I got to say you have a knack for grabbing the reader and keeping them involved to the end of the article. Your latest article on Casey Jones was both informative and intriguing enough to keep me reading to the very end (As well as the other articles). I love to read, however I find that reading stories online, I tend to skip through most articles, but not with the VMR articles.

Very nice work, and it shows you love what you do with these articles as well as the site itself. I don't usually send "feed backs" per se, but felt your work and articles warranted a job well done. I've read some of your other articles in the past, I for one hope you keep it up.

In short thanks for the time and effort you've put into your articles so far, and once again, good job!

I'm looking forward to more info on Trainz items as well as more articles on real life trains as well.

I just wanted to thank you again for VMRJ. This is the first E-zine I have ever been interested in where the interface did not drive me away. It is simple to navigate, has clean - no frills pages and is easy on the eyes.

Oh yeah... did I mention the content is top notch too?

I just looked around the March issue –- the mag just keeps getting better and better. I definitely get a kick out of the film strips and, as some other readers noted, definitely see application possibilities beyond the world of railroading. Virtual walkthroughs for real estate, construction, architecture, assembly line procedures could all make use of the technology. A little creative thinking and the application of the Auran software just leads to all kinds of exciting possibilities. In the meantime, keep up the outstanding efforts!

Far's I'm concerned this is an outstanding edition. I really liked the exposition on steam engines. And I'm reading and looking for the elements for panorama videos.

Re: 1 Mar 04 posting

I have never -- ever -- liked online magazines. I think mainly because they always seem (to me) to be excuses for advertising or gimmicks. I was an English major, and in school I read a lot of lit. magazines and journals, so perhaps that's why I tend to be critical. But VMRJ is so well written and looks so good I think it's probably the best online publication I've ever come across. Visiting the page(s) really feels like reading as opposed to merely warping from hyperlink to hyperlink. It is a consistently useful and informative journal and not just a fansite. It is tough (I think) to get people to "linger" on such sites; I actually look forward to VMRJ each month (whereas with a lot of online "magazines" I just don't want to bother).

Re: 1 Feb 04 posting

you wrote... One of the most important things to me is that Trainz' creator, Auran, is accessible and involved. You can e-mail real live Auran people at the Help Desk.

I'll echo that -- John Banks is super on getting back to you and it is alway personal, never a form answer!!!

Re: 1 Feb 04 posting

Al, an excellent issue, congratulations. I'm biased of course, but I liked the article about the SR&RL, the one about using Trainz as a presentation tool is also very valuable, I have always considered Trainz to be more than a train simulator, I think it has the potential to be a World simulator.

I did enjoy.
