way, Model Railroader spent a lot of time at the AZL booth and even filmed Hans talking about the new releases. I have also heard from Model Railroad News asking for more information on the new items. So expect to see some AZL coverage there.

    MRH spent what was in my opinion an inordinate amount of space in a recent issue explaining how their circulation now exceeded that of Railroad Model Craftsman. I found that curious to say the least-- and that's all I will say.

    Funny. I seem to recall the same prediction on CompuServe in the Trainnet forum. I'd quote it, but I don't have the time to boot up an MS-DOS 6.2 machine and copy it out to a floppy disk.
